I F(26) want to know how women specifically feel about being a parent. I have heard so many things that leave me equally scared and excited. I have a 7 y/o stepson who I love extensively, but I know having your own children can be different. I am not attached to the idea of being a parent, but I love to hear from others so I’ll leave my list of questions to open up a discussion:

did you always know you wanted to be a parent?
how did it change you as a person, for better AND worse?
if you could go back and tell your pre-child self something, what would it be? Would you do it again aside from how much you love your child?
how did it change your relationship with the other parent?
what advice would you give to another woman considering being a parent?
what advice would you give to another younger woman in general? What do you wish someone told you?

Please don’t hold back I want to hear anything and everything y’all have to say!!
