Obviously, I'm a mom, so it might seem strange at first that I'm posting this link. But I have to say, this Newsweek article from a few weeks ago just rocked. To me, it not only defends women against impertinent childbearing inquiries, but it also takes a terrific stab at some abhorrent trends these days in mommyhood. It made me laugh, and reinforced such an important personal philosophy, which is, if and when you do ever become a parent, for everyone's sake (you, spouse, children, family, friends, the world), don't lose yourself.
My Turn: Stop Setting Alarms on My Biological Clock, by Carrie Friedman
The title alone is awesome. Now we need a companion article for those of us still unmarried...
ReplyDeleteThat WAS good! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the article.
ReplyDeleteIt is so crazy what some people say to women who are married. And since I have a married son, I am asked all the time "no grandkids yet?" Duh. I think I would talk about them if I had them.
