being a mother is the dream of every woman here on earth... its because you carry your baby for nine months... and being pregnant, is not very easy... you're always asking why you feel thiat way... and being pregnant is that you have to be very careful for your baby's protection so that your baby will be healthy as soon as he/she come out... Upon giving birth, this is the time that you can say that your complete... you're a woman...you're a mother.... and that is the essence of being mother... in your opinion, what is the essence of being mother?

Um, being a mother is *not* the dream of every woman. There's a significant number of women, myself included, who don't ever want to have children. I don't like children, I don't have the patience for children, and I have other things I'd rather be doing with my life. Having kids isn't for everyone. It's wonderful for the women who do* want to be a mother, and wish them all the luck, health and happiness in the world, but a lot of us have other dreams.

You beat me to what I was going to say. That seems to happen a lot.
Personally, I am a mother. But it took a long time for me to come to the decision that was what I wanted, and I know many people for whom motherhood is simply not part of their life or dreams. It's very arrogant to believe that what you want out of your life is what everyone wants.
