I know y...Sorry, but I have to agree with you too. <br />I know young moms who say they are glad for someone doing their shopping that they can just look after their baby's. <br />I think I would be glad for someone looking after the baby's while I do my shopping on my own. Ha!<br /><br />I never wanted kids, now I think I want kids. But I am no sure if I will h e more then one. I guess that depends in the first pregnancy, birth and the first year with child No. 1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-83065570871986205282012-01-24T19:49:36.447-05:002012-01-24T19:49:36.447-05:00I do not have kids, but I can see myself going thr...I do not have kids, but I can see myself going through this in the event I were to have a kid. I want to have a kid because as the others have undoubtedly mention, it is the best thing that can happen in a woman's life. As a result, part of me wants to experience that...however, aside from that...I definitely would not be able to wait until that child reached adulthood...I see myself wanting to instill an insane drive for independence...this kind of thinking have left me on the fence about wanting kids but with no one to talk to about these feelings...I am left looking like the weirdo among my friends for not having started already. I am in my mid to late 20's and they already have at least 1...thanks for this post...this might be the only time I can voice these thoughts...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-34502873917643592542012-01-24T12:41:55.951-05:002012-01-24T12:41:55.951-05:00The ONLY reason I have two kids is that I am a sib...The ONLY reason I have two kids is that I am a sibling and it broke my heart to deprive my son of his built in, life long best friend (or frenemy, I suppose). I look at folks with 3 kids and do not understand what they were thinking? I love my boys...they are without a DOUBT the best thing that ever happened to me....my life is so much better because they are in it. But now that I am passed the baby stage, out of diapers and past potty training.....there is no way I would go back. I cannot stand being needed that much. Constant neediness. Cannot even go to the bathroom alone (during those dark days of babyhood once of the bright spots of being at work, droopy eyed, was that I could excuse myself to go to the bathroom without someone clinging to my leg on the way there!) Even now, my goal is to make my boys as self-sufficient as possible as soon as possible. Is 6 years old too young to do your own laundry? I look forward to many wonderful years of just living life with my boys, cheering them on at sporting events, participating in sports WITH them (for a few more years anyway), sharing inside jokes, cheering them up when the tears come. That is the "being a Mom" part I relish. But the actual administrative duties and "taking care of" part (that quite honestly many women sub-contract out to a nanny)? Yeah, I can definitely do without that!sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231053994527943918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-89353302386760125172012-01-21T16:44:05.278-05:002012-01-21T16:44:05.278-05:00totally with you on this one, and you said it perf...totally with you on this one, and you said it perfectly. While I LOVE my son, I don't actually care for being his mother. I tolerate it. But if I had known before I had kids, what it would ACTUALLY be like... I wouldn't have done it. Which to many mothers/people, may sound calous, but it's not. I adore my child, and couldn't imagine life without him...but I don't particularly like motherhood... so yup, one and done!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02997569000226990746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-21998143385735525622012-01-18T14:13:28.190-05:002012-01-18T14:13:28.190-05:00I think there's another post brewing in here, ...I think there's another post brewing in here, because you've hit on a point I'm guessing many women feel, but are afraid to discuss. You're not the only person I *know* who defines her love for motherhood the way you do. I think it's totally normal to think shit smells like, well, shit. So, while some moms may think their baby's poo don't smell, that's not the case for everyone. =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-87232603030003012472012-01-18T14:04:31.438-05:002012-01-18T14:04:31.438-05:00Amen, sister.Amen, sister.Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739630117979372706noreply@blogger.com
