This week we are helping take care of four of our grandchildren, all less than four years old. Two of them are four month old twin boys. Needless to say they require continuous attention. Lack of sleep is a constant reminder that life is not yours but is spent on the babies. Now we love children and understand that love demands everything from you. Everyone knows kids are stressful, especially if they’re fussy. I often see young men and women with accidental kids. Many times the “father” is chewing on the mother about something the baby needs or does. And this baby cramps the “fathers” frivolous lifestyle. Parenting with love is difficult; without it, some type of abuse is in order. It’s been said there’s a war on women. That may be true outside of Western culture. Men have been relinquished to at best a supportive role in the family. Yes, women have been duped into becoming men’s sex toys, but being gullible is hardly the result of war. Women have been persuaded to give up their most noble creation, children, all in exchange for the passing fancy of some man. The real war is on children. We abort them by the millions, abuse them, break their family’s apart, excuse people who molest them so they can be molested again. Children are innocent victims with no voice, no weapon to defend themselves, and few men and women to stand in the gap for them. But payback is at the door. This present generation, like its parents, will be less kind, more brutish, and the older will be discarded and devalued like they were.
