Why Are Parents So Unhappy? — Al Mohler dissects an article from New York Magazine about how society’s view of parenting has changed over time, and why today’s parents are more likely to be unhappy. This helps to explain why fewer and fewer people are becoming parents today. The magazine’s assertion: “Kids… went from being our staffs (helping out on the farm and with family business) to being our bosses.” Mohler’s solution: “Christians must see children as gifts from God, not as projects. We should see marriage and parenthood as a stewardship and privilege, not as a mere lifestyle choice. We must resist the cultural seductions and raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and understand family life as a crucible for holiness, not an experiment in happiness.”
This is pretty darn impressive!
