"Accident Child"

Should one be saddened knowing she is an "accident child"?

A child conceived by accident. A child whom the couple was not expecting because they were intending to stop at two. A child who was not planned to be part of the family. But should the "accident child" still be saddened by that as she reflects on her life and realised how much love, care and concern was showered to her despite being conceived accidentally? That despite being an "accident child", she was usually given extra treatment as compared to her older siblings because she is the youngest in the family and was pampered like no other? Should she still be saddened as she thinks of how her father dotes on her and would pick and fetch her up anytime from work eventhough he was just about to go to sleep? Should she still be saddened that her mother has never shirked her responsibility as a caretaker and provided her with abundant love, food etc and has never ever neglected her in any way?

Should one still be saddened upon knowing she is an "accident child"? Should I still be saddened by that?

hmmmm why should you feel sad when u knoe that ur parents dotes on you and shower u with love and protection? alaaahh girl, accidental or not, its the same, u should be glad cos Allah tambahkan rezeki to ur family. ada yang nak anak tp sampai mati pon tak dpt..

u see, ur parents are not neglecting u, so donch be sad ok? niwei...its HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!

zuhri - yeah i totally agree wif ur comments, abang zuhri. but i have to admit this though. all this while i have been trying to lose weight for either this boy or that boy and i never, NEVER succeed. but now slowly ( and surely) sedikit demi sedikit the numbers are going down due to my changed mentality. but i have to say that it was hard to change that sorta thinking. old habits die hard, right? it is hard but NOT impossible. this time, it's for...MOI!
