CHOOSE: Your own happiness/finding yourself worth or Your Children?

I guess before you got married and had children, you already find you're worth so you wouldn't be confused regarding choosing of priorities. When you are single, it is easier to find your own happiness but if you are a mom, all that matters is my children's future and their welfare.

I find it hard to separate the two, if I'm being honest with you. You're saying that you wouldn't feel happy if you chose your children, however I am confident that if I chose mine, I would be as happy as I have ever been in my entire life. I think that I have already achieved a lot in my life so that my children would be proud of me, and I don't see how this would change as you cannot change the past. I have worked very hard to give them a good life, and would never choose anything over them, so my answer to this question will always be the same.

I like to think that both are actually possible. I see your point but I look at things a little different. As a Christian I don't get my happiness from my self worth necessarily. God gives me an inner peace that allows me to be happy. He also assures me I am worthy thanks to his son Jesus Christ. But back to the children. I think if a person chooses to have children they should give them their all. Meaning put them first even if that makes me have to miss out sometimes. Making sure a child has a healthy childhood with lots and lots of love, attention, one on one caring for, is the most important thing anyone can ever do for a child. I am very passionate about children. So thanks for the great discussion question!
