we need to teach women that it’s ok for them not to become mothers because if i see any more bad moms movies coming out and keep seeing sitcoms about moms who hate their children and hate being moms i’m gonna scream like its not ok to bring a child into this world just to turn them into a traumatized adult, being a mother is about putting all your time and energy into a growing and vulnerable human being and if you’re not ready to do that, don’t become a mom.. you can lead a perfectly happy and fulfilling life without having a child just to traumatize them and make both you and your children’s lives miserable

to add to this, you really shouldn’t have children at all unless you really, really want to. Like I’d say you shouldn’t even do it if you just feel neutral about the idea–you need to really love the idea of having a child, and you need to respect that hypothetical child as a separate person, not a small version of yourself.
