? Do you want to have children? It’s one of those conversations that can be challenging, but it’s also very important: The “do you want kids?” “If the person you’re dating doesn’t want kids and you do, this could be a deal-breaker. A child is the primary responsibility of the parents, and if the parents are not in a position to do justice to this responsibility then there is no point in getting a child in this world. Help is very much needed to bring up a child but it should be just a help and not offloading the whole responsibility on others. In today’s world where mostly both husband and wife are working in a high-pressure environment, taking care of a child is a challenge. Day care, full time maids, grandparents’ help (when they should enjoy their retired life) are just simple adjustments to bring up a child.
