Does parenting feel impossible right now? Maybe you don’t have the family support you desire, or you’re just scraping by financially and can’t imagine adding another person to your monthly budget. No matter what concerns you most about parenting, your feelings and worries are understandable and valid.
However, it is important to know that no one ever feels truly prepared to parent. Many women in your situation have chosen to parent and found it to be the most rewarding decision they’ve ever made.
Is Parenting Right for Me?
While only you can decide if parenting is right for you, the number one question to ask yourself is: Do I want to parent? If even a small part of you is curious about parenting or desires to parent, you owe it to yourself to seriously explore this option.
When considering whether parenting is right for you, it can help to ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I have a heart to parent?
- What might my life look like if I choose to parent?
- How might I feel if I decide to parent?
- How might I feel if I don’t choose to parent?
- What would it look like to parent while working toward my goals?
Parenting is a complex choice, but resources are available to help you feel supported and empowered to parent successfully.
