[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I"m actually more amazed at all the women that let their minds go when they have children -- stop paying attention to the news, stopping learning new things, spend too much time gossipping and don't talk about anything except baby poop.  I wish there was less judgement of people's bodies and more acknowledgement of all the other unhealthy and sad ways we change when we have children -- that are also preventable.

I am so over this. I am a woman who has three children. They aren't the topic of every conversation I have. I have a job and interests and a deeply rewarding (and egalitarian) relationship with my husband. But I have three kids five and under and they are very important to me. And I think about poop a lot because its a daily issue that comes up in my life. I know what's going on in the news, but when people have a child, its a monumental undertaking and change to your life. And if a woman wants to throw themselves into fully experiencing the first few years of their child's life, then they should effing do it.

I have felt this pressure to just, not talk about my kids very much, because people aren't interested. But if someone is interested in me, as a person my actual likes and dislikes and interests, then they should be interested in my kids. Because they ARE the biggest thing in my life right now and that's ok and it doesn't make me a less interesting or unique person. [/quote]
