[quote=Anonymous]It's not that uncommon to feel this way. If the norm was to not have kids and having kids was like, "being a doctor" or similar, I think far fewer people would have them. The societal pressure is HUGE. Expectations of motherly perfection are sky high and it's like an unrelenting competition. It's very unhealthy for women. I'm generally happy with being a mom but I am also 100% sure if it wasn't like the pinnacle of finally being "successful" I would have been very happy without. [/quote]
