The "Having a baby 101"

[annj_g80]

There’s a billion reasons not to have children and only one good reason for: Love. And I’m not talking Hollywood love here but the real deal. The love that makes women lift cars, take bullets, fight evil grown men (plural) single handedly or become supernaturally empathetic when it comes to their kids. The Love with a capital ‘L’ that leaves you

This is an amazing text ... you should get it published in "Eltern" or so.

And it's an interesting theme for me to read about because I am one of these girls who doesn't want children but thought a lot about this decision because I do love children so much.

And in my opinion it's totally egoistic to decide against kids ... I can't see any egoistic in having kids though. They are the greatest "thing" in the world and they are our future. That is the truth and it will remain nothing but the truth.

I look up to every woman who decides to give birth and raise a child because you have to give up so much and life is so different from that moment an. I adore you for this decision I simply couldn't make. Mothers are heroes!!!

And then there are the stories on the news about children dying, parents dying, horrible things happening to people and you think - what if it happens to me? What if I will cause my daughters so much pain by dying way too early?

I can't even begin to think about losing them. It hurts too much.

Oh yeah, and then there's the evening you and hubby go out for the first time in a zillion months and all you do is worrying about the baby, talking about the baby and its accomplishments etc.

Because basically, from the day it is born, it is your life and I somehow have the feeling that this fact will never change...
