Motherhood

As it turns out, some of us start thinking about motherhood as soon as we hit the 26, 27-yr mark! As much as it is a wonderful experience, it requires planning.

There are several reasons why many people prefer to have kids later in life. So, I asked my parents for their thoughts on those reasons:

- you may be still in school (masters. PhD, etc)
- you feel too young to settle down with a partner
- you still like to party hard with your single friends
- you still prefer to spend all your money on make-up, shoes and clothes
- you may not have financial stability or career prospects
- you are afraid that you cannot raise a child
- you feel that you haven't traveled enough around the world
- you are worried to miss out on climbing the Everest or swimming across the ocean or perhaps learning another language

So, basically other than those above, my parents think motherhood is a wonderful experience. Therefore, I am setting my priorities straight:

- finishing school
- moving up the career path one step
- learning French
- taking guitar lessons again(!)
- visiting, Italy and Greece, Cuba or New Zealand
- buying a condo

Great list, eh?
