Ambivalent About Having Children.

Ambivalent About Having Children. | Annie Wright, LMFT | www.anniewright.com

As a follow up to my letter to you two weeks ago where we explored the question, “What if I never meet The One?”, today I wanted to address another question that can keep many 20, 30, and 40-something women up at night: not knowing if you want to have children or not.

In my opinion, the topic of feeling ambivalent about having children does not get nearly enough attention in our society but it’s a topic that countless women face, today likely more than ever.

So in this post, I’m going to address the issue but also provide you with a long list of prompts you can use to work through any ambivalence you may have about this topic.

Join me to keep reading this latest letter from the archive.
