I feel uneasy that my mom told me that I should have kids while I’m young.
I never viewed myself as a person that people even seen as mother potential, and I’m rather offended that she even thought I would reproduce.
I’ve always viewed motherhood as something that is beneath me, that would ruin my life. I’m NOT saying anything negative towards mothers, the good ones are very important to society. I, on the other hand, am not willing to be a standard “good mother”, it’s not who I am. I guess I am rather disappointed that my mother doesn’t see me the same way.
Other women need to consider the age they are going to have kids. This is not my life, therefore not my concern.
My mom did this same guilt trip on me. I think mothers do it to have something to talk about when all their friends are yaking about their grandchildren. Funny thing is that she quit bugging me as soon as one of my brothers announced that his wife was expecting.
FWIW: I didn't have my first till I was well into my thirties. In retrospect, I think it was the right age for me.
