Oh boy- as a girl I got told over and over and over growing up “Don’t get pregnant !” And “don’t have kids if you can’t afford them, or unmarried, etc etc “ and “go to college get a degree get a fancy job” etc So- I go to college, get degree, get married to a nice guy , and I’m at 28 years old when I start my career in my field, so I am poor. “Don’t have kids if you can’t afford it! “ ok then ?? With a job and doing slightly better then poverty, get told getting pregnant will mess my career up. I’m 29 now Fast forward , suffer an accident and end up mildly disabled, relearn how to walk etc . Told “ you can’t get pregnant think of the baby!!” Take two years to regain use of legs, now I’m 33. Now everyone asks “why aren’t you pregnant yet? The clock is ticking! You are so selfish for not having a kid at your old age! Why haven’t you thought of?? “I regret it all.
