What do Marriage and Motherhood have to do with the Happiness of Women?
Video now out
Hi everyone, I flew to Charlottesville last week to speak at a debate on marriage and motherhood hosted by the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. Here’s the video of the event (it was so nice to meet so many MMM listeners in the audience!)
Thank you for making the trip to Virginia, Louise! It was great to meet you!
Loved your point about “toughening up”. One of the most encouraging thoughts I had when I was caring for newborns was reminding myself how easy it is compared to my ancestors. My baby isn’t sleeping or just decides to cry for an hour? Well, at least I’m not in a tenement or sharecropper shack with nothing to eat but moldy potatoes. It really did help to keep things in perspective
