'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.
You are the best mom...and you make AWESOME babies! Keep it up, the world needs more Joy babies! People with no kids say those things because although they will never admit it, maybe not even to themselves, they are jealous haters. :)
