Ladies - feeling that lack of children
I keep telling myself that I'm crazy, that I should be happy. Here I am, pursuing my wildest dreams. I'm 26, with plenty of time to get that PHD before thinking about having children.
Yet I feel a constant nagging, "Where are the kids?"
My biological clock seems to be ticking and I wish I could shut it off.
It's not that Tt and I are opposed to having children. There just aren't any.
In fact, it might be worse because we are looking forward to raising a family together.
It runs deep. I am frequently overcome by an intense grief.
I feel as though I'm working against some substantial environmental conditioning and biological programming to pursue my education and career.
My questions to you...
Is this abnormal, or is this just part of being a woman?
Have you felt this way?
How do you cope with it?
Thanks in advance for your comments and advice. I'm looking forward to reading all you have to say.
