growing up I’d always thought I’d be a Cool Mom™ but eventually I realized that I just saw motherhood as an opportunity to recreate the childhood that I could have had

@leanbeefmami better late than never. it's good you realized it on your own
@leanbeefmami working through this and removing that desire to “raise yourself again and better” is SO MUCH WORK.
@leanbeefmami THIS. now as I get older I don’t even think motherhood is a true aspiration of mine
@leanbeefmami … gonna unpack this with my therapist but is it bad to want to give your future children the childhood you never had if that isn’t your sole motivation for wanting to have kids?
