- You find yourself selling the baby bassinet on an online marketplace, momentarily forgetting that your infant is still nestled inside until the buyer arrives.
- Your partner has become a distant figure, ever since you embarked on the journey of parenthood around 2008.
- On particularly challenging days, when your children are adamantly resisting everything, it’s hard to remember the joys of parenting.
- The idea of abstaining from your favorite pinot grigio for another nine months is a thought you’d rather not entertain.
- You feel that the time has come to pursue other ambitions, such as launching a successful business and enjoying a glass of pinot grigio again.
- You recently purchased a pair of vibrant neon trainers, and while you may not use them for running, they bring you joy.
- The sound of a newborn’s cries now gives you the same chills as the haunting theme from “The Exorcist.”
- When your partner jokingly suggests leaving you if you consider another child, you can’t help but think, “Not if I beat you to it.”
- Your mind and heart are both aligned in saying no, but your body is adamantly resistant to the idea.
- The thought of spending another eight years waiting at school pick-up feels like a lifetime sentence; people serve less time for serious offenses.
- Instead of posting a “No Junk Mail” sign, you opt for “No More Babies” to deter any surprise deliveries from the stork.
- You’re taking every precaution: on the pill, using a coil, and even practicing celibacy to ensure you’re completely certain.
- As you gaze at your perfectly imperfect family, you realize that everyone who is meant to be there already is.
You know you’re not quite done with having babies when your mind says “no,” your body agrees, yet your heart whispers, “What about just one more?”
