Tell Her To Have Your Baby Alone - Ojiugo Soso

A comment on Instagram, “Tell her to have it alone,” was made in response to a woman’s decision not to abort her baby. This harsh statement reveals a troubling disregard for the shared responsibility of parenthood, placing the entire burden on the woman.

Choosing to continue a pregnancy is a deeply personal decision, and abandoning the mother dismisses the father’s role and the importance of mutual support. This mindset perpetuates harmful stereotypes, leaving women to face the challenges of parenthood alone.

Such attitudes also neglect the long-term impact on both the mother and the child, who deserves the love and involvement of both parents. It’s crucial to promote communication, understanding, and shared responsibility in relationships, ensuring that no one faces the challenges of parenthood in isolation.
