Do I want to have kids in the future?
Monday, August 25th
This is a topic I found myself thinking about a lot lately.
When I was a child, I wanted to have kids when I grew up, but I figured out I thought that only because I was influenced by my family. A few years later I decided that I would never have kids for two main reasons: I was scared of being pregnant and giving birth, and I hated being around children.
When I started to figure out more about myself and my sexuality, the idea of becoming a mother totally dissappeared, because I thought that, as a queer person, I wasn't going to be able to have kids anyway (also because, in Italy, gay people don't have a lot of rights).
In the last few years, though, I found out about the different ways a queer couple can have kids (aside from through adoption). I found myself smiling looking at the happy couples on my screen, but I just thought it was because I was happy that they could realize their dream.
But when I talked about it to my friends, I felt this strange feeling in my chest, maybe sadness? Or hope? I started thinking about possible future scenarios about a hypothetical wife and, perhaps, a kid. I talked to a friend of mine about this earlier and it was always so confused and skeptical.
I have a little brother and a sister and, as the oldest daughter, I always had to take care of them. I would always go crazy, and that's the main reason why I'm scared and not totally sure about having kids. What if I'm a terrible mother? And what if I don't know how to handle them? I hope I'll figure this out.

“Through” isn’t necessary, but it’s also not wrong.

I talked to a friend of mine about this earlier and {it was | we were} always so confused and skeptical.
What does “it” refer to? A discussion could be “confused,” but only a person can be skeptical. The sentence will work if you change “it was” to “we were.”

And what if I don't know how to handle them?
