SHOULD YOU HAVE KIDS? WHAT A FULFILLING LIFE REALLY MEANS
You’re always a parent but the journey is never the same
There’s no sugarcoating that being a parent is hard work but it’s not complicated. You keep them alive, love them and show them how to be a decent human being, with the best intentions that you got through to them by the time they turn 18.
Ultimately, my role as a mother is permanent but my experiences are temporary and constantly changing. One moment it’s all about getting them to eat broccoli; then the next moment, you’re cleaning puke off the floor.
Everything you worried about months ago doesn’t matter because something new always comes up.
Your resilience is tested time and time again as you continue to care for this little person who will need you less and less.
A fulfilling life needs to include service to others and resilience building
