I loved having children, I really felt like I had something to offer them. I applaud those of you who aren’t pressured by society to have kids; my own mother had children and made it very clear she didn’t want them. Some people just aren’t meant to be mothers, and there’s nothing wrong with that, if they don’t have children, but once you do, I believe you should study everything you can on how to raise them and make them into the unique beings that they were meant to be. It is a lot of self-sacrificing and work. It’s not like a relationship where it’s equal and your partner does part of the work, it’s all one sided, and you are the one responsible and at fault if things go wrong. Children are never to blame; you just aren’t doing it right. Now that my babies are grown, I have relationships with two wonderful men that have chosen two beautiful women to share their lives, so now besides my two sons; I have two lovely women in my life. I feel very blessed, but I’ve got to say, it didn’t come easily or naturally, I had to read about it! I really do think owning a Yorkie can help prepare you a little for children, they have a mind of their own! |
