The wrong man can turn your motherhood into pure survival mode. Suddenly you are not just raising a child. You are also recovering from everything that man put you through
After experiencing pregnancy, labor, child birth and now post partum, I can now confidently say that this is not something you do with just anyone. You will need so much support to stay sane
Also, do it when you’re ready to be a mum
My uncle told me, “Women today are too independent, Men don't feel needed anymore” I asked him, “Why does a woman being capable of taking care of herself make you feel less like a man?” He said, “Because men are supposed to provide” I asked, “Then what happens when she can provide for herself?” He said, “She'll stop respecting him” I looked at him and said, “Or maybe she’ll finally have the freedom to respect a man because she genuinely admires him, not because she depends on him” He went quiet. I wasn't trying to win the argument. I just wanted him to hear how strange that sounds when you say it out loud.
