some women are born to be mothers. Some are born to be the cool aunt. Some are born to stay as far away from children as possible. It's fucking critical that you discover which one you are before it's too late. Big fat kudos to you for the self awareness many lack.
I love being a mother so much.
I love this for you, but knew it was never in my future. I told my mother when I was 17 that I was never having kids, she looked me dead in the eyes and said "good".
That's an excellent way to phrase it, thank you!
Aye. I began saying at 8 that I didnโt want kids and life has confirmed it was a good choice.
I am pursuing my childhood dream of being a cat lady.
