Kristy and Angie answer two questions: What are some shit that our kids might not tell us? And what are our Myer-Briggs personalities? Not surprisingly, we get raw and vulnerable debating whether we should have kids and what that might be like.
Highlights:
- Angie is no longer pressuring herself to have kids
- Kristy is more open to the idea of having kids
- Fear of passing down traits like codependency or mental illnesses
- Fear of becoming more and more like your parent
Takeaways:
- We all have a fear of passing down traits, nature or nurture, to our kids
- Awareness and communication can reduce self-fulfilling prophecies
- We can’t control our kids and we can only lead by example
- To be a good mother is to know that you cannot be a perfect mother
