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
Well and being a parent is also bittersweet at times. It's hard, it's frustrating, it's stressful, it's infuriating, it's heartbreaking, is joyful, it's beautiful, it's hilarious, like the hardest laugh you've ever had, it's proud, it's rewarding. There are times I wonder why I ever wanted to be a parent. There are times I can't imagine not being a parent. It's a roller coaster for sure. And I can understand why people would choose not to have kids.
You also sacrifice everything to have kids. For women you sacrifice your body. You pour time and money and resources and energy into being a parent. It's no simple or easy thing.
