RE: Why Kids...?

in #life6 years ago

What a pleasure it is to read you again @rok-sivante! I missed your texts and your sincere way of writing. I don't have children. I am a woman without children. On one side of the road, I also decided not to have them. Maybe it was selfish of me to make that decision, but I don't regret it. Perhaps among the things that made me decide not to be a mother were also fears. In much the same way as yours: fear of not being good enough to educate them, of seeing them sick, of losing an important part of my freedom because I would stop being one person and become two. But especially because I didn't see in me that genuine feeling that parents must feel when they imagine giving life to another being. I don't deny that many times, due to the social pressures that still exist, I felt tempted to be a mother, but I immediately rejected the idea when I realized that everything was responsible for the environment, not for what was inside me. I respect and value being a mom very much and I know it's a job that requires 24-hour attention, which is a role that after you've acquired, you can't give up; and that as someone's parent, every step you take must be a function of the future you want for the other person. Maybe I am missing one of the best things in life, but just as to be a doctor or a teacher you need a vocation, to be a father too. And I don't have that vocation. Thank you always for giving me the opportunity to express myself. I embrace you.

Have you ever had regrets over that decision, or are perfectly content with the path you chose not to...?

I've never regretted it.
