I assume it has to do with your thyroid gland.  I'm sure your parents are relived not to be changing your diapers for the rest of your life.

sounds like you want it more then your kid,which is not a good sign because it adds to the pressure to succeed.\n\nYOU ARE DESPRATE SO GIVE UP

If you do not want to stay at your current employer for the rest of your life...what are you waiting for? If you are raising a child, you'll need the extra money(believe me!). Nothing in life is a sure thing...let's face it, we would be bored if it was. Take a chance. Life is for the living. What you really have to ask yourself is do you want to live life or simply exist! Good luck with your decision and your family.

wow.  I can't believe you would separate yourself from your kid.  I want to be around my kids all the time.  Sounds like you are being selfish.  You must see your kids as being too much work, so you send them off half way around the world.  Maybe you shouldn't breed anymore.  Save the little love you have left for the 18 month old.

It probably depends on you, where you are at emotionally, and what your economic needs are. You want to stay with kids if you have any and be the perfect mom. the kind you heard about in those stories, or dream ed of being. You also want to be part of the successful storybook families that magically balance career and family life perfectly and have the life style all us others dream of. aether way you are going to have times you wish you chose the other way.  It will always be depending on whats going on in life at the moment.

When my kids were born!  Having children completely changes your life, it also inspired me to be a better person, because now I am not only responsible for myself, but for two precious lives.

I would like a stable life but I have a family that's way too dysfunctional for that. My life is rather exciting, full of huge ups and downs. Its not ideal but its what I have so I've learned to deal with it. Drama stalks me. I think its because I attract crazy people, haha.

I, like most, have a few regrets about decisions that I made in the past but when it comes down to it I wouldn't be the same person had I not made some of those choices.\n\nI think one of the best steps, if you'll call it that, is actually staying home to raise my children.  My professional career and my education is important to me, but those things will still be available to me after my kids are in school.  I think too often parents are concerned about their own careers, ect that they miss the important things by not staying home with their children

Because they love their child. And they want to give it better future and life better than they lived. Thats it. You will also do same with your child.

compromise, do the career first. because it is definately harder when you have kids. personal experience. i don't get to spend much time with mine and it makes me feel guilty. but if i didn't work and do my career, i feel like i haven't fulfilled my destiny. i went at this backwards and now im paying for it. if i could i would do the job first that way i wouldn't regret it later. then you would have all the time in the world to be a mom.

when i was little i always wanted to move to LA and be on the S.W.A.T. team, until my mother flushed my dream down the toilet by telling me that christians don't do that kinda stuff, and i believed her lol. I'm older now and have learned that she was just naive about things and wanted to keep her baby close to her. Maybe someday soon i will go for it.

I think those expectations are completely rediculous.  We are brainwashed as children to want that perfect family with the perfect life and I know for me I was having a lot of trouble coping with the fact that I won't have that family the US wants me to have.  I have thankfully moved on and realized the fairytale life for me would be what I want the most... A husbear later in life, a nice career, and the ability to live happy.

Yes - and unlike many others, I wouldn't change things, or be born with all the knowledge I have already.  May be boring, but life is about learning, and we learn my making mistakes.  Take my 1 year old twins for example.  They are learning to stand on their own.  Should I hold them constantly, always afraid their hurt their tush if they fall?  Nope, they would never learn to stand on their own if I did that.  Yes, they fall and hurt themselves (or their pride) and cry, but then they get cuddled and praised for their efforts and they try again.  Same with life.  Gotta take the good with the bad, gotta learn all you can, even if that means learning from your mistakes and passing on your knowledge to the next generation.  Life is what you make of it, not what's handed to you.

I think the ability to be either are put into all of us at birth. My mom works in a hospital and I hear all the time about these miracle babies in the Intensive Care Nursery. The doctors and parents always say "They are really fighting". I believe that you are either born with that or you are not. Also the environment you are raised in can either nurture that or ruin it.

Depends. I am glad to have been born (unless I was in a better place like Heaven before) but I would like to have made some changes. For one thing, I would have rather been born in a different area and I could do without the allergies and depression. Other than that, I'm okay.

It's a really good thing that you are conscious of  why you feel that and even better is that you have the will change it. Everything that I could say is theoretically because only you will be who will have to be brave to take the next step. \nYou have to realize that past it's past, we can't live there, there are more because there is always tomorrow.\nYou have to think about what are your motivations, think that it's never late to get your dreams or to make things better for you and your beautiful children.\nAnd one more important thing, there is no reason to believe that you can't be happy, Why not? happiness is there, get it! \nyou're special cause you are a survivor of your tragedies now it's time to be happy and give the best of you to your children.\nGood luck, God bless you.
