Will I love my own child as much as my nephew

[WannaBeKeptWifey]

I was proudly part of the child free by choice club for a long time, but then when I hit my late 20s/early 30s, something changed in me 🤯 Unfortunately, my husband and I have been struggling to conceive for 2.5 years now without success. Tbh, I've never really enjoyed being around other people's kids, but now I have a 5 month old nephew and I honestly didn't know I could love a child so much! Now I worry if we do finally fall pregnant, will I love my own child as much? (I guess this is the same thing parents worry about when deciding to have a second child! 😂 ) Anyone else had a similar situation?

No matter how much you love your nephew, he won't compare to a child that you have. The love is another level.

More. So very much more. And I hope it happens for you soon!

The love for your child is different to the love fir a friends child or a sibling or a partner. Its unbreakable.

I can't really imagine what it's like to live a nephew - I want mine to have good lives and they're nice people but I don't love them in the way I'd love my own family or to be honest even close friends. I'm sure you will be fine, you are probably quite a loving person.

I never thought I could love anyone more than my nephew. Until I had my first child. It's okay - I don't expect my sister to feel the same way about my child as her own.

OP the love you have for your own DC is like an endless ocean. It has no bounds.

I like my nephews very much I am very fond of them and would help them in anyway I can should they need me. However I would cheerfully kill for my daughter. Would take a bullet for her. There is no comparison at all. I’d actually kill the nephews I am so fond of if her life depended on it. Love on another level.
