A Mother's Joy.

A couple of my friends were talking about children today. Most of them said that they would never want to have children for fear of ruining their figure. Or as they crudely put it, "I don't want saggy boobs ( Read more... )

I say bring on the babies :) I want at least four..you know that!
Plus. having babies makes your boobs BIGGER which is a bonus :) again, not being superficial..but my children will be bettering my figure :)

So.. bring on the hockey team! and a sagging chest. because babies are so cute... If I ever found out I couldnt have kids of my own I would cry my eyes out.

ps. Keep it gangsta Maithao!

Someone actually said that? gawd, thats extremelly superficial...I can't believe she said it (or they)
And your obviously right...children are pretty much the best thing that can happen to a woman. I don't think there has been too many incidents where a woman hasn't genuinely loved her child, even if she hadn't planned to have it or if she didn't want one to begin with
Those girls are just dumb...they don't deserve the happiness of having kids if all they're concerned about is their bodies.

Well, it's kind of presumptuous to say that all women are MEANT to experience childbirth. Every woman has the right to decide that for herself and I think women can live complete lives without having children. It's a very 19th century mode of thinking to believe that childbirth is a woman's destiny.

Also, some women just don't want kids. I highly doubt someone could genuinely believe that a ruined figure is their top reason for not having kids. How old are we, 16? 17? We say all kinds of stupid crap that we don't mean. This was just one of them.

And it's a valid reason for avoiding childbirth. Many women get cosmetic surgery after they have kids. It's obviously not because childbirth IMPROVES women's figures. A woman's body will change drastically after having a child. Stretch marks, saggy boobs, a buddha belly that won't go away even with working out, torn labia lips, and sometimes scars from having a C-section. These women put their bodies through a hell of a lot and it's really something to consider before getting pregnant.
