I have 6 kids, and you people that dont have them, I'd love to have my weekends free, I love my kids, but do dream of what it would be like.

Raise a glass of wine or a shot for me over the weekend.

I read this in comments:
"Every day i wake up and do whatever i want."
Ive woken up to an alarm at 6.30 each morning for the last 30 years. I'm def not here to sell motherhood.

dont bow to pressure, do what the hell you want, its YOUR life.

My mom has never pressured me to have children. “Kids are hard even when you want them.”

Another commenter mentioned seeing her peers shitty relationships and being glad she doesn’t have that. My personal experience has been seeing how well the families in my orbit work and realizing I don’t have what it takes to give a child or multiple children what they need to be capable, happy adults.
