I Want to Be a Mom Someday

I can't wait to grow up, get married and have kids... Probably 2 or more... I want to be a great mum who understands my kids and share their viewpoints (or at least try to). I want to be as supportive as I possibly can and help them make their dreams into reality to the best of my ability. I want to be the role model in their life, their superwoman who protects them and whom they can seek comfort in. I want to do things and provide them with things I did not get/could not afford to when I was a child; I want to ensure my kids don't go through my sufferings that I did... I don't want to repeat my parent's mistakes, and hopefully I will learn from them and find alternative solutions. I want my kids to know that results do not define who you are, their dreams and future goals should not be influenced by societal standards and stereotypes, and they should be proud and confident of who they are. I want to raise my kids to be a polite, helpful, caring and considerate young independent. :)

It sounds as if you would make a great mom with these aspirations for your future. Please don't forget that the man you will share your life with will be your partner and he must agree with your plan for the partnership to work. I hope you can stick to these dreams of being a model mother.
You still have some time to work on it so please don't be in too much of a hurry. I was married for several years and always wanted kids and had a good idea of the kind of dad I wanted to be. It sounded exactly what you wanted out of parenthood.
But it wasn't to be. We never found out if it was me, her or both of us who were incapable of having kids. So, we just took care of other people's kids and had a great influence on many of them.
She divorced me in 2011 and I have been very lonesome ever since. I do have supportive friends and am glad for that.
Until the day you become a great mommy, just do your "homework" on the family and learn not so much from books, but by talking to friends and family about marriage and the family and closely observe both negative and positive things that you want to copy or avoid in your own family.
Good luck to you, dear and remember, take your time and make decisions oh so carefully and you won't go wrong. If you do make a wrong decision, then just take the consequences for it and, more importantly, LEARN from them and take mental note to not repeat them. You will be better for it!
