It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't have my first child until I was 40. I actually learned about motherhood from management.
I was 36 when I got married. I was so focused on, 'You wanted a husband, and you wanted a house, and you wanted children.' I've had all those things now.
Being a mum changed me for the better.
I didn't really inhabit myself until I was in my 30s. And motherhood is an epic event. You can't help but be altered by it - and it is important to be.
I wanted to get a taste of what it would feel like to be a mum. I've always had a strong maternal instinct and ideally I would love one of my own.
I wanted very badly to be a mum. I'm a very maternal person. But at the point that I met Emilio I was focusing on a career. I never would have thought that I would get married at 21 and much less be a mum by 23.
I still feel like a kid sometimes myself so hard to believe that I'm a mom. Now I'm an adult! It only took 38 years!
Mum was an absolutely determined woman. She was determined I would have a good education, and they went without all sorts of things to ensure it.
Even when I was a child, I always wanted to be older. I realised just in time that it's a mistake and to enjoy my youth while I had it.
I love being a mum. Sometimes I just wish nobody knew who I was.
