You Don’t Have to Be Certain You Want Kids to Have Them
BY ANDREA DELBANCO Editor in Chief, TIME for Kids
This week, I've had a hard time selecting from a robust batch of parenting-related content, so I've included twice the usual number of links below. But I'd like to call your attention to an article with a fairly provocative title: "You Don't Have to Be Certain You Want Kids to Have Them." Ruthie Ackerman, author of The Mother Code: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Myths That Shape Us, explores "maternal ambivalence" in a well-researched but personal essay that ultimately concludes: "At the end of the day, screw the studies. It's a personal choice."
How confident were you of wanting to be a parent? Ackerman was able to put a specific percentage on it. Tell me yours, or your thoughts, at andrea@time.com.
