You always hear about mothers and how great they are. But truly all they had to do was make love to their significant other and bam there was a baby. Not that complicated. Unless, of course, you are one of the few who struggle like me. I have met a lot of mothers who did not have to strive to have children, who did not even attempt to conceive, who planned for a child and got one, or simply got one and did not want it. Mothers cannot be put into the category of greatness just based on status. I want to discuss the women out there who have fought for their children, who wanted them so badly and yet had to wait or bury them, or never even got a chance to experience any of the above. The women I am talking about are the ones who are great and their greatness has NOTHING to do with their ability to pro-create or buy children. I am talking about the Zumba instructor who needs IVF to have a kid. I am talking about the Deaf interpreter who never got to experience the love of a child in their home, and the dietician who dreams of what it would feel like to be pregnant just once. I am talking about a group of women who are great even though they are childless. I want to be one of them. You never hear of awful people struggling to have children because they can reproduce like rabbits but genuine people who could be the BEST of parents never get the opportunity. I feel like this part of life should be more fair.
I know, I know, life is not fair but couldn't this part be a smidgeon more equal?
