1.The joy.Getting married, buying a house, raising children and having a career is expensive, stressful, time consuming but will be the most time meaningful thing you ever do.
2.If you are on the fence about it, that means you should have kids- as someone once told me, people do regret having children sometimes (sadly) but a bigger regret is not having children and wishing you did. You always regret not having the children you wished you did.
3.Having children changes you for the better: it makes you more empathic, it makes you patient and more loving.
4.It is a buffer against living a completely selfish existence
5.Not everyone should have kids, but kids are fun, they are loving and if you nurture them during the crucial stages of their development, you will have a bond for life with your kids.
6.Kids will love you unconditionally
7.We all have some unique teachings, life experience and wisdom to offer- why not you?
8.You should have kids if you want to, and, if you find the right partner.
9.No one is perfect and there is no such thing as the perfect parent but as the English Psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott once said, “you just need to be “the good enough parent.”
