I just read the wonderful post my grandma. Her story really moved me, as we need more of that in our society. Those statements about there being more to life than kids are often silenced by all the pronatalism in all arenas. We are more than baby makers, we have more to offer the over populated world than just another slaved to work in the global factory. I am sad at times that the world is not different, that all paths are not honored equally. We must have more women speaking the truth about children, separating them from the guilt of speaking against their own children, and understanding that they were a person with hopes dreams and ambitions before they had kids.
Where are all the voices like this grandmother? She brings a peace to the world, with her wisdom, but society is too worried about "having it all" to notice that they might not really want what "all" has to offer.
On top of stopping life to have kids and never offering anything to all the problems we hear on the news- or often don't hear. Thank you for sharing the story of a very rare and honest woman.
