become a mother

I gave up, dont want to anymore. Have friend with hooligan teenagers, made me think different about the whole kiddy thing. and a friend with a baby which is now her entire life… also not my thing.

sorry… hope that all others will continue to be willingly mothers.

I have mixed feelings on becoming a mother. I’ve always kinda been on the fence about having kids. Obviously when I put this on my list I was on the pro side.

I’m not sure I want to have children because a) this world is scary enough without fending for children b) over population, if I were to have kids it would be 1, 2 max c) it’s expensive! think about how much earlier I could retire.

All those reasons are fine a good but the real reason I’m unsure about having kids is bipolar disorder (AKA manic-depressive). This serious mental illness runs in my family and is hereditary (usually through women). I am lucky and don’t have it, but my sister does (severely). I’ve watched first-hand, her struggles with the illness and the pain that my parents (who are not bi-polar but obviously carry it) went through trying to help her. I also have several aunts who have the disease, one of which committed suicide due to it. It is terrifying to think that I could pass this on to a daughter myself since I am likely a carrier. The genetic roots of bipolar are not known and there is no way to screen for it currently. Additionally, the disease onsets with major hormonal changes. Usually puberty, but can also onset with pregnancy. This means that although I made it through puberty without bipolar, if I became pregnant it could manifest.

I have forever been torn about the idea of young mothers. Are they throwing away the possibility of further education to pop out children or are they sacrificing part of themselves to better the world with the addition of each child. One day i will make my own conclusion. One day i will become a mother.

I always knew growing up that I wanted to be a mother some day. I just didn’t realize how soon I would accomplish it. At the young age of 18, I became pregnant after only knowing the father a couple short weeks. My AshLee Kaye was born on April 5, 1993 to be followed by Erika Hope on October 15, 2002 and finally Mia Azul on October 27, 2007. They are the most beautiful pieces of my life.

I already cross stictch, knit and crochet, but now I got me a sewing machine and before this year’s end, I hope to know how to sew pretty well, if not great;.

As my age nears around 40ish, and have not yet taken the time to have a child of my own, the biological clock has began ticking so loudly that it seems now days having a child is one of the main things on my mind. Funny how for all these years up to nearly a year or two ago, having a child was one of the furthest things from my mind

i want to become a mother because it looks like fun and hard work

This is a later in life goal, say maybe 4 years.I am enjoying being a wife now

I did that 17 years ago…

It’s late at night here in Dallas right now. I have alot I could do I guess, like read books and watch TV and, I dunno…Maybe even do something produtive! But never the less, here I am…Adding to my list of 43 as I think of things I want to do with my life. So of course, becoing a mother is on the list. Of course I think it’s on most women’s lists. I know that one day I will become a mother…Of course I have no idea if this day is coming soon or otherwise. I sure do wish it would be soon. God knows that if I had the money right now…And if I didn’t think that all children needed their father’s, I’d find some poor, honry sucker, sleep with him right now, and get pregnant with his child. (Or children.)
