Some background about me; I am a 21 year old university student that’s having a hard time finding my path. I don’t have a ton of career goals. All I really want to do is be a wife and mother. If I achieve that, I would consider my life a success whether or not I have a career. I have a lot of stress on me from my family to go to university and get a high paying job when I’m not even sure I want to do that. My family is having a hard time comprehending that my biggest goal in life is to have a family. I told my brother this and he told me that “having a family is not an actual goal” and “it’s not something that can be worked towards”. Obviously, that totally deflated me and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health doing all these things that don’t really matter to me in the long run. I guess I just wanted opinions about my situation and whether you ladies consider motherhood to be a goal and not just some destination that you just stumble into. I spend a lot of time thinking about my future family and I do pray about them but my family are making me feel like I’m silly and that I should have “actual goals”. Have you ladies ever experienced any of this and how did you handle it? What should I be doing in the meantime now that I don’t have a family yet? Thanks! xoxo
