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! |
I have to say I agree with you. Some people just shouldn't have kids. It is such a huge responsibility. Being a mom, you're raising adults who you are releasing intoo the world. I truly admire strong GOOD mothers. You sound like you are one of those.

It appalls me to see very young girls having baby after baby, (the first may be an accident..the second and third, hmmmm). The young women on here that choose to not have children yet or not at all..I applaud you for your maturity. Not everyone is cut out for motherhood, just as not everyone is not cut out to be mommy to a pup! I'm glad that you are not feeling presured into having kids...if you dont want them, you dont want them..Kudos to you! |
thank you
I just found out today that another one of my friends is 3 months pregnant! *eek* whatever water they are drinking, I need to stay away from it! lol
