FAMILY
CHILDREN & ROLES
By 35, I will likely not have children.
Parenthood often reduces spontaneity, as daily life becomes structured around feeding schedules, naps, and school routines. The emotional labour can also be taxing; parents are expected to act as a source of stability while managing their own stress. Consequently, parenting can feel demanding, restrained, and mentally draining.
Additionally, a career as a Paralegal may conflict with family life. It will often involve strict deadlines with limited flexibility, which may further constrain personal freedom. This could make it difficult to travel, have personal time beyond work, or pursue individual goals. Overall, the commitment required may not align well with my career ambitions and personal priorities.
