an interesting piece coupled with my own interesting experiences of late. it's funny--for a while there, it seemed all my friends/companions were getting pregnant. its sort of still that way, but the interesting thing is that more than a couple of these newish moms (i.e. kids from 6m-3 years or so) will say the same thing like "im telling you because you won't judge me" with some sort of "i love my kid(s), but______" 1. i miss my free time 2. i dont always like them 3. im tired of the attitude...............etc.
i attribute their honesty to my being forthcoming in my child free status, as well as the candidness that it wasn't an easy decision nor a 100% awesome decision (although the pros soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo outweigh the cons).
hilariously, when they were first moms/pregnant it was bingo city, but now it seems to be that a bit less. obviously, some people are 100% baby all the time, or have deluded themselves in someway to be 100% baby all the time. but i think it's a myth. made up by women who hate women who love to make other women feel inadequate.
so that's my soapbox, but i think the anonymity of the interwebs has allowed women/men to be honest....even in cyberspace.
