Why, in your opinion, is it wrong to disown a child?

Answer 1

When that child grows into a surly (and violent Teenager) and that child ASSAULTS, Batters, Beats, Whips you with their Belt, and then helps your Ex-Spouse (of over 13 years ago) Burglarize your residence -- then ...

YOU DO Have a Case and complete respect if you DISOWN that child -- because ...


NO ONE Deserves to be abused in this manner NOR do they deserve to have their home Burglarized WILLINGLY by the child that they Raised on their own, cared totally for,

and ... then to be BETRAYED by that child (who willingly participated with the Ex-Spouse in burglarizing your home) -- they do NOT Get anything ANY MORE -- and One MUST file the Police Report and INSIST on prosecution of BOTH of these individuals.

Answer 2

You have not provided enough detail for anyone to answer this question honestly. Disown as in out of the will disown or give up for adoption? You have not said how old this "child" is - under 21 or an adult nor what you believe this child has done to deserve being disowned. No body can get you advice or an answer based on a one sentence question with no detail.
You must realize that this decision could affect both of you for the rest of your lives. Decisions like that should not be made without serious consideration and advice from experts in the field of family relations and law - yes law - your child has rights depending on their age. Your child must have done the unforgivable for you to even consider such a drastic measure. I would strongly suggest getting outside help before resorting to this as you may regret the decision down the road and may not be able to repair it them. In the end this is YOUR child you're talking about disowning - your child not someone else's. This is the child who lay under your heart for nine months, this is the child you cherished and tucked into bed every night - this is the child who loved you unconditionally and depended on you the parent when they were little.
You need to do everything in your power to try to resolve this before resorting to this drastic measure.
Good Luck.

Answer 3

Because that child didn't ask to be here in the first place. You brought that child into this world and it's your job to take care of the child come hell or highwater. If you don't, that child carries that "I'm not good enough" feeling throughout life and into their own relationships as adults. Which then leads to it repeating the cycle. Don't take a coward's way out. Grab hold of the situation, deal with it, no matter how bad it is (it could always be worse), and mend those fences before it's too late. And remember, this same child, that is causing all this grief now, use to come to you for hugs and kisses, sleep like an angel and always know mom and dad are going to be there....NO MATTER WHAT. Why go against what you've taught him/her to believe? Don't do it...you'll regret it hon. Maybe not now, but down the road a few years when you've hit a realization that you made a mistake and once you do it, it's too late to fix.

Look to your heart for the answer honey...it rarely steers you wrong.

Answer 4

Why would any body want to disown their child?

If you are talking about giving up you're child for adoption, because you feel they will have a better life, or you we're rape or anything along those lines I don't see anything wrong with that. But if you are talking about a child that you have bounded with and raise I can't imagine your love for them to turn into nothing from one day to the other.

I can't think of a moment that my baby girl has upset me and thinking in the morning I'm giving you up. Have a good life.

Answer 5

I think it is wrong. No parent should disown their own children no matter what. A child grows up into adulthood reflecting the values that we as parents teach them. Just because we don't agree with what they do, doesn't give us the right to disown them. The parents should love unconditionally their children but have right to reject their deeds.

Answer 6

I don't think you should disown the flesh of your flesh. That is YOUR creation, good times or bad, you have to ride that out and teach them the right way. If you are constantly in there life from the beginning, an outside influence shouldnt be able to creep in. You are failing your kid if you throw them to the wind. You may not like what they do and God forbid it gets to the point they cant live in your house, i think one should leave the door open so that they know that when they can live right, they can come back.

Answer 7

Its wrong because it you are a parent and you are raising that child, no matter how many times the child messes up the child needs to know that their mom will always be there for support and that they will always have a home and love to come back too. People mess up and make mistakes but in the mist of all that they need to knw that they have family or jst a parent there to lean on when times get hard.

Answer 8

I, myself, am a disowned child, don't ever do it, parents are supposed to be there NO MATTER WHAT!! no matter the mistake, or the greats, i haven't spoken to my father in over a year... I tried to talk to him about 6 months ago.. he wouldn't see me, don't ever do it, parents are supposed to help you even if you don't want the help, they are supposed to give advice, talk, argue, everything, and they are supposed to protect instead of hurt... not to mention, you have to live with the fact you aren't there for your child if/when they need you, and the child feels that, no matter what, my father is a violent alcoholic, but i still love him, still want to see him, he disowned me because i couldn't get along with my step=mother, I am 19 yrs old, and I am about to get married, and he told me to go to hell... isn't going to be there for one of the biggest days of my life.... and that is why you don't disown your children, you miss the BEST days, when you need to be there.........no matter how old or young, in the eyes of a child, the parents are right up there with God... thick/thin.. children still love their parents NO MATTER WHAT

Answer 9

well for starters, its your child...if they are not living up to what you think is not labeled as a "good person" you have to take a look at your own parenting skills and ask yourself "was i a good parent"?
what values did i teach my child?
children are not like furniture that you can just throw away, disowning your child would only further add damage to an already troubled child..
when they need your help the most, you don't turn your back on them.
there part of you, rememeber that...

Answer 10

If you mean disown as in give a child up for adoption, I don't think that's wrong at all.
