Hello feminist MNers - I am a lurker on this section and I wondered if some of you ladies could give me a femimist perspective on only child families:
Society's judgement of mothers with only one child. I guess this is a subset of society's judgement of mothers and women?
I do not want acquaintances/family to tell me that I am selfish etc - especially when it is my DH who does not want a second.
What is a strong robust answer to such intrusive questions?
The relationship dynamic wrt to choosing to have more DC. EG - two yes votes = a DC (apart from a woman can overrule a man once a DC conceived) and one no = no DC.
I feel like I have given up a lot to have DC and have ended up with just the chance to have 1.
The relevant background thread is here.
