Dilemma: to have or not to have children, the two sides of the story

Many women face at some point in their lives dilemma of having or not having children and that is why our announcer Karen Vinasco, mother of two girls, spoke with Carolina Perdomo, who has not had babies.

Why is having or not having children a dilemma for women?

Formerly, most of our grandmothers, great-great-grandmothers and further back, did not have the opportunity to decide what they wanted to do with their lives, because they did not have access to education, in most cultures they did not even have rights over their properties and who decided for us was the father, the husband or a male relative.

For thousands of years, women were educated only to be wives, mothers and manage a home.. Fortunately that changed; now we women have the same civil and legal rights as men, we can study, work and, if we want, start a family or the opposite and not be mothers.

The sacrifice of a mother

Although that «sacrifice» is an expression that has already been ordered to be collected, it is a reality that exists some things that are lost forever when you become a mother and Karencita told us which ones were the most difficult for her.

  • One: losing your freedom, but not in the sense of doing what you want, but from the moment you have children you lose your peace of mind because at all times you think about whether they are okay, it’s like leaving the milk boiling, in any moment spills.
  • And two: losing life as a couple as one lives without children, because intimacy is completely lost and recovering it is a long and complicated job that can sometimes end the relationship.
