Disclaimer: This blog is not to offend any mothers and/or married people. This is simply my view on things & possible guidance to my decision.
I'll be writing about parenthood, dating in this crazy generation and love.
I have been on & off dating sites for 2 years now. A few of my friends and cousins recommended them & well, after a while it seemed everyone was on them. I went from POF (Plenty of Fish) to OkCupid to Tinder & boy was that a roller coaster. Even though I had come across some bad apples, I cannot deny that I didn't learn a lot about myself; What I like & don't like in a man. After being in a relationship for almost 8 years you can imagine I had no idea how to navigate this new chapter in my life. I felt lost. An idea was planted after all the disaster expierences I had. This idea. Since I could remember I've always been the stubborn girl who made the decision long ago that I didn't think marriage was necessary & that having kids of my own one day was out of the question. I am 26 years old & plenty of people think I am wrong for making that decision. The older I get, the more annoying the questions get & I am pretty sure I am not the only one who feels this way. So my idea is to get the opinions of other women, maybe even men. Those independent women who made the decision to not be a mother & are older now. The women that are terrified of being a mother. The women that once thought like me & are mothers now. The list goes on. I want to hear what you think. I know men get this pressure as well so let's hear it all!
Questions:
-Do you feel pressured to have children in the future?
-What made you come to the conclusion of having or not having kids of your own?
-Older crowd! Do you regret having children or not having them? Are you happy?
It's a wise woman who thoughtfully and courageously decides the course for her life.
