My Reflections

Would I be a good caregiver? I am.

PROMPT November 13th

A Science-Fiction type prompt tonight. In your world, all citizens are temporarily neutered at birth. When you want to become a parent, you must prove to the government that you’ll be suitable caretakers and providers before you are allowed to procreate. How do you 'prove to the government' that you'll be a good caretaker/parent.

For one, you can get a pet and take good care of it for a while. If you have given any care to anyone, then you can use that as evidence.

Personally, caregiving comes naturally to me. I helped take care of my grandma and an aunt when in my teens and early twenties. I took care of my best friend’s mom when she had cancer. I now am caring for my best friend and elderly neighbor. I cared for my parents as I could too. And there have been others. Helping others comes very naturally for me. If anything, I could be accused of caring too much. I poor myself out for God and others every single day.
