Search Results: what's more appealing

Background: My life has done a complete 360° since God put me in time out to heal for the last three years. I have ignited new passions and rekindled old passions during my journey.

I now have the privilege of pursuing higher education or taking time off to start a family. I am undecided. I feel like the only thing I TRULY want for my life is to be a mommy but the world has sooooo much more to offer through education.

There are many opportunities that have been presented to me that makes the idea of holding off on children more appealing even if I'd prefer to have a baby now. There is also fear in becoming a first-time new mommy. It's a lot of work and I would most likely be doing all the domestic labor by myself or with a nanny.

There's a lot to consider. If you are currently a parent, I really want to hear from you. All opinions are welcome of course. So should I take a break from schooling and focus on becoming a mommy or finish my Master's and Ph. D program then settle down with baby?

I've included a poll to make things easier if you don't feel like writing. I enjoy reading what you all have to say though.

Or would that eliminate the thrill of the chase? Is there a way a girl should tell you what she wants that would be less off-putting and more appealing?

Ex 1, she indirectly lets you know what she likes by talking about what she's learned what she needs based on what other men succeeded or failed to do, whereby you can infer her needs and decide whether you can or want to be better than them.

Ex2, she directly says she likes it when men do xyz, and asks you if that works for you.
