Hi my name is Kuda and I want five children. 3 girls and two boys. Wait! let me change that...Hi my name is Kuda and I want five children in this day and age. Many people often ask me "why do you want five children in this day and age?" That statement beguiles me frankly speaking. I had no idea the size and to a certain extent structure of a family needed to live up to a certain trend.
I know for a fact though that during the mid-nineties to early 2000s working mums with a small number of children were classified as the ideal. My mother herself only bore two children her reasons are unclear but I would like to believe it was a decision she made for her own benefit. I respect women who do this I really do. However i would like to believe that there is more than enough room to accommodate different lifestyle choices.
When i mention I want five children people naturally assume I want to be a stay-at-home-mum (SAHM). NO! I still want a fulfilling career and a fulfilling job. I feel like the Women's Rights Movement has been distorted by many to suit their own choices.
I like to believe that the point of early feminists was to give women a spectrum of choice. And if that choice includes being a mother to many children or being a stay at home mum so be it.
Now speaking from my own choice, why can I not be armed with an MBA in one hand and a sippy cup in the other? I am not downplaying the challenges it brings but i am just saying, If I want it then surely I should be able to get it.
I feel like too many of us women are becoming too concerned with how others live life. Women themselves are too critical of other women. We constantly look over the shoulders of other women lying in wait for any mistake they might commit. That is what we have been reduced to.
However, my parting words are simple Do you Boo, do you.
