Her expression reminds me of how I felt a few days after bringing my son home from the hospital. He was really a good baby, didn't cry unless he was hungry, uncomfortable, or needed to be changed. I'd had a C-section and was living with my parents, so I was exhausted in every way. It was Thursday night, and I had just finished giving him his evening bottle. I turned to my mom and said, in all seriousness, that I couldn't wait for the weekend. We just looked at each other and started laughing.
It was then that it really and truly hit me, and I thought holy shit, what the hell have I done? And now I'm truly stuck! LOL. That was 34 years ago and we still laugh about it.
You must be a very well adjusted individual tho, I was asking because I am just about to miss that boat due to fear. Mostly having childhood traumas and mental health difficulties which should have been addressed sooner but hey we are here. I always thought I should not be worth letting a child into this world when I could hardly take care of myself, I dare say its selfish although sounds a lot like a whole lot of work to have a kid soooooo really. 🥹
