No, but I regret choosing this industry and having kids.
Yuuup.
Climate change. Yes.
Not for one second. They are the best thing that ever happened to me. And my career did just fine.
☝🏽this. My daughter keeps me sane when works crazy and offers a special friendship and perspective I cherish. Everyday she reminds me of life being larger than advertising.
My first year with her was hard as I figured out the new balance as a working mom and the pressures on the new age woman. But after that it got easier.
Having had her for six years now, I have also found that the work culture that supports parents or respects the individuals lie choices makes a huge difference.
Absolutely not. My kid has been screaming at me for Halloween candy all week. Horrible. But she also learned to use “evening” correctly. Hilarious. When they’re 2. While it’s hard - there’s more laughs than tears from me. I specifically remember thinking I’d miss quiet car rides. Our conversations or debates or negotiations in the car are pretty funny.
Kids are really really hard, but I never regret them. I always say they are the life of me and the death of me. For me, they make it all worth it.
No. It’s been pretty easy with a 2.5 year old.
I have three kids and I’m perfectly happy.
I adore my 1 year old. Wouldn’t change a thing
What?? I’d never regret my kids. Definitely not for advertising.
I’m a one and done and also it full on made me quit my full time gig cause the added pressure made me realize that place was making me miserable. when something needed to break it was the job that had to go without a second thought. Kiddo is awesome. (But seriously you could not pay me to go through having a newborn again. Oof)
Pro
I’ve heard many people say it’s the hardest thing they’ve ever done but most rewarding.
