Re: Let\'s Talk About Family
Having a baby soon after you become an adult is way too similar to getting a checking account, becoming eligible to vote, and other things that don't require much in the way of thinking and are assumed as rights or undertaken without having to really think about it. It would be nice to put some cognition back into life and behave and think as though there's really a place for it when it comes to acting on such crucial matters as deciding whether and when to be a parent. But coming out of the heavy programming of our childhoods and the total lack of experience as adults that we've had a chance to acquire, I guess it's easier to draw on habit and preconception than bring much wisdom and understanding to bear.
