These schools need to stop preaching abstinence to these young people and start including the real cost of babies in a family planning curriculum.

104 diapers only last 1.5 - 2 weeks. How many for a yr? That alone put the fear of God inna my heart and mi a big ooman.

We nuh even reach the cost of formula, baby furniture, wipes, clothes!!! doctor visit, babysitting/daycare.

Much less school fee for each stage of life, extra-curricular activities, clothes!!!, uniforms, haircare, unforeseen expenses, emergency expense, college tuition savings, therapy for yourself when you go accumulate di money weh yah spend.

This still nuh take into context how to budget with a partner& #39;s income (stable or lack thereof) or as a single parent.

That& #39;s just FINANCIALLY. Talk about how much you also have to give of your time, care, effort, love, attention, discipline round the clock. KUDOS to the parents who do it day in, day out and still manage to raise wonderful and conscientious human beings.
