I’m pro having kids. But the decision to have children is full of myths and assumptions, even more so than marriage. A good rule of thumb is to ask, “If I hadn’t gotten accidentally pregnant, would I be seeking a child right now?” It’s advice that applies to all kinds of accidental opportunities, like a surprise promotion that requires you to move far away.

 Is this baby right for me? What do I do? |
 Talk with people, both those who have kept the baby & those who haven’t. Make a plan for your life. A baby does bring joy, but it also makes it very hard to get ahead. Call Planned Parenthood & get a sense of your options. Are you centered, happy in life, emotionally rock solid, with a stable financial life & no desire to change the world or leap dramatically ahead in the next 8 years? If so a baby may work. If not, maybe not. <3 ——– Want daily inspiration? Subscribe! And try my other blog, Events Insider. |
