The lives of mothers is kind of heartbreaking to me. I’m yet to see a distribution of parenthood that looks fair to me. Women have always and will always carry the bulk of childcare. I think I MIGHT have been willing to have a child if I was a man. But being a mother just sounds like being held hostage till the day I die. My mum told me the other day that she hasn’t slept a single night peacefully since my oldest sister was born 32 years ago because she’s anxious and worried about us. Yeah that’s not a life I want to live at all.

In most cases indeed. My sister in law and her partner both take a fair share, they are both pretty relaxed about being parents. They don't seem as worked up as other parents can be. So if we change our minds about children, I hope we can become parents like them. But I still don't envy them. People also always ask me if I want kids, when I tell them I don't want to they look at me like I'm depriving my boyfriend from becoming a dad, while if you ask him he would say no as well.. society isn't fair.
