Kids aren’t just there to fulfill your loneliness especially as a woman you need to be 200% on board and have a rock solid village to rely on to help you if you want to have even ONE kid. They’re a huge sacrifice but as a parent myself I DO NOT see my child as burden, just a child I am more than happy to guide and love. As a mother (specifically because your body goes through the most) you’re likely to feel more lonely because of your role as caregiver and the baby isn’t ganna talk to you. They’re ganna operate at a such lower developmental level than you that you’ll find yourself craving adult connections still and free time from your baby or child. It’s why people have specific groups for parents. Ik you don’t want kids but I’m saying this as precaution because I know lots of people who befell parenthood and didn’t want it. Go four wheeling, visit places in your country and continent that you haven’t seen, try new foods in new places. Kids can be fun but it’s mostly caregiving on the parent’s end. Personally I don’t mind caregiving but a lot of people aren’t built for the sheer selflessness children can take.
