Choosing Not to Have Children with Jeanne Safer

Dr. Jeanne Safer discusses her decision not to have children. Jeanne describes the intense internal and external pressure she felt to have kids, and the sense that choosing not to meant she was somehow deficient in her ability to love. She talks about how she came to her decision and affirm that having kids was not right for her. She also names the ambivalence that all women feel, and how hard it can be for mothers to acknowledge the part of them that still wishes they did not have kids.
