Btw, I’m seeing a lot of women like her in the corporate world, where the desire to have a child is stronger than wanting to have a family.
And to me, the former is incredibly selfish thinking. Having children should organically come out of being in a healthy relationship. That’s ideally.
To Isha’s credit she got married, albeit to a low value CAC, but at least she tried. I work around well educated attractive women in their late 30s/40s, who constantly change the goal posts:
“There are no good men out there.”
“I’m focusing on my career.”
“It’s not a woman’s goal to become a man’s wife.”
And half of them are talking about going down the sperm donor route or just finding the next man to knock them up with no commitment.
Again, it’s pure vanity. There are orphans, children in the foster care system who would love to be adopted by these well off women, but deep down, they just want a mini me as an accessory to show off.
IMO people deny there instincts. It is a natural instinct for a man and a woman to want to have/create children. It is an instinct that god placed inside of you because that is what you were created for....to reproduce. Not to collect material things or make a whole lot of money or to have a big mansion and etc,
So people ignore the instinct and put off finding a mate and having kids hoping that the instinct and urge to reproduce can be quenched with material things. But it can't no more different than your body wanting to live or your body wanting oxygen.
The problem is that this instinct kicks in harder and harder the older you get and as humans no matter how successful we are as the older we get, we begin to recognize our mortality and wanting to leave something on this earth as an accomplishment that we had influence creating. Another thing it doesn't matter what material things you have because when its time to go (die) you understand that either someone will take the material items or someone will give those things to others. So as a human you prefer to give those things to people you love and who better than your offspring.
Real talk my cousin is a reproductive doctor so many of the things with IVF I understand from talking with her. My cousin mentioned that after Covid the demand for IVF babies (donors or non donor sperm and non donor egg processes) increased (mainly with folks 35 and older) and especially with black folks (normally this was a lane whites, Asians and Indians went).
She stated this was because there was so much death with covid and people had to finally unplug from the matrix, they were forced to work from home or were laid off, restaurants closed and TV shows weren't on or were showing reruns, no live sports either. All the dumb ass bread and circus distractions ended. So people had to look in the mirror and ask were they really happy with what they accomplished in life or happy with all the material things. A lot of folks and couples looked in the mirror and acknowledged that they weren't really happy and the material things just pacified them. Before Covid they had looked for a perfect time to have children and suddenly 5, 10, 15 and 20 years had passed and now they had difficulty having children or they originally had difficulty having children and used material items to soothe the pain and now decided to do something about it.
