The birth of a new child into the family is always a great event. It makes no difference whether it is your first child or whether they already have siblings. Each child is the arrival of a new personality and will change your life regardless of which child they are. A child brings a huge amount of joy and love to the family, but on the other hand it is also a great responsibility. The way we raise and educate our children is a very subjective question. Every upbringing and out-of-school form of education are completely different; it depends on the particular household. The only thing we know for sure is that everyone does so according to their best conscience. Everyone acts as best they can and tries to be the best possible parent.
There are people who give up work because of a child. That’s how it most often works for us. The mother stays at home with the child and the father goes to work. However, there are also situations where childcare is left to a third person and both parents go to work. And then there are individuals who take their children with them to work. One such case is the situation of a man who worked with a child on his back.
The story of a widowed father
The story of the widowed father concerns a man who was left alone with the child. Therefore he was forced to earn money and at the same time care for and look after his son. He combined these two activities and began to work with the child on his back. The main reason, of course, was so that his little son would not have to be left alone at home.
This man is judged by many people. But he did not have many other options and toward his son he behaved like a true father. His effort is worthy of admiration. He is a man who was able to combine the role of father and the role of employee into one. He managed both of these activities very well. Because of this he met with admiration from many people. People in his case stand on two opposing poles. Some condemn him, others admire him. First we should reflect on ourselves to see whether we understand the circumstances and reasons for such an act, then we can take a stance toward them. This story is certainly worthy of admiration and praise for the father.
