Parenthood

There's one thing every married couple should go through: it's called parenthood. What's
going to be great about parenthood is when the moms and the dads raise their children to
be respectful to others, to be considerate, and stuff. It seems that the mom can't raise
her children on her own and the dad can't raise the kids on his own, either. It takes two
people (husband and wife) to raise children and one of them can't do it alone. Everybody
knows that if the sons and/or the daughters break the rules the parents have set for them
on the table, there's real consequences, that includes no TV, no phone, nothing. But no
matter how much love and support these parents are giving their children, they're still
human beings, just like everybody else. And without parenthood and if these two parents
are going to just let their kids get away with anything, then these two are not doing a
great job as parents at all.
