Why would you want to say something to someone who is ambivalent about having a child?
Misery loves company?

Couple weeks ago, I attended Rebecca Walker's reading for her new book. Interesting lady. I could appreciate many of her stances and reactions.

Err, I think she was known as a strong feminist and not very pro-having-children. Or something.

Yeah, and that's why I appreciate her honesty at this point, after having a child (or two?). . .and which annoys me about the dogmatic people getting on her case about some issues.

There may not be a perfect time etc, but there are some circumstances where having a child will make things worse for both you and the child. And a child is an 18 year commitment, not something to be taken lightly.

Having a child is a lifetime commitment!
