A realization that made me so happy with my childfree lifeI have a cousin who is the exact same age as me - 26 Born on the same day. This year, she had her fourth baby. Today, I bought my fourth high end (l mean really high end - like Gucci) purse, that I can afford because I put all my eggs in the career basket. I grew up INCREDIBLY poor. It is like a dream come true to live like this. Tomorrow I'm going to sleep in until about 11, wake up, and check to see if it's shipped yet.
Fuck, I love being childfree.
Women like this need to actively convince themselves that mothers hate being mothers and derive little to no joy out of being a mother. They idolise the lifestyles they're taught to idolise and think they know they're more fulfilling than motherhood.
This is contradicted by fact of how frequent it is for women to drop out of the workforce after having a child; not because they'd find working and parenting too difficult to manage, but because the fulfilment they derive from mothering makes them want to mother full-time.
On many levels, the modern woman is made to believe many lies curated to maintain her belief that she really is living the best life. Whenever a woman contradicts this with a testimony of her experiences, she is always demeaned and belittled by women who know only one life.
