minus-squareemogu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoAs someone who didn’t want kids and then had them later in life, your mind doesn’t really change until after you have them. That’s when I was like Oh At least that’s what it was like for me. Plenty of people’s minds never change even after kids sadly.
minus-squarezxqwas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoSeems unwise to take that risk. What if I don’t change my mind?
minus-squareemogu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoAbsolutely. Definitely not recommending chancing something like that haha. Just saying you might never change your mind and that’s ok. But also if a kid came into your life somehow, don’t panic! It might be ok
