Almost midnight thoughts on #parenting.

If you don’t want to be a parent, don’t have #kids. Parenting isn’t for everyone.

If you’re not sure if you want to be a #parent, don’t have kids. Parenting should be an enthusiastic yes, not a hesitant maybe.

If you want to have kids but you’re not in a position to give them a #stable, #loving environment, think twice before having kids. Parenting is hard in the best of circumstances and sometimes now is not the right time.

If you are #pregnant and don’t want to be a parent, I hope you have options because no one should have to be a parent against their will. #BodilyAutonomy means not being #forced to use your body in a way you did not #choose.

If you are a parent because you don’t have #options, do not be hard on yourself and do not take it out on the child. It is not the fault of either of you.

If you are a parent, and your #circumstances change, that doesn’t make you a bad parent. Ask for and accept #help if you can.
