Hello lovely people! 
Let me start off with a bow, this forum is simply wonderful.
I myself don't have any children, and don't plan to have them very soon. Both me and my boyfriend are adamant about finishing college -first-
I'm currently in Art School to become an illustrator/freelance painter/comic artist, while my beautiful boy is busy studying to become an English teacher =)
I'm 19, turning 20, and I live in the far Eastern part of the Netherlands - which is, at the moment, quite cold! Brr!
Though I'm nowhere near going into pregnancy yet, I do know that I'd love to have a homebirth or a waterbirth =) My mum brought both me and my sister into the world in the comfort of her own home, something theat greatly appeals to me. My children will have no ears pierced, no parts cut off (I'm a quite vocal intactivist), will be breastfed and will have names that are actually from my country or at least common here XD Those poor darlings whose parents have given them all manner of English names, which are constantly mispronounced, misspelled, and so on and so forth.
So yeah, I mightn't be a mummy myself yet, but I do have experience with children
When my cousins were younger, I used to babysit them lots, and there's been a babyboom in my neighbourhood about two years ago, and with all those toddlers I've got plenty of clients >w<
So, apart from having no children of my own (hell, college just started, I'm only nineteen at the moment, and my current job doesn't really provide me with the kind of dough needed to care for your children properly), I'm hoping I'll have a delightful time here =) I absolutely love children, and I love talking and learning about them =)
So, hello all of you! Tania's the name and I wish you all the very best and a delightful time watching your little ones develop into wonderful people
