I’m so very sorry, but that was rude, invalidating and lacking empathy. I’m glad you’re anything like your sister…😖😠

It seems to me that being a mom by choice is a privilege and an honor. It’s anything but a decision to be ashamed of!

I am a firm believer the corporate workforce is not adapted in any way to being parents, at least when it comes to the first 6 years of the kids’ life when the subconscious program is written by the caregivers.

The unfair workforce hourly load started with the humankind exploitative revolutions and has been drastically contributing to raising imbalanced future adults in addition to another extremely important factor: so many parents choose to give birth to kids while they’re anything but ready for this noble mission: still diving into life with their heavy psychological baggage.

Simply put, it was a selfish decision fueled by the unability to resist the social pressure, the need to enjoy the status (some troubled souls use it to hide their true colors) while lacking self-awareness and vehiculating their biases and patterns to their offspring they’re merely able to love conditionally and inconsistently, if they do at all (narcissists, among other dysregulated individuals are unable of love. Their kids are a narcissistic supply).

In summary, I think you should be really proud, my friend! 💙
