I haven't thought about it to be honest, probably because the idea of being a mother/'settling down' makes me feel old, not having strong parental influences growing up as well as the fact that the concept of family wasn't existent in my upbringing. I do like kids though and really enjoy working with them through various capacities such as mentoring and education (and will probably continue to do so in the future). If I do decide to have kids at some stage, early-mid 30s seems ideal for me. At this moment in time as well as the near future, training to be neurologist (even before I specialise, I'll be at uni for at least another 5-6 years), mentoring, learning/research, writing, working on a few community projects and travelling is more appealing to me (as well as spending my free time watching watching films and soccer, rowing and contemporary dance lol). I'm very much enjoying the single lady life haha (at least I'll enjoy while I'm still young) My priorities can probably be attributed to my upbringing, where having achievable aspirations/goals got me through the difficult times rather than the dream of having a family or kids.
Although I do recognise that being a parent (especially a mother) can be a very meaningful experience for many people, I feel that the societal idolization of being a parent/mother is problematic to an extent. It's great that people appreciate the sacrifices that parents and particularly mothers make, but the romanticization it makes it very difficult for a woman to choose not to be a mother and for people to respect such a choice. I've been told that I'm making a selfish choice, that my role as a women is to be a mother, that I have the body parts to do so as well as that marriages or relationships at an old age are meaningless (since the objective of a relationship is to have kids/family too many people, advancements in medical technology has allowed people to delay having kids by 5-10 years but there still is a 'deadline' to a large extent).
Also the idealization parenthood/motherhood, has also created idealized versions of what it means to be one, that there is such as a perfect mother/parent, every time you failed to pack a lunch box, you failed to send a kid to a soccer practice, you failed to attend a parent-teacher interview, you leave a marriage, you have failed essentially because you are not a real parent/mother. If a mother chooses to take up a part time job, because she want to feel young and make some money, makes her seem like an uncaring, frigid women who doesn't care about her children. The narrative created by the idolization makes such women shackled by circumstances, with people telling them that they are horrible mothers, horrible people, because they make the slightest compromise, don't make their child their highest priority or don't treat their child as a special snowflake all the time. (obviously this is changing with the rise of choice/lean in feminism, where the repercussions of women having kids while having a career is reduced, but the social norms still persist to the same extent, hopefully similar changes will be made to men in regards to maternity leave in the near future).
