I know you made this video a long while ago, but thank you still for making it! My husband and I decided to be childfree & I had a hysto + ovaries removed to improve my life from endometriosis- I’m a little sad that I’ll never see us in a little person, but I also know that these are emotions that I would struggle with! I would feel very similarly to how you feel! And who knows - getting pregnant could have made my condition worse. Which would make taking care of a child even more difficult! I say all of this to say your honesty keeps it real and it is important for anyone choosing to have children to see 🫶🏻 I hope anyone can make the most out of their life - childfree or parent!

Love how real this is ❤

The snack thing makes me happy AF because I feel so bad about giving my kids the prepackaged snacks lml. Happy to know another parent does it too

Love this! I completely agree with everything you said and really love how honest, vulnerable, and real you are. I’m literally watching this as my 16 month old wakes up for the 4th time tonight and I want to pull my hair out 😂😭 I have 3 kids and I think your child’s personality and circumstances also makes a huge difference in how you view and deal with motherhood. It’s a lot of work period but my 2 boys slept through the night from day 1. This made my life so much easier on a daily basis and made motherhood some much easier to enjoy plus they had laid back personalities. Fast forward to now. I’m crazy about my daughter but just like you she has not slept a full night since birth. I’ve never experienced this and could never have been prepared to what it does to you mentally and physically. Exhaustion truly makes you go crazy. My family all lives far away so not having any additional help other than my amazing husband (he helps so much) is hard on both of us. Having an amazing partner can also make a huge difference in how you experience motherhood. My husband and I really team up and get stuff done. I would probably be a mess without our bond and probably wouldn’t feel as positive as I do now even with the stress of parenting and life. My daughter has a very strong aggressive personality which is fun sometimes but man I never really dealt with temper tantrums with my sons and tho hers are short they are still stressful and make going places irritating sometimes because it’s so much work to plan, regulate her emotions as well as my own, and keep her from an outburst. My sons were go with the flow babies, there was no real work involved doing anything. She’s definitely my most difficult child as a baby and toddler however she also brings me a crazy amount of joy. It’s hard to explain but it’s almost like it was a needed challenge for me in some way and keeps me on my toes. I love being a mom and I find it rewarding tho reading the comments, I understand why some don’t. I wouldn’t change my decision for the world. Their bond is beautiful, they’re truly awesome and make me smile thinking about just how special they are in their owns ways and how thankful I am to be their mom. My husband and I are exhausted yes but when you are all piled up on the couch having family movie night or playing games, making traditions together, or spending time together there’s truly nothing like it. You can’t describe the feeling. Being a mom is hard especially when you have little to no support and a more difficult child. But at least for me, the difficult parts are few and short lived plus they do not even come close to fun times. Kids drive you crazy and believe me, I am an absolute monster since I don’t get sleep right now. But it’s just a season that will eventually pass. They do get easier the older they get…well at least my boys did so I’m hoping she does as well. My kids are so worth it for me. But to the people that don’t want kids. Do not let society force you to do it. Do what makes you happy. It’s a huge commitment and should not be taken lightly so if you know it’s not for you….There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. To the woman struggling with kids now, first give yourself some grace. It is difficult and it’s not peaches and cream like people act like it is. If you’re really struggling, try and find some support even if it’s a friend or momma with similar challenges that can relate to you. It will make a world of a difference. More than ever now moms are struggling to do this alone when we used to have a village and ton of support which adds so much to the stress. Finding people who understand can really help ease the stress. You got this ❤

I’m so glad that you are saying what I’m sure so many other women are feeling! Thank you!

Bless you for this video! Women should have the facts before they make the irreversible decision of reproducing.

Thank you. This video really helped me.

I recently got off the fence and committed to being CF after watching this kind of content. Parenthood literally would be my worst hell on every level. I used to just think “oh everyone does it, it’s fine”. I wish more people would engage in serious critical thinking and research before having kids. I’m positive I would be an unintentionally abusive parent and the world needs less of that. It would be self abuse too because I know I’m so ill suited to parenthood.

I really appreciate your honesty in this video. I feel like a lot of people can potentially romanticize parenthood and it’s nice to see someone be able to share the challenges while also still acknowledging they love their child 💜

I’m learning TH-cam is brutal when you get vulnerable. 😅

I'm thinking about getting the Hotmoon sound machine. Would you be interested in checking it out? It's got some seriously cool features that set it apart from the rest as per the description

I think remembering who you are as a person is the most important part of being a mom. I hope you find balance. ❤❤❤❤

No mention of the 50 dollar a year subscription?? This product is just an expensive cash grab! Everything locked behind a pay wall! So disappointed!!

As a childfree antinatalist man, I am so tired of this push and shaming of men and women who choose to be childfree. Nothing gets me going more than people with kids not mentioning that many regret having kids, its too easy to shame others who made other choices. Too easy.

Taylor, thank you for the review. When using the app, can you have it in more than one phone? Could you and your husband have access to it? Thank you 😊

Stop being hard on yourself yuo are doing great don’t get emotional overwhelmed it’s not easy but yuo need to make less stress and yuo not not doing enough

Yu need to have yuor time off alone and Don’t feel guilty please they appreciate it believe

Im glad my kids are grown and I don’t worry about the mess toys they leave behind and don’t worry about yu are not doing the right thing every time yu worry too much of messing her up when she grows up yu stresses too much unnecessary don’t try to be the perfect mom because yu will get so emotional and physical drained take it one day at a time

Being a mother it’s hard it totally changes your life in so many ways it’s the most difficult job that there’s no school to teach you don’t feel guilty I hate being a mom too lots of mom aren’t happy they just don’t say it

my ma would straight ignore me if i threw tantrums or cried as a baby lol

I would absolutely hate to be a mother, I would miss the loss of freedom, being spontaneous, not being able to everywhere with kids, losing me and my identity and just being a generic mombie, being unable to got out properly without baby sitters, being unable to have adult conversations, being unable to make plans as often johnny is sick, the lack of money, the responsbility that it is always your fault if your kids end up being bullies, criminals etc, the pressure to pop out more kids, the expensive cars, housing, childcare.. no thanks! Not all women want to be lumbered with this

This product is awful. Stay away! When the app works, it's terrible. Setting up schedules, etc is extremely clunky and time-consuming. Our app has stopped working altogether. You can't set up or change schedules anymore and some just disappeared after the last update. Great idea, but terrible quality and support.

Than give your kids up for adoption and get the fuck out and dont have nore.

Videos are looking great!! 👏🏽👏🏽

If I were a man, I think I'd want kids. But, as a woman I'm glad I opted not to have kids. I'm 51 and never had a single day, a moment of regret. Being a mom is really tiring when they are babies, but the lack of sleep for other reasons like worrying where they are, why aren't they home yet. So, yeah, it's not just when they are babies. Not even when they turn 18.

Thankyouu so much for this video❤️

Motherhood has literally given me health issues. The stress and anxiety on a daily basis, the noise, the extent that they need you and the extent of how long they need you for…”kids just being kids” takes the enjoyment out of being a parent. I regret becoming a mother every single day. It’s not worth it, what it takes away from us and our own life and our own “person”, parenting is just not worth it. It’s too much. Childbirth alone is pure hell. It’s just constantly 95% unfair, and we are raised to believe that 5% is worth it. No, it’s kinda not.

Happy belated birthday!!

🤗 P r o m o s m

Looking forward to your content

This is the motivation I needed, thank you😊

Amazing, i also created my channel back in 2020 and its still not going great but still I am trying to find my niche and hopefully be a better person at both TH-cam and in real life 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Thank you for sharing! I’m looking forward to your new chapter. I just found my own niche about 2 months ago with Supernanny reactions paired with parent education. It takes some time, but you are a lovely TH-camr to watch, & I enjoy listening to you talk about whatever ❤

Hey Tay! Your garden tour is a breath of fresh air! Your dedication and hard work truly shine through in this beautiful space. 🌸🌿 The size of your garden is impressive, and your passion for it is evident. Here's to a bountiful and delightful summer! 🌻🏡🌼

Hi how do you get it to turn on when it’s off the base?

Oh just wait until they become adults. The constant demands for money, the wacky decisions they make about who to hang around with, where to work, who to marry. And caring for you when older? Forget it.

Hello mama Bear, I hope this message finds you well. I am childless by choice but of course gamble on wanting a child. I want to say I think you are so amazing💪🏼 strong, beautiful, resilient!

Do you have a link for the three hole binder rings? Those are great.

I’m sorry mama but what about dad? If he is in the picture, he should be helping out.

Thank you for your honesty ❤

I respect parents, particularly mothers that tell us the reality of raising children, and stand up for childfree women like myself for our choice. I would absolutely LOVE to be the woman that mothers come to when they need a break from their husbands and children, whether it be spa day, shopping, nails/hair done, or just crash and take a nap at my place, or just venting.

I don’t have kids yet but I want to. My mom was a martyr-mother and set the expectation that a mother does it all herself. She never had a nanny, or a maid except when she was on doctor-ordered bedrest during a high risk pregnancy. She criticized other mothers who would drop their kids off at daycare just to get a break, not to go to work or anything. I did not agree with that because who cares - it still keeps the daycare workers in business! She put a high expectation on mothering to say the least. I already feel overwhelmed just taking care of my pets and I would never be able to live the lifestyle she did (mother, wife, pet owner and entrepreneur). It just seems like way too much tbh. But I still want kids eventually.

Hey. Love your planner. How did you bind it together? What supplies did you use?

Haha so cute (and relatable!)

Sounds like you may also need an undated daily planner for those busy days.

“functionable” is not a word lol but thanks for the review!

I love my new Plum. I use the vertical columns. You can plan you day how you want and the weekly to do list is on the side.

Has the layout been functional the way you hoped? Would love an update if you're willing!! I went with a vertical priorities for the rest of this year and I'm excited to jump in and give it a try.

God bless you and all the work you do to rear the next generation. ❤

I love pothos too. They are just so adaptable and forgiving. Yours are lovely.
