Being a mother of one is HARD so for all of the aforementioned reasons and reasons not mentioned yet, I chose to have "one and done".
Had I not been so young, I would not have had children at all. I knew from a young age that I loved children but did not want to be a mother. I hate obligation and restriction so I have no idea how I hold down a job, marriage or anything else..lol
Luckily, I have a teenager who loves me more than anything (apart from science - I guess that may be hereditary) but, even knowing how WELL things can turn out, I still wouldn't have another child.
I guess single child mom's are not in line with this post but I thought I'd contribute because I feel like I don't really have a child anymore apart from Teddy, the cat and my husband. |
