The article is quite interesting and I recommend reading it!
When someone asked me why the article was so sad I just felt that it needed some exaplaination and I figured I would post it hear on my blog just to remember my thoughts and feelings at the time.
I just think it's sad that society as a whole doesn't see the
joy that comes from having a family and especially kids. I feel that some women
are not having children, when it's such a wonderful blessing and experience,
just to be able to "do their own thing" or they don't want the
responsibility that comes with it... I guess I'm just really blessed to see
strong, independent women who have beautiful families with children and I see
the happiness their children bring them. I just feel sad for those women who
give all that up for something they think is better. They'll never know the
selfless joy that comes from having another human be completely reliant on
them, or the heartache that comes from a child that is their own flesh and
blood tasting of life's failures. They'll never have that intimate connection
with a spouse that only comes from raising a child together. Everyone has to
make their own choice, that's right for them...but it's sad to me that the
choice for so many women is to forego this joy for other things.
Now in saying this I don't think woman should never have careers or never have other hobbies or you should force woman to have children. I just feel sad that more and more woman avoiding the wonderful opportunity of having children. It's probably one of the most difficult things we as woman will ever be entrusted. The emotional, physical and psychological difficulties last far beyond the infant stages but there is no other experience that can compare with that of raising a child...
Just my thoughts and opinions :)
XOXO
