I love you. In case I haven't told you lately. lol! This is an AWESOME ulog. You crack me up, my friend.
Common little creatures, you migrate to a place half a world away, how can't you get out of my house the same way you came in?
So much giggles. As for the teen, yep, depression and hormones are not really a great mix. Been there. Glad you tried to help. Hope she comes through it okay.
Regarding kids: if you want to give up your life for years, put yourself and your dreams aside, and focus entirely on family, have kids. If you don't want to feel like you're going crazy every day, don't have kids. If you like your body how it is, don't have kids. Okay, it isn't that simple, but I'm one of those people who will absolutely support the idea that NOT having kids is totally okay. In fact, to all those people who say "You have to have kids," no. F*ck right off. No one has to have kids if they don't want to.
In fact, if you were closer, every time your ovaries tried to convince you that you want to be a mom, I could let you borrow mine. They're amazing and super sweet at times, and I love them so much it scares me, but you know, it doesn't stop hurting once they're out. (They kick me and hit me on a regular basis... they don't mean to, but they do.) The house is constantly a disaster and there's no fighting it. You never get enough rest... And I've never been so fearful and worried until I became a mom... so... consider yourself warned. ;) 💖
Thank you for that hones and warm warning, I will definitely keep it in mind. You are so sweet and your kids are lucky to have you, they made the right decision when they chose you 💚 Thank you for your lovely comment darling, much love 💚💚💚
lol! Thank you. I do love them, a lot... I just think people sugarcoat what it is to be a parent at times, and it would be better to know what you're getting into. But if you really want kids, then have them. The experience of being a mother is humbling and will make a person grow, whether they like it or not. ;)
