[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes her essay is very navel gazey and all over the place but par for the course for that type of thing. Normal people don't go around saying stuff like that, lol.[/quote]
Yup I agree, it is par for the course, and I agree. I know a lot of younger moms who started families in their early 20's, and they are mostly totally chill normal people. They are not sitting around drowning in their babies' eyeballs or whatever.[/quote]

[b]She wrote that because she was describing how motherhood was personally fulfilling to her instead of being “the end of your life!!” the way people tend to say. [/b]My main objection to the piece is that she makes motherhood seem too easy, but maybe it is for her - people are different, and yeah possibly having a baby younger makes it easier in some ways. Anyway there are certainly plenty of opinion pieces out there about how motherhood is horrible, so I’m not too bothered by the other viewpoint. [/quote]

Good point. My experience has aligned with hers. I love my kids, loved my pregnancies, I had them in my twenties and have no regrets about that, I still work, we still travel, we still have friends, still have a great sex life, etc. I never thought my life was over after I had kids. It actually felt richer and fuller. I also felt more confident and secure in myself.

The kids are our little buddies now. They ADD to our life and make it more fun. They're our favorite people.[/quote]
