The “get married or be a wife” thread made me think…
the same can be said about us women and bearing children. Do we just want to have a baby, or do we want to be a mommy?
One requires tremendous sacrifice and compromise and the other lets us hold to the view that babies should fit into our lives like accessories.
Society is so self absorbed that we are seeing more and more women who just want to get married and have a baby with no thought at all as to how much work and self-sacrifice those two things require!

If they even bother to get married…

OMGosh…kids take more work than anything in the world, it is a labor of love. Even after they are grown and move out you still worry and pray about them. I wouldn’t change it for anything!!!

Why even be married is the mantra some couples even say. Or in some cases, why even be a couple, I can just get artificially inseminated. If that isn’t self-indulgent, then I don’t know what is. But case studies have shown, that the children are the ones who always suffer. And since they have no solid role models, the problem perpetuates itself. And heaven forbid if you speak out about this dilemma, you are called out of touch with modernism. Your opinion has no validity. Families need to be protected. Marriage needs to be protected. Children need to be loved because they are a gift from God, not a personal commodity.

More reasons to pray!
 
when i was pregnant with my daughter i wanted to be a mom.
that was 24 years ago.👍 it is alot of sacrifice, but 1 i was willing to make. glad that i did!👍
 
I was pregnant 30 and 28 years ago…wouldn’t change it for the world!!!

One is out of the house and the other came back after a failed relationship…with a child. We are still married after 32 years of marriage…adn I wouldn’t do it different!

The pain and anguish one feels from the time they are born and even out of house is the same…it is a labour of love!

Right now, I am babysitting 2 one-year olds and one 3-year old! 40 hours a week no less! And, most of the time I love it!

God bless all children and their parents!
