How can a man get a woman pregnant, disappear into thin air, and leave her to carry the weight of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a child alone, only to resurface years later claiming to be the father? That’s not fatherhood, that’s cruelty and injustice.
You weren’t there when her feet were swollen, you didn’t hear her cry herself to sleep, you didn’t buy diapers, pay hospital bills, or calm the baby at 3 a.m, but now the child is growing fine, you suddenly remember you’re the “father”? Let’s be honest; if you’re not ready to take responsibility, keep your manhood to yourself. Don’t ruin a woman’s life with your carelessness and cowardice.
Ladies, know your worth. And to every man out there, fatherhood is more than biology, it’s about being present, committed, and responsible. Don’t show up only when it’s convenient. That child deserved a father from day one, not a visitor in year five.
