Random thought from decades ago....
"If motherhood was advertised as a 'paid' form of employment, no one would take it"
As yet, I have not come across anything to refute this. :S
^this. Totally. Good thing we are so attached to the little mongrels.

Kichi and Ellebelle, agree completely. That's why I'll never be a mother.

One of Mother Nature's cruel jokes. You go through nine months of discomfort. How many minutes/ hours of wrenching vaginal pain and then NOT give a tinker's cus about your little mongrel?
I just get saddened that the task of motherhood/ fatherhood is so undervalued and unregarded

I would recommend that those contemplating motherhood take a long serious no rose coloured glasses look into it. One can still be a caring individual and not reproduce. Some of us just get caught in the 1% failure of contraception.

Is it undervalued? It is quite a huge deal in my culture. In fact, parents are regarded as the kings and queens of households and kids are encouraged to just be obedient and then do what your parents want, including career and family choices. That's going overboard IMO. A lot of us think it's acceptable to have kids just to give your parents grandchildren.
Anyway, I think people who underestimate parenthood are likely to end up being parents themselves. Poetic justice in a way, XD.

More to the financial recognition PBB. Societally here a mother has no $ value yet a tree does? Phrases like "oh, you're JUST a mother what would you know" are also prevalent.

PBB...don't totally throw out motherhood. Agreed, it's not for everyone. But I wouldn't know what to do without my little one. It's nothing but massive and large quantities of responsibility you're actually never ready for, so definitely put some thought in it.
Little ElleBelle jr was a total whoopsie.
