I've wanted to be a mommy for so so so long. It really made me feel whole having my daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959852 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:07:33 +0000 mediagirl 959852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. More than anything else, being a mom to this wonderful little girl is my calling in life. I have to work to help us live but every free second I have is spent with her, being the best Mom I can to her. </p> <p>I didn't know it would be this way until she was put in my arms the first time. Then, I knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959831 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:03:32 +0000 heartonastring 959831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I love my daughter to death. But that doesn't mean I love motherhood to death. I feel like I have a lot to offer in a variety of areas. Being K's mom is great, but it's not my calling in life :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959817 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:01:17 +0000 mrsjyw 959817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It absolutely is, but it is also not my only calling. I live and breathe for DS, as we all do as mothers, but it is not by motherhood alone that I define myself as a person. It is a HUGE, uncontrollable instinctual part of who I am, but not ALL of who I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959807 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:59:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 959807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. As soon as I had my first LO I fell into the role so easily and naturally. Not to say that there aren't tough days but I feel like the whole parenting thing comes naturally to me. It's strange to think because I never imagined it that way but I guess when I think back there might have been signs that I was just oblivious to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959804 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:59:23 +0000 DillonLion 959804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'd say so. But I also really like working. I hope she appreciates that about me as a mother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959790 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:55:27 +0000 MrsKoala 959790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. I haven't always felt the need to have children (that didn't hit until my mid-20s). Since I'm not a mom (yet), I can't say that it is my calling until I meet my child. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. I think I can be a great mom either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959652 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:22:01 +0000 Adira 959652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. I didn't even want kids until somewhat recently. I love love love my son and I love being his mom, but being a mother is definitely not my calling. I don't really think I believe in callings. I try to find happiness in everything I do. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-959620 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:15:56 +0000 Aimed 959620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Even when I was little my dolls were my 'sisters' not my 'children'! I adore my child and being a mother is another role, like being a daughter and wife for me. It is an important part of a larger tapestry of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-958322 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:01:03 +0000 Grace 958322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a calling to be a mom. Having said that, I didn't think I had a calling to be a wife, but now, I definitely feel I have a calling to be DH's wife. So perhaps once LO is here, I'll be able to say I have a calling to he his/her mom (specifically, as opposed to a mom in general). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-958294 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 07:49:54 +0000 wonderstruck 958294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Part of me feels guilty for saying that, like it's the wrong answer...but I don't mean it badly. He was planned for, I wanted him and he is very much adored, I love being his mom. But I was never the, "Oh, I can't wait to be a mom!" type. I never thought about having kids when I was younger, I was always more focused on what kind of job I wanted to have, and getting one that would help others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-958112 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 06:26:06 +0000 looch 958112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it isn't. But being a mom isn't the only role I play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-958063 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 02:58:35 +0000 loveisstrange 958063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I will honestly say that before I got pregnant, I wasn't sure I even wanted kids.</p> <p>I love her and I will never regret becoming a mother, but it's definitely not my calling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-958003 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:13:52 +0000 HLK208 958003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No doubt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-958000 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:11:31 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 958000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...yes, but not my only calling. I think I was called to do a few things in life. Parenting is one that I prioritize other anything else obviously :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957980 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:54:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 957980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, whenever people used to call me what my "dream" or "calling" was, I'd say sheepishly, "to be a mom" - I've always always wanted to be a nurturing, loving, available mom... the type that puts little notes into lunchboxes for their kiddos, hehe. I guess cuz I never got that growing up. I enjoy working, but it really is a means to an end for me. I'd do anything for my kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957965 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:30:26 +0000 HabesBabe 957965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love it, but it's not my calling. just like being a daughter, wife, cousin, or niece isn't my calling, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957948 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:17:11 +0000 MrsStar 957948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely, always wanted to have a family! I'm glad I found dh and we reached my goal of being "young" parents even if lo wasn't planned for another 2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957945 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:12:29 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 957945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I cannot wait for the day I become somebody's mama I love being a speech therapist but I plan to leave it behind once babies come along. I wouldn't say being a parent is my husband's calling exactly but I know he wants to be a dad quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957932 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 22:54:38 +0000 Running Elley 957932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely is! It's a lot harder than I thought but its truly fulfilled me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957930 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 22:50:59 +0000 sarac 957930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A calling for sure. I could never have lived a full and happy life without being a mother. But I feel very called to have a career one day as well. I need both for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957745 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:11:12 +0000 jhd 957745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think it is part of my calling...one of several things I feel called to do. I am not yet a mom &amp; truly feel like there is something missing until that happens... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957723 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:04:07 +0000 doodlepoodle 957723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% yes! It's the best and most important thing I ever have or ever will do in my life! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957715 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:57:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 957715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I think I have other purpose(s) as well but being my kids' mom is definitely my calling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957712 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:56:18 +0000 chopsuey 957712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I've wanted to be a mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957695 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:52:03 +0000 MrsRoo 957695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being a mom is absolutely my calling in life. It's all I've ever wanted to do. When I was a kid and was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said that I wanted to be a mommy. DH and I are working really hard right now for me to be a WAHM so I can still contribute to the household income without having to leave LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957680 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:44:08 +0000 anewme 957680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think being a wife and mother<br /> Is my calling. I had a very fulfilling job before I was<br /> Both but I gave it up to be 100% present<br /> And wouldn't look back.. I couldn't see myself Giving up being a mom for my job. It's grounded and centered me.<br /> I don't practice any faith so I think being a mother and<br /> Their role model gives me that strength and guidance to<br /> Do good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957664 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:38:47 +0000 stargal 957664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like being P's mom is what I was meant to do. Couldn't imagine not being a mom really. He is def my purpose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-being-a-mom-or-dad-your-calling-in-life#post-957663 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:38:26 +0000 Bao 957663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I've dreamed of being a mom since I was about 3. I played with dolls, and played house throughout my entire childhood. I wanted nothing more than to become a mom. </p>
