@ninainwales: My hot take on the motherhood subject, mentality plays a massive part! This is the MOST challenging thing I’ve ever done and Sofia is an easy baby however from being child free I knew all the pros and cons to having children I didn’t go into motherhood blind, I knew full well my life would never be the same again and I think that’s helped me “thrive” in the motherhood so far I’m not expecting things that I know won’t happen. #fyp #motherhood #newmum
I accepted kids would be extremely disruptive to my life and my expectations were so low I actually ended up finding the adjustment relatively easy.

As someone who doesn’t know if they want kids, this is a really good take!

Every time I think of kids, I don’t think of babies, I think of them a young adults having to grow up and function in this society that is changing for the worse.

lot less likely to resent your kids when you actively decided to make the necessary sacrifices rather than feeling like things were robbed from you!

People want babies, they don’t want the 7 year old. Ive been the same as you and now at nearly 32 I’ve learnt over the years how to understand the young children around me, thus believe I am ready for the baby.

Agreed! It looks like everyone also just assumes the child will be healthy. What if that is not the case? Or they will get sick later on? You have to be prepared for that

As much as I hate to admit it, the problem wasn't just my daughter. I was the one getting things wrong too, and thankfully I realized it before it was too late. I read Evelia Hayes, and it completely changed the way I see things as a mother. My daughter actually comes to me and talks to me about things now.

"The Peace You Keep Giving Away" by C. Morgan is about something a lot of women deal with. Always being understanding, always saying yes, and somehow feeling bad when they finally choose themselves.

It’s shocking to me that it’s not common sense to understand and consider everything you’re talking about before bringing a new human into the world

As someone who is constantly thinking about whether I should have children or not, I promise you I’ve thought about the child’s welfare and future more than most parents have before they had kids.

I always wanted kids my whole life, until like a few weeks ago tbh. Because I realized that I have been controlled by my mother my whole adult life against my will, so now that I’ve realized that and I’m finally breaking away from her, why would I willingly let someone else control my life when I just got it back? This goes for marriage too, I never want anyone or anything else to influence my decisions, because I feel like I just recently gained the ability to do so for myself

You’ve articulated this so well, this is exactly how I feel! Having a baby was a massive decision for us and I was prepared for that going into it✨

If you spoke to me last year I would have told you I’m child free. But I had an epiphany in therapy that the reason I didn’t want kids is because I was worried I would be an emotionally volatile mum like my mum was. But I realised that 1. I’ve worked on myself and 2. My husband isnt useless

You’re so spot on! I’m very career focused, that’s why I’m not having them right now, and people always say “your career will be there after kids” and I’m like NO it won’t actually, there’s no guarantee of it, and it certainly wouldn’t be the same. It shocks me that people are so pushy for me to just give up my life as I know it and the career I’ve worked hard for without thinking ahead

When people ask “have you even thought about it?” And I say “I’ve thought about it more than possibly anyone has ever thought about it”

I’m 27 and I know that both paths lead to significant joy but a deep sense of loss. I’m not sure which ones I’m willing to sacrifice.
