00:00:00.000 Please hear me out. For the longest time I didn't want kids. My husband and I were on the same page
00:00:05.300 and then we got to year 11 in our marriage and through some discussions and things we decided
00:00:11.760 we did. We did want to start a family. We changed our minds as people do and I think we went into
00:00:17.340 it thinking that it might not even happen because we had some friends with fertility issues and
00:00:22.260 things like that so we thought maybe this might not even happen for us so we're just going to
00:00:26.280 go ahead and try anyway instead it happened very quickly and i think that kind of shocked us a bit
00:00:31.640 and for two straight weeks i cried thinking about it because i was like what have i reproduced with
00:00:38.800 a low status male basically done i've ruined can you imagine scroll through tiktok and be like mom
00:00:44.460 what the did you post my plans i what am i doing i got over it after the initial shock of it all
00:00:51.620 and then the pandemic hit and we had our daughter and I thought great now this is not going at all
00:00:59.980 as what I thought and it was hard but I love my daughter she is hilarious she is so sweet
00:01:08.220 she's so smart witty I can be having the worst day ever and she knows that and she'll give me
00:01:15.700 a hug and she brightens every part of my day and i love being her mom and i love being a mom but
00:01:22.980 they were oh my god there's a but you that should have just been a period oh my god we always focus
00:01:29.720 on the negatives a lot of reasons why i didn't want kids and one of those reasons was that i
00:01:35.280 didn't want to bring a kid into a world that was declining as it is and i don't know if this 0.99
00:01:42.740 happens every generation i don't know it's declining for you guys i'm gonna kill it you 0.57
00:01:47.640 know what i mean i don't know if every generation has thought what am i bringing my kids into but
00:01:51.820 especially with the state of things as of late i look into her eyes and how bright it is and how
00:01:58.400 wonderful she sees everything and i just think what have i done because one day it's not going
