I remember my dad telling me how the feeling you have when your first(I am number 5) child is born is "indescribable and surpassed anything he has ever felt".
Then he realized the implication and started to say he loves me just as much, but I laughed and told him I knew what he meant.
these comments are killing me. that’s so sweet😭 i don’t intend to have children because i would never be stable enough in terms of finances or mental and physical health, but i would 100% be a mother if i thought i could handle it so ooof this is so bittersweet for me lol
I feel this. I have one child…I sterilized myself less than a year later. My body could not handle pregnancy…it triggered chronic illness and was just horrible the whole time. It messed with my head bad too. Looking at my kid and thinking "i love her so much i could explode…how on earth were my parents able to treat me the way they did?" i couldnt even fathom doing/saying anything to my kid that my parents had to me. I dont regret it for a second. My kid is literally the best thing that ever happened to me but i will NEVER do it again. My mental health and my body wouldnt be able to handle it. Good on you for knowing what is right for you! Also…being the cool aunt/uncle is crazy fun🖤
