I Am as Free as You Are

'I don't want kids. I want my freedom. '

'No I don't have kids, I have a life!'

Which means, as a mother of four, I have no freedom and no life.

Mkkay....

I had the freedom to choose to get pregnant.

I have the freedom to love and raise four little precious lives.

I have a life that is made even more full by those sticky little people.

I get more kisses than most people.

I am never bored.

I laugh more now than I ever have, and I laughed a lot before I had kids.

The list of good goes on...

A lot of women that I hold very dear have said these hurtful things in front of me....a lot. I just wanted to have an outlet for my feelings, instead of saying something snarky at that moment.....which is what I want to do.
