And I'm not d...Guilty, I've said that line. And I'm not dumb enough to honestly think it's "in the water." I clearly know where babies come from.<br /><br />However, I think in this day and age too many women aspire to be nothing but moms. They place all of their eggs in one basket and if (heaven forbid) their marriage doesn't work out, they are left with nothing to fall back on aside from alimony and/or child support. A girlfriend of mine just had a baby and I am so proud for her because she seems to have her life in order. She's got an awesome loving husband with a steady job. She also has an awesome family structure, including her extended family. She's finished school and has a degree to her name.<br /><br />I also think too many women become moms too early in life. They miss out on experiences that are associated with being 20something. Life doesn't slow down until you retire, and even then some retired people I know are busier than people with jobs. Why not wait a couple extra years and enjoy your time?<br /><br />I'm all for babies and all for families and all for women's rights. I'm not a mother, I'm not a wife but I hope one day to be both (even if I do swear I hate children, haha). But just like you dislike people who say "it's in the water," I dislike people who think the only way to have a fulfilling life is to have kids.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655672934839620838noreply@blogger.com
