Why make a list? 

I think everyone has a made a list like this one once or twice in their lives. Whether you wrote it down or you just had it in your head, there is  always that question of whether to have kids or not. 

 

My list mainly started  from witnessing pregnancy of one of my family members. I watched her struggle through her pregnancy with a smile on her face because pregnancy is supposed to be this beautiful thing. While I watched, I also learned so much about pregnancy and birth that has never been talked about, yet so many women go through the same thing. I have also been in the Early Childhood Education field and  have always been around children and caregiver settings for many years. 

 

"Being around children and learning about pregnancy from a close family member really opened my eyes about becoming a parent and how much people do not know until they have already became one."

 

Ultimately I want my list to prepare those that are committed to becoming amazing parents and also remind others that if they ever want a kid, these are just some things they might need to consider. I did leave in some good part though, that's where the PROS come in.  
 

Everything in my list has been from my personal experience with children, personal research, TikTok educators and parents, and from people like you that have shared their experience with me and now find comfort in that other parents have also been through the same thing.

 

Yuni's Pros and Cons List to Having Children is truly my passion project, gaining more and more traction each day.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed making it.
