25. Fear of Parenthood and Other Scary Things

Shit We Don't Tell Mom

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
