This generation seems to see children as a financial burden and responsibility to be avoided.
In "The Atonement Child," Francine Rivers explores the modern perspective on parenthood, highlighting how many view children as a financial strain rather than a joy. This shift in mindset reflects broader societal attitudes towards responsibility and family. As a result, there is a growing tendency to perceive having children as something to be feared or postponed.
Rivers' work prompts reflection on the value of life and the essential role children play in family dynamics and society. By critiquing this generation's approach to family planning, she encourages readers to reconsider the true meaning of parenthood beyond financial implications, advocating for a more positive view of bringing new life into the world.
