did becoming a mother change your life???for the good??

Being a mothwr definately changed my life. I was the partying type that went out at least 3 times a week adn would get wasted each time and have to go to work the next day. Once I was pregnant with my first son everything had to stop and once I had my son there was no turning back, I couldn't do all those things I use to do because I really didn't have anyone that I could trust to take caer of him during the night considering his father work late hours and i worked during the day. So yes it has changed me alot and I just hadbaby number 2 and I really feel the pressure of motherhood.

Oh my goodness, did it change my life? Heck yeah! First of all, I was 30 by the time I had my first child. After being single and responsible for only me and my cats, taking care of another HUMAN BEING that depended upon ME for everything was a huge adjustment. When you become a mother you are; caregiver, teacher, maid, taxi driver, nurse, the list goes on and on... Unfortunately, for me, I also had to learn to be a disabled person at the same time I was learning to become a mom. After the birth of my first child I developed rheumatoid arthritis (RA.) Terribly painful. I felt so robbed, after years of playing with my nephews and neice, I finally get my own child and can't get down on the floor and play with him - let alone tie his shoes in less than 2 minutes time. BUT--I would not change a thing! I have learned to live with my RA and be a fun, great mom at the same time. I absolutely love being a mom, love all (3) of my children and could not imagine my life without them.

Becoming a mother did change my life but it changed it for the better . I can't imagine life without my children !! I was only nineteen when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and although I missed out on all the other activities others my age were doing , I never once regretted having her so much younger . It is hard to describe what becoming a mother means and I beleive that one with no children would be able to fully understand what motherhood is really all about :)

I never wanted to be a mother and i dont think its our main purpose on earth. Some people live through their children or for their children or are obsessed with their children and I dont think that is healthy. They should be your number one priority granted, but remember they will leave one day and go on with their life and that is healthy. Being a mom effected me much like it did you. I would have spent much more time in bars if I hadnt become a young mom. Of course now, I wouldnt trade it for anything. It taught me patience most of all. It taught me the true meaning of unconditional love and what it means to truly say you would lay your life down for another person.It also taught me what it means to truly feel anothers pain.....when you see your teen daughter crying over some boy, or your son crying because someone pushed him down....you just want to cry yourself. lol

Absolutely, becoming a mother changed my life for the good! I can't even imagine not being a mother. I believe that being a mother is our main purpose on this earth. Just take a look at the children around you - some are being abused, neglected, starved, etc. Don't you think that we can be a gift to these children. Being a mother gets rid of any selfishness you can have because you can't be a good mother and be selfish. I believe that God's gift to us raising our children is becoming grandmas, but I also would never have changed anything in my life when it came to raising my 5 beautiful children. I'm very proud to say I'm a mother. They made me the better person I am today.
