#18: Embracing Your Mistakes
It goes without saying that people should avoid giving advice to others about having kids. Oh. Apparently, it doesn’t go without saying because there are plenty of people out there who love telling others how to live their lives. We will spell it out for everyone. Just because one person loves having kids doesn’t mean everyone feels the same way.
Some people grow up with a strong desire to start a family, while others accidentally fall into parenthood and learn that they love it. Others make the conscious decision to remain child-free. The thing is, everyone is different. What one person wants is not necessarily what everyone else wants. Sharing life experiences with others is good, but not if it’s presented as advice that another person needs to follow to achieve happiness.
