Think about it. People have to have licenses to do all SORTS of things. You had to be taught, and practice first, to get a driver's license. Professionals have to go to school and practice to get licenses to practice medicine, pharmacy, healthcare fields, ect. Hell, you even have to have a license to FISH!! And with the extreme lack of education and proper parenting skills, child abuse, and neglect I see in this society, shouldn't parents have to have a license before having children? I mean, look at what ADOPTIVE parents have to go through before adopting a kid. So why is it so easy for adults to have children naturally???
I think adults should have to go through some sort of parenting class, prove mental and financial stability, as well as educational competence before having children. What do you guys think?

I do agree to some extent about it, but not everyone lives a perfect life. Sometimes they're situations that occur in life that you have to deal with. One year you might be eligible for a "parenting license" but the next year your not (if your judging it off of finances). Everyone should deserve the chance to have children if they want children (at least there first child). If they abuse that privilege after they have their first child, then they need to have surgery to fix it.

Yeah they should deffinitly have parenting licenses. Maybe that would stop stupid people from having kids. There is nothing more in this world that makes me cringe than when i see a kid in the news dead or mistreated. I would love to go to a courtroom and beat some sense in some parents. Its a shame.

If not that, make classes available and mandatory. Give the parents to be some thing to work with. There isn't even a manual.

My favorite line about parenting is from the movie Parethood.

You have to have a license for a dog, but any a*ss hole can be a parent.
It's kinda frightning if you think about it

Yes, sir. People should have licenses to do anything these days. We have far too many stupid people roaming the planet and they all have their head up their... you get the picture.

yes, i think it's ridiculous that you have to fill out paperwork for everything these days-but not one kind of form to have a baby other than to pay for it! my dream would be for there to be a 'school' of some sorts for teens/young adults to attend to learn real life events: parenting/bill paying/cleaning etc.

I will agree with you and you do make a point there. I think that if they did there would be less abuse and neglect of these babies.

Although it isn't a plan by nature. All of us could/could have used some help along the way.
