I am very much in love and in resonance with this piece Elaine.
Two things I want to touch on:
1. "And maybe that’s O.K. Maybe it’s O.K. to be influenced by people’s whose opinions you care about. We don’t live in a vacuum, so why should the decision to have kids be made in a vacuum?" I can resonate with your line of thinking here. I am hard headed and I dislike following the norm just because it is, and have never really desired having my own kids even though I love young children and teaching them.
2. Wanting to have kids but only with a partner that you want to build a life and family with. I could not disagree either, it's a tough choice with lots of variables to consider
