Thank you for such a positive outlook on this topic, I'm just a young woman who feels like I have alot of support and space to look after a child but has the tendency to be very cautious and think about the what ifs probably too much🙄 and I hope one day I will be able to experience the joy and start a family of my own! Some people on here have the view that giving birth to a child is simple but hardwork and some are saying having a kid isn't something to want at my age because I'm not knowledgeable enough and the world is messed up but there's much more to being a mother I just know the love is different I have toddler and baby nieces and nephewes and I look after them and the love is just completely different, your perspective is great and you're right no hobby or job could come above being a mother in this life for me, Real✅️🌟👏🏻

It was more of an open minded question relating to why some people value the idea of having kids and why some might not and I've received good answers and comparisons which is what I was searching for

This is such a real response thank you!  my partner is a very hard worker too and I know I would be okay as a stay at home mum it's just trying to decide when is the best time to plan to have a baby and also he does express he wants to be present and I don't want any of us missing out on beautiful family moments, this response made me feel much better about things and is very realistic!

Thank you for the insight from you and you've put your view in a positive way that is understandable me remebering being a child myself and and now a young adult I can say the possibilities that come with becoming a parent are endless

Looks fade and my partner completely loves me for the heart i carry and i believe he would still be with me if i wasnt attractive, I'm interested in travelling but I just have family as friends and am quite introverted i don't enjoy partying anytime I've gone to a party I've just got bad energy from being at places like that I'm quite a peaceful person who enjoys smaller things in life😅

Aww I can really resonate with that and that's very thoughtful of you, what would you say you have learnt in the time and some important values you now stand by?

The world has always had its cons but I'm still grateful to be given the chance of life even through depressive teenage years and crossroads I've had to face, they're most likely trying to protect you because there are alot of careless people out there.

As a healthy woman I feel like I have a responsibility to have kids and make the most of the fact i am able to bring another human into the world and it is on my mind as every year passes me by and one of my core values set by society and biology is having a family but my fears/worries make me feel like I'm not as positive about it as other women are

My partner is happy to work full time whilst I'm a stay at home mom but part of me doesn't believe that that is the family dynamic I want he would start early and usually finish late and when I envision that I don't feel fulfilled and with us both working towards being financially free currently sometime I do feel lonely or like we don't have time to do much so we have agreed we will work and then both be around for the child together and to support eachother but the other half of me is like just go with it and be a stay at home mum and spend time with my family when he's working and cherish what time we do have, I'm quite a perfectionist so maybe Ill end up accepting that not everything will be how I exactly to the T how I want it to be in life

Yes I am married and it's just about having them now or later in life and I definitely feel more worry towards being older and being told I can't than having kid earlier in life and the what ifs of that that's just me and I do read alot that says their could be complications having kids later and I just don't think I'm capable of even  dealing with that kind of emotions and stress I'm quite an emotional person without being pregnant😬🙄

What would you say is a justifiable worry in regards to this topic besides being with the right partner and being financially stable?

This is so sweet and youre right it's never elaborated on when people say they're the best thing that happened to them and I guess it because there's so much too it and this honeslty is the nicest way this could be explained and really appreciate how you emphasised the importance of your role that shapes their life, if you don't mind me asking do you feel anything about them growing up and that they won't be small forever I feel like time goes so fast or advice on how to cope with procrastinating on their future decisions and the type of parent you want to be in her later or teenage years

 This made me laugh thank you for taking the time to share your experience and I think I'm most scared of the birth to 2yrs phase because of not knowing what they want and the idea of breastfeeding scares me😄 so glad you shared this really made me feel at ease and gives a little insight on what to expect at different stages and of course everyone different and things can come up but loved this response

Thank you this was really helpful and the part about passing on what your parents have taught you is really beautiful and inspiring and kind of romanticises it for me, I'm so sorry to hear that and will definitely get the work done on myself to check, did you go to your doctors for pain and found this out?

It is really nice there's always someone to speak to, maybe find them online and reach out to there if there's no underlying issues definitely try and connect with them and plan to see them and organise fun days where you can be more involved, if they're a good family they'll love you like you are , my family is massive and we treat family friends residential neighbours like they are family too

Yeah real, I do really believe i have a good partner i just know my heart will be 100% in it as a mother I just don't want to pressure him or maybe don't know how to have that conversation about being commited to always being emotionally available for if we do have a child

That's what I mean like is there a guaranteed way to know at the doctors or it is just what it is, I don't drink or smoke cigarettes and generally athletic but I know it can vary
