Promises to Myself About Having Kids Before I'm Even Pregnant (Or: Things I Want to Remember)


I'm getting to the age, as we all do, where everyone around me is having babies. Which is great. But inevitably, it's made me imagine myself having kids. And I do want them. One day. I think. But there are things I'm afraid of. So, this list poured out of me in like 30 minutes. Maybe parts of it are naive, but just take it as an expression of a 27-year-old's list of things she absolutely wants to avoid. At the very least, it's a snapshot of my feelings at this moment in time. I made it into a cool infographic because I'm going to put it on Pinterest. Hopefully it will go viral and I'll become some super famous blogger overnight.
***Disclaimer: I wrote this for me. Myself. I'm not trying to offend anyone who has done these things. I just don't want to do them myself. Is that offensive? Oh well, who cares.
