is there something "wrong" with women who don't feel the need to be a mother

[LiLuGirL]

I think being a mother would be one of the hardest, toughest, and frustrating things anyone could do ever.

 

But I also think it is well worth it.

I havent had a child of my own yet, but look forward to it wholeheartedly. It is an ultimate expression of unselfishness to care for another person and have them rely on you as their moral compass, their taxi, chef, teacher, playmate, role model, and so much more.

 

I cant think af a greater responsibilty or a greater joy.

 

That's great for you. But that isn't what this thread is about, is it? And since you don't have kids yet, you actually have no idea if it's "well worth it."

 

Very often it's not unselfish to have children; some people do it for extremely selfish reasons, like wanting unconditional love if they've never had it, or to keep a man around, or to dress up like a doll and show it off. I've seen many mothers who wanted nothing more than to be mothers, and then realized there was much more to it than the lovely, fluffy, frou-frou notions they had in their heads.
