Too often I see people having kids because they're supposed to, not because they want to. What a sad thing. <BR/><BR/>I also planned out all my kids' names and genders when I was in elementary school, and I had all kinds of ideas about how old I'd be when I had them. Alas, I am now as old as I was supposed to be when birthing my first, and Simon and I have to work out a few things (cohabiting? marriage? Chile?) before we even thinkg of taking that big step. I just wish my hormones would stop raging against logic and let me be happy in my babyless state for a few more years. Instead, it's all I can think about and I grow more frustrated daily.

Until my boyfriend's recent cat adoption, I had never had a living, breathing being other than myself in my apartment. <BR/><BR/>I realized long ago that babies are not for me. Neither is pregnancy, by the way. If I should ever decide to take care of a kid they will be adopted and at least 5 years old.

But I don't have to teach them moral values and I don't have to send them to college.<BR/><BR/>I like to THINK that the instinct would kick in after having a kid, but I'm terrified that it wouldn't. And what if I want to go out of town, otr something. Then I'd have to take Little-B on a plane and annoy everyone around me.<BR/><BR/>My Mom always says "it totally shows up and takes over". I always interpreted this to be referring to children, but I think she really means the instinct.<BR/><BR/>No rush. Really.

I agree with asa. I think the reason you can't picture being a mom is because you're imagining doing it all wrong! You're only taking into account the process and not the product. Just like in your other blog when you had the mental script of how you and ol' what's-his-face would have "the talk", you have a romanticized view of child-rearing and motherhood that clearly doesn't mesh with your personality so you feel you're not maternal. I blame society for instilling this standard mommy image that girls as young as 2 can't wait to fulfill. But, as naive-no-more said, it'll happen! Just relax! There's a reason you're not a mother yet, and you've got about another 15 years to get there (though you might not wanna push it to the 15th year!). <BR/><BR/>BTW, you will NOT be babysitting for my children, if ever I have any.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18875045.post-1147880138876944392006-05-17T10:35:00.000-05:002006-05-17T10:35:00.000-05:00Let's make a deal...If you get Jay-Z, I'll be sure...Let's make a deal...<BR/><BR/>If you get Jay-Z, I'll be sure to console Beyonce on her loss.

In the fancy part of Stockholm the average age for first time mothers is 38. AVERAGE! You have time :-) And I'm of the romantic notion that children aren’t an end in itself. It's the product of the love between two people. Maybe that helps you relax a bit? Don’t prepare for being a parent now. When you become a parent: it will work out anyway. I’m sure!Åsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499955506439869169noreply@blogger.com
