Title: I wanted to cry with relief
Product review: It is a *choice* to have children, not a right and not a duty. My husband and I have chosen not to - we can't afford the time or the money and (here's my big, dirty secret) I don't want to! I would never suggest to someone else that she should *not* have children - it's a choice. Too bad I'm not granted the same respect. I resent "women's issues" meaning "mothers' issues." Am I now some sort of third gender? I am so glad this book was written to give voice to what we all know happens every day. The Baby Boon raises issues that many people would just as soon keep quiet - and it's about time somebody wrote about them. I especially appreciated the story about the New York Times columnist who had the temerity to suggest that maybe life was about making choices and was promptly ripped to pieces in the press. How dare anyone suggest that motherhood comes with any adverse consequences?
