Women and Babies- Impulse or Instinct?
November 23rd 2007 03:28
Currently i have a collegue who is 41 yrs of age. We spent much of the day asking the office if she should have a child to a friend of hers as she is keen on having a baby.
She has come to the idea that time is running out on her "biological clock". Is it that all women who reach 30 , who have a career, Car etc tec have the urge to have a baby in order to feel complete as a woman?
My housemates and i have discussed this issue many times. We are all 20 Yrs old and we feel that in a way society imposes onto us the fact that we need to have a baby to feel complete. Perhaps its through advertising, or even the imprint of our DNA saying " REPRODUCE". I have often wondered other peoples opinions on this. Prime example is the "Populate or Perish " - a phrase that echoes in the minds of Australians. These three words encouraged a generational baby boom. The populations numbers jumped and now we ( the following generations) look at higher taxes as theese boomers hit retirement. It just grabs me that i catch myself in a state of wonder - thinking about my own future, that i have this desire to have a child and maybe then i will feel better!! Give us your thoughts on this!
