MODERN LIFE: While I was over at ABC I found a pair of stories about Modern Living: this one on women postponing childbirth and this one on couples choosing to remain childless. Both get mileage off the idea of "having it all" and how possible that really is. The latter has a little bit on the highly weird pro-childlessness types who call the child-bearing "breeders" --just as an example of the fringe opinions you'd get with any group of people. The former is a little more hopeful as the woman they profile is sort of hopeful about being able to change the workplace eventually so having a kid doesn't hurt somebody's professional life. I guess that's the idea of "having it all," though squeezing a kid in there on the side sounds like the kind of thing that's going to damage the kid. But, then again, kids are more resilient than we usually think. Interesting stuff.
