I Love My Baby, and...I'm Unpacking the Decision to be Done Having Kids
“Family planning” is kind of a weird term. It encompasses so many different aspects of, well, planning for your family. But is there really a clear definition? What if you’re the world’s worst planner?! What then?!?!
For some, they have a very clear idea of what family planning looks like. For others, they thought they had a clear idea, but something happens along their journey in parenthood that totally changes things for them. There’s no right or wrong way to approach it, but it can feel l like every decision you make weighs a million pounds.
On this week’s episode, Erin and Ruby touch on one aspect of family planning in particular: the decision to not have anymore children. And with this decision can come an onslaught of every single emotion out there - relief, resentment, sadness, guilt, grief…we’ve got ‘em covered!
Loving the show? We'd love your feedback!
