When i was pregnant i dealt with a lot of people giving me the whole 'kids mean you wont be able to go out/ do anything/ your lifes over' speech. I am 25 years old, just completed my second year of a university degree and waiting to go back into my third, now with a ten week old child.
Whilst i was pregnant i still managed to attend uni, get a 2:1 over all but not only that i set up the uni equestrian club and managed and organised the whole thing on top of my degree.
Now i emailed a tutor to let her know that i would have to leave her lecture bang on time to make it to nursery to pick up my little girl and i was just forewarning her as i didnt want her to think i was being rude in just up and leaving...
So imagine my surprise when i received a blunt and rather rude email stating that perhaps it would be 'better to reconsider finishing my degree', not only that i am 'cruel' for sendin my wee one to nursery so young and i should be at home focusing my attentions on her.
WAAAHHHHH! i fully intend to carry on my degree, running the horse club and living a normal life even though i now have a child. i have not neglected her as i have been accused, in fact in her 10 weeks of life she has been all over the uk, camping twice, on lots of day trips and...yes to the pub.God.forbid.
So why is it that some people think you must hide in a hole and not have a life once you have a child! well done for getting this far! rant over.
