I could say "This is for you!! ...for all you 'non-mums' out there!" But that sounds too pretentious and it is really for me, as I can't speak for anyone else except me, and of course if anyone out there enjoys reading what I think or likes what I have to say that's 'good'.... but I won't lose any sleep if you don't like what I say or if you disagree with me for any reason, because that's your prerogative, (
must look that word up!). At the same time, I don't want to generalise or imply that I have all the answers, I don't! So, this is just a Blog about Me and who I think I am!
So why it's called ''I'm not a mum'' ? .....because I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about how there are so many 'mum's clubs/groups/networks/blogs/webpages etc., out there, and so I thought it was time to start one for the non-mums! Not that I think 'we' are
not welcome in the mum's groups, I am currently a member of a few, but just the fact that I'm
'not a mum' makes me feel a bit awkward at times when discussion about being one, comes up and so I am proclaiming my 'not a mum' title with pride (but no prejudice!)
And hey, for whatever reason there
are a LOT of us who don't have children!
So this is a gesture for any 'non-mums' who may feel the need to have a niche especially for them!
Naturally as one gets older, one gets used to not having kids or being a Mum, and I'm totally fine with 'not being a mum' (
so why did i start this blog - you may well ask!) and except for starting this blog, I never usually give it a second thought, but I do know there are a lot of women 'out there' who are NOT fine with not being a mum.....and that started to concern me.....well, I could say:
"Time to stop feeling like you're missing something and time to start gaining some creative power back" .....but it is not so black and white!
So, for whatever reason that you may identify with not being a mum, I'd just like to congratulate you and welcome you aboard, and just because you are 'you' makes you special. You deserve to feel good about yourself (just in case you aren't feeling ok) so if you're not please feel free to leave comments and discuss your feelings and thoughts and maybe we can help each other on our journey.
