What can you say about this?

I say RUBBISH! And I've had children, so I feel qualified to say that. First of all, if the only way a woman could "pay back" her parents is by giving birth, then how does a man do that for his parents? What a strange thought that you have to give birth because you owe something to your parents. No, to me a complete woman (or a complete man, for that matter), is a person who knows herself, is confident in herself, and lives her life according to what she knows about herself. Heck, having kids can bring the worst out in a person - if they prove to be a terrible parent, are they still complete? Not in my book. It's how they respond to themselves and to others that makes them complete.

I was a complete woman before I had my son. Now that I have him, I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't think it's a way to pay back all the sacrifices that my parents made, but I think it makes me understand those sacrifices more since we are going through that ourselves.

I don't agree with that at all, I haven't decided if I want kids or not yet (I'm 25) but I sure don't feel incomplete without them. I'm sure there are some people who think they were born to be mothers, but it's true for all women. And I think the best way to pay back your parents is to live your life right, and try to live by the values they instilled in you while you were growing up (that is if they were good parents lol). Most parents I know just want to see their children succeed in life and be happy :)

I can't say I agree with this as every pregnancy , labour and delivery is different for every one and for each baby . Some people find it very easy while others have a much harder time . It is a nice experience that we get to enjoy having our children but there are many couples out there unable to have their own children and so they end up adopting . I don't believe that because they were not able to have the child themselves that this means they can't be complete as they still have the same feelings for their child even though they didn't go through all the stages of pregnancy . Also there are couples out there who don't want any children but this does not mean they are not complete , this just means they chose something different in life that was more fullfilling for them . Having a child is nice but it doesn't mean it completes a person anymore .

It is quite true in some cases,but it's not true in any case. As my experience,i know a woman who is too poor to arise a baby. But she still gave birth to the baby.After she born the baby,she left the baby away as she can't arise him. I think the most important is the resposibilities that mother and father have for a baby. It can't be over just to give birth, it's far more important to arise him and educate him. You can't give birth to a baby just in order to make yourself a complete woman.

Yes I agree with U. A woman is complete when she gives birth to a baby. A woman goes through many phases, she plays different roles,and the most imp. and demanding role is the mother's role. As a mother she has to do a lot,many sacrifices ,oceans of paitenece, And while giving birth she undergoes a lot of pain but as soon as she her baby , she forgets everything,then the baby i s everything to her. So I say that we cannot repay what our parents do for us and really by giving birth to a baby,we understand the sacrifices of our parents,and mother is a complete woman. Thanks

having a baby doesnt make you a woman that make you a mother. and not all women that give birth for earned the title of woman or mother. its how you present and carry yourself that makes you a women. and as far as paying back our parents why is it only the women have to do that. our parents choice to have us the same as we choose to have our kids i dont think they expect payback at least not until they or older and need someone to tend them. I think paying back our parents comes when the life roles switch and we become the parent to or parents and they become the child. we owe them the right to be taken care of by family not strangers.

Sorry - I totally disagree with that. Motherhood is not for every woman for any different reasons - some may not physically be able to have children because of health problems, others may just not meet the life partner they want to have children with, and others may simply not want children. Of course motherhood is great for those who want it, but it does not make you less of a person if you cannot, or do not want, to have kids. Producing babies does not fulfil all women, nor does it make someone less complete as a woman because you do not have them.

i feel that being a mother isn't what makes us a woman, thus i don't agree with that statement. a woman can feel complete and completely satisfied without ever having given birth. there are many wonderful women who choose to not have children and many wonderful women who cannot have childre, all are complete women and should be acknowledged as such. yes giving birth is another whole experience that i am glad to have gone through myself, i have been blessed in this manner. i've known many wonderful women who couldn't have their own children and helped other peoples children tremendously. and i know many women who would not be good parents just because that's not where their talents and desires lie. a woman who can devote her life to the goodness of humankind in any number of ways is a complete and wonderful woman, even if she has never once given birth to a child.

Personally, I disagree, being a mom is not what makes us complete as a woman. I did have children, I have two beautiful daughters, but I also have had friends that didn't have nor did they want to have children, and yet they were 'complete' as a person, they had a great relationship with their significant other, they have a good career, and good relationships with their families. So no I don't think we 'pay back' our parents by having children, we show our parents respect and gratitude by becoming the best person we can.

To say a woman is not complete untill she has given birth is to say God created something imperfect or incomplete. A body can be born with birth defects but this too does not have anything to do with being a complete person, man or woman. A person's completeness in in the soul not the housing that holds it. Being a mother is the highest calling a woman can achieve. Note I said being a mother not giving birth. Giving birth is both a blessing and a curse. I think God made a wise choice in giving women this ability. BTW I have two children, both were C-Scetion due to complications. I don't feel any less complete for not having experienced "normal" labor and delivery.

I think that's right because you will realize what your mother have been through in all this years that she takes care of you since you were a baby. A a mother of 8 months old baby, i just feel the sacrifice and hardworks of my mother when i was just a baby. I was sorry then when i answer her when i was a teenager and hate her for things that are not really big deal.

I strongly agree with the statement. If you never through the stages of pregnancy or giving birth a babies, you'll never be a complete women, that's women's responsibily and work. If you do not do this, you'll regret when you get old without your own baby. It's my opinion. But most important thing is you have to find someone you really want to have a baby with. Give birth to baby is not a difficult thing, the most hard thing is find a right father for him.

There is no need to have children in order to be called a woman. It sounds stupid. It is from the Middle ages. Please, don't ask such things because you loog like old fashioned on the eyes of the others. But maybe the others can say something different...

if a woman will only feel the completeness of being a woman if she was able to give birth, i feel sorry for those who are single without child, those who haven't gone through surgery, those who are infertile... meaning, they are not complete at all. i am still single but in a relationship. my boyfiend and i have plans on getting married one day and starting a family of our own. but still, i am not sure if i am fertile or not. i guess, the wholeness of a woman isn't just based on the pregnancy and giving birth. sure, it makes us proud and happy to be a mom... but the wholeness of a woman depends on how she lived her life the right way. happy myLotting!

In a way YES, being a MOTHER is one great role or should I say Achievement to comple our WOMANHOOD. As a Mom, I fully understand now the hard labours of love of my parents,I realize that as I enter the phase of being a mother, I can imagine what my mother experienced when she brought me into this world...Now,the main idea is so simple, GOD is so great! the principle of having a family is priceless,WE, the WOMAN has a great role in this world...and I know that I wanted to instill those values to my daughter...in the future..
