The problem is that society undervalued and underappreciates moms. Your value in this Era is all about how much money you make. You are valuable whether or not you make money. I'm a sahm and my family cherish me so much, and our community is very appreciative of sahms. It's not an easy job. In fact it's the hardest most self sacrificing one. Your worth is not in some degree or 9 to 5 job. You just need to renew your view on motherhood.

Dont fall for society/family pressure to marry and have children. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT. If you do and feel you made a mistake, too bad, you're in for at least 25 years, you lose so much, it's not worth it. Dont believe the hype.

I'm so happy I don't have kids. Every single person I have ever met that is s parent starts off with "I love them more than anything... BUT" and then go on to talk about how miserable they are..

Glad to hear that it worked out for you Helen. Motherhood is a full-time job with long hours. Take one step at a time you have the whole life to plan and plot this is what I tell myself when trying to get through it. The first year is usually critical. Today my job's great reward was when my 10 months old stood up and smiled confidentaly looking at me and the 2.5 yrs. pretended to share a secret with me and we giggled together.

I am so grateful to be a mother. I'm thankful I have a career where I can contribute to my household. Motherhood adds that delicate balance in my life. It is the greatest challenge and the most rewarding.

Motherhood is perfect for people who never want to eat a whole sandwich by themselves again.

I think she is talking about waking up to your truth of repressing your emotions and shedding your ego. I went through that too in having a child. It teaches you how to live for yourself and know you cannot depend on others for self worth. This is so powerful and beautiful and I so relate 🦋

Ok.. that's it. No second child for me because the bowling ball of Parenthood will strikes again. And I will be the one who feel it.. I'm the one who have to reconnect again and again.. not my husband. And the process is very tiring.
