Linda, I thought of you and several others in the "childless" group here at FR when I read this article. I've truly hoped that the condemnation would lie in the fact that she had children at all, NOT in that awful direction that many of these threads go in: that there' something wrong or evil about people who don't want to have children. So far, so good!
Exactly, and thanks for getting it. I've certainly been condemned here on FR for my "selfishness" in not reproducing. Given my feelings about it, I think it would have been selfish TO do so, since it would only have been to live up to others' expectations. That's what some people seem to want around here, though.
I not only don't know why this woman had kids, I have NO idea why she thought writing this article was a good idea!
