As a 28 year old female I often get asked when I am going to have children. Most of my friends do, but I don’t and I am not ashamed of this. Whereas my friends have spent time mastering the art of motherhood, I have focused on studying and building my own career. I have built a business, which in my opinion is not much different to having a child.
I have an internet child called CouponsHelper. CouponsHelper came into my life in July 2011.
- I had been working on it from October 2010 before launch (let’s call this part the pregnancy stage).
- Every since its launch date it has needed much nurture, love, care and dedication.
- It has cost me money (maybe not in diapers but still)
- It has kept me up many nights.
- Cause me concern, worry and stress.
- I post photos of CouponsHelper on Facebook and people like my photos
- Where my friends are now worrying about which school to send their children to, I worry about which social network Couponshelper should appear more on.
- When my friends worry about bullies, I worry about critics.
- It makes me think about its future and what it is going to be
So if anyone asks me what have I been doing with my life and why don’t I have any children, nowadays I reply that I do have a child… it’s name: couponshelper.
