Well, I can tell you from experience that motherhood is NOT all that it's cracked up to be.

I was very young and foolish when I got married at the age of 20. I saw all my friends getting married and having babies. I at one point decided to live with my "then" boyfriend. My father, being the very strict, conservative type said, "No daughter of mine is going to live in sin!!" So, I got married. What does my father do??? Six months into a relationship, he moves in with HIS girlfriend!!!

"Oh that's so SELFISH", "Who will take care of you when you're old?"
That is THE dumbest remark I have EVER heard!!

Anyway, getting off the tracker here...I had Amy when I was 23. At the time I thought I was in heaven. Years later, I admitted to myself AND my best friend, that I didn't think I was mother material. I mean, I ADORE my daughter, don't get me wrong, but if I had to do it over again, I probably would've passed on motherhood. Of course, hindsight has 20/20 vision.

Been there, done that...didn't WANT the tee-shirt!!

To this day, I get SO annoyed when I hear crying, whiny, unruly kids at the store. I just have no patience for it!

BTW Kimmy, I DO respect your feelings and opinions. It takes a very special kind of person to be a parent. I guess I just don't happen to be one of them,
