God's 1st children
To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you feel better.
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was, "DON'T!"
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God said.
" Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve...we have forbidden fruit!!!!!"
"No Way!"
"Yes way!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She started it!" Adam said.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.
BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?---#

Browsing in this journal's articles, I have a good idea you're a baby boomer, and you baby boomerd back home.
For example, about your puppy loves. Nowadays, with due respect, kids have sex with the puppies they love.
when you were young maybe, it was looked down, it still is by some, but as for me, having kids myself, I welcome this shift.
You see, our times were repressing times. I admire the kids now that they are able to do what they want to do.
Of course, with guidance as to safe sex, alimony for kids they might produce, and never marry just because they get somebody pregnant or themselves pregnant.
We are going there. Divorce is not yet allowed in the Philippines, but you can annul a marriage anytime now. For 90k to 120k, I can refer you to a lawyer, package deal.
I pity our generation in that we were bound by useless traditions and conservatism. There are some good traditions worth continuing though.
Now, I can happily advice my kids what I only dreamt long ago:
Kids, sex is very nice. But it can have grave consequences, like having a child early. So practice safe sex. Do not rape. Have sex only with those willing. If you find after these years you like your sex partner, marry him or her.
Sex is nothing to be ashamed about. It is a need, as physical as food and shelter. If you can, while still very young, just masturbate first, because maybe you havent mastered the withdrawal and you end being a parent. For you my daughter, your partner could fire it inside and viola! I have a grand son. So maybe you can do-it-yourself.
If not, use condom, because being a parent is not that easy,you might not finish your education early,and hell Iwe are not that rich to care for another baby at this time.
