I know personally, I had a lot of thoughts about motherhood and being a parent that simply crumbled in real life. It turns out parenthood is much harder than anyone could ever expect. And You only find out once you are there. I think many of us are led into parenthood by false perceptions. Children do not fix a marriage. In fact, If your marriage is already on the rocks, having a child will only exacerbate your current issues. Our hormones also play a massive role. I remember the ache to become a mother was enormous for me. I know I am blessed. I love my children greatly. I just wish I'd known better and had better role models growing up. Thank you for the lovely and thought-provoking post <3
