“That you have to sacrifice every single bit of your body, time, and soul for your children. If breastfeeding is sucking the life out of you, literally and figuratively, and you hate it, and it upsets you, then stop! Formula has kept babies alive for decades. If you’re at your wit’s end and are about to have a breakdown, it’s okay to lay baby down in the crib safely and walk away for a moment to catch your breath. Believe it or not, you don’t actually have to do those staged monthly photos with a sign that shows how old your infant is, which you then post on FB. Literally, do what works best for you. You have to put your own oxygen mask on before helping others. A mentally well and happy mom is best for a healthy, happy baby.” © Unknown author / Reddit
“That it gets easier or ever truly ends. It doesn’t, and it won’t. I have 3 kids, 20, 21, and 24. The teenage years are HARD and expensive if they play sports, especially travel. Don’t underestimate that commitment either, financially or time-wise. You also don’t stop ever being a parent. Especially if you’re a single parent.” © LegitimateStar7034 / Reddit
“You shouldn’t have kids expecting that your families are going to be actively involved or interested. People have their own interests, own families, their own depression, their own work lives, and some just plain don’t want to be around children. All reasons are valid. Go into childhood knowing you’re bringing these children into the world, and you’re responsible for raising them.”
