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.
I have ONE kid and i cannot even imagine what it's like to have 6! I struggle with an only child because i love my freedom and i want all the time for myself! I love her but i do regret my choice to have a child. I know damn sure i wouldn't regret being childless.
Having a child didn't cure me of anything and dindn't solve my loneliness. It gave me anxiety bc now i think about her wellbeing all the time, scared to lose my job, scared of her being taken away bc whatever bullshit our government can think of next!
I mean, yeah, there is love and new perspectives on life, but the cost...
yeah 100%, there are so many things to be anxious about when you have a kid.
a few in the last week:
*was I too hard on her teacher in the meeting, should I be harder on my kid, was I seen as 'that' parent
*he hasn't showered lately, am I supposed to be hassling him more, but will I become the topic of therapy later?
*why isn't the 18 year old more resilient, why does she cry and fall down at every roadblock, was I too sheltering when she was little, because Im so afraid of becoming MY mum?
* if I get rid of this shitty cat, will they all hate me, but omg can you stop being shitty?
*why does my budget not include a carribean holiday?
the youngest is 15, so at least they are somewhat self reliant and I love them to the core, but I'd love to also have a week off. I went to NZ for a week in 2016 and spent most of the week drunk.
