Kids and family

 Humanity has long been concerned with the concept of family and the status of a potential child born in a partnership between a man and a woman, as their biological parents. Of course, this type of family is idealistic. We have also known for a long time the birth of children outside of marriage and of course the punishment of such births or the stigmatization of children as bastards or illegitimate children, which should have been abolished in the modern concept of the family and all children of one mother or one father should be equal.

We still like to present to our youngest or children the idealistic small nuclear family, which consists of equal partners of different sexes who love each other and of course the child is also the fruit of love between a man and a woman. This also means that the child, as the fruit of love, is also a desired child. We also often talk about family planning and of course also birth planning. The concept of the so-called incomplete single-parent family should be forgotten and the title of incomplete family should be abandoned.

Of course, our understanding of partnerships has also changed, as today, alongside partnerships of different sexes, same-sex partnerships are also included, which are biologically unable to provide their biological or genetically combined offspring of their parents. This gap is supposed to be replaced by modern medicine with artificial insemination. Cloning of an individual human will most likely be permitted in the future of humanity. Of course, we also know today, not only in the history of humanity, the so-called adoption of foreign children.

Life as two adults is still desirable in one form or another, and this form is still supposed to provide a caring, loving and safe family environment for the child.

A different realistic picture of a child in a family, whose birth is supposed to be planned and desired, is shown to us, for example, in the Slovenian area by data on mothers at the time of the birth of a child. In 2023, as many as 56.5% of children were born to unmarried mothers. It is also important to note that in Slovenia a woman makes decisions about her own body and is entitled to terminate an unwanted pregnancy or have an abortion at the expense of state health insurance.

An unmarried mother is not stigmatized or stigmatized these days, and the father of an illegitimate child is certainly not stigmatized or stigmatized either. Thus, in our daily lives today, the number of single mothers or so-called single mothers exceeds the number of married mothers, despite the still-existing ideal-type family model. Explanations for such a state of the family child's environment are various and range from the exploitation of state and social protection for single mothers and through homosexuality to irresponsible fatherhood. However, we can certainly conclude that the so-called ideal type or morally correct type of family according to which we first get married and then conceive or have a child, mostly does not function in practice in real life.
