Hello! I am four months and was just fired/quit my ob-gyn. I have had a very emotional experience so far and not taken well to people “telling me” what my priorties should be now that I am pregant. I feel like a human incubator — that you may as well plug me into a wall. This mostly came up over a trip to a region of South America in which yellow fever is an issue, instead of having my questions anserewed, people questioned me. This trip is a life long dream of mine. Any feminist articles on the idea that once we are pregnant we should cease to exsist as an induvidual? Help!

Before we can teach our boys about women’s roles, we need to explode some of the myths that are perpetuated on our children and us. One of them being that children need siblings, that only children are lonely, bossy, dependent (and the stereotypes go on). That there is something wrong with the single child family is, as you stated, “how parental beliefs can conflict with what society teaches our children”
