[quote=Anonymous]My partner and I had a million reasons not to have a kid. We considered all the horrible things that could happen. The lack of extended family support. The history of mental illness. The history of abuse in our families. The money worries. But then we went ahead and did it. We had spent so much time worrying about the challenges, and the what ifs... that the absolute joy came as a surprise. Joy like we’ve never known or expected. We’ve had almost everything go wrong since choosing to have a kid- extended job loss, health problems, an autism diagnosis for our toddler... but the joy is still there. We just plow through the problems headfirst because there really is not a choice. And every day we look at her and say to each other, “I just love her so much!” And we do our best. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring. [/quote]
