Oh yes how much I do! In my early teens I prayed to be normal and get my menstruation so that I can have a child one day o.o life priorities...

I find it incredibly beautiful that I'm able to give birth to a new life. I want to share all I know to my kid, give all the love I've absorbed. Certainly you don't have to give birth in order to do that, I'd adopt a child, work with children... but I still find the birth process magical.

Kids kind of freak me out. Idk how to react to kids. Like I work laying tile and see many people with small children. It's not that I don't like them, it's more I can't relate. They say somthing cute of show me a toy and it's like "Uh, that's nice. Cool toy kid". Then they keep taking and I have no clue what they said and it's like "Hmm... Thats nice. Good talk." It's like they kind of creep me out.

My Sag boss however is great with kids. He know how to speak to them and make them laugh. They almost always like him. They tend to like me also, but I like I said I have no clue wtf to do or say. Just like my damn father lol.

I feel like I am meant to be a mom....I'm just...motherly.

I am definitely not ready right now though. I can't even eat dinner with friends with kids without feeling like thank god I don't have one of those to wake up to everyday....some people really raise little monsters.

But I know it will be different when it's my own kids.
I can relate

You're also cancer rising correct?

Always have been. I'm the big sis... A role I took very seriously as a kid haha. so maybe that

Funny I came across this today.

While in surgery we were all talking about child birth. Everyone has kids except myself.

Everyone points at me and snickers in a playful way. I think everyone understands where I am in life and has felt it too.


I've given up on finding the right man, the right situation, the right time.. Instead- I have been betting on me.

And I know kids will happen whether adopted or otherwise but for a while, I haven't felt empty when alone. I am getting ready to make that step towards children. It's just in the cards and when they're dealt I'll be ready.

🙂


Do you have kids OP?
No, I don't and probably will never.

For me, it's not a matter of giving up my freedom, it's more about what I would be bringing someone into, and when I look closer, I cannot justify it. Life is long, and most people struggle. Even if they were really lucky and had money for education, found a great paying job, a loving partner, etc., they would still die in the end. There are also so many unfair and unjust things.

- world is already overpopulated so there is major competition for resources
- economies aren't very healthy so there isn't a lot of job stability
- disease, mental illness, murder, etc.
- superficiality
- the good guys don't always win in real life
- dog eat dog world

Too many to list..sorry if this is depressing. I have a lot of respect for parents who try to raise another person to be good in a world that's gray.
