Did you expect to have a career? Or did you always plan on being a stay at home mom but end up working anyway? I’m in the latter group, but I’m learning to accept it.

I always planned on working. Having kids never really appealed to me, at least not when I was younger. I'm more open to the idea now, but if it does happen, I don't think I'll ever be a SAHM. I have all the respect in the world for the women who do it, but my career means a lot to me and I don't want to give it up.

I completely agree. Mad respect for women who choose it, but I think I see myself always doing some sort of work

I grew up without a lot of direction and am honestly just proud of how far I've come and where I'm currently at. I guess you can say I grew up without any expectations lol. As much as I would love to find someone, settle down, and be a stay-at-home mom, I know I can't rely on anyone else making that my reality.

I was always directed at having a career. If the situation came about where having kids made sense, that would be great. Up to now I haven't been involved with anyone that would inspire that type of commitment, so focusing on my career works fine for now.

Yes always planned on having a career. I did take some time off when I had my children but it just confirmed I’m not bout to be a SAHM 🤣

I was really dreading it but actually it was easier than I expected.
