So I've been mildly obsessing over our little ones lately. Not so much over them but about the larger question, why did we have them in the first place? That feels pretty f'd up coming from a loving and pretty together Mom but I just don't have an altogether good answer to the question. Of course we had kids because we wanted to offer them a stable, loving family. We also wanted to raise a couple of awesome cherubs to shake things up but lately I need something bigger than that and I'm coming up blank.
I'm guessing that the lack of a "bigger purpose" for our family comes from the lacking family environment I came from. Parents having kids because that's what they were supposed to do. Add onto that no real religious convictions, the fact that its 2012 and the world is kinda scary even for me as an adult and that is not the best environment to introduce to our clean slates.
The Reason: I never wanted kids until I realized that I could take 1/2 of him and 1/2 of me and then make a pretty sweet little one. The ultimate toy!
Bullet Points: I had kids because:
I want to shape a mind into something other than the status quo.
They change and surprise me every day.
You can't fake it with kids; they know.
I want them to know what a loving family is like.
They are the ultimate expression of our love for one another and are the embodiment of love and life.
