Let’s talk about how we love our children
“We’re hungry for a chance to talk about our children — and there’s lots to say. The complaints, the dilemmas, the near disasters come first. They’re what’s on top, and we need to talk about them. But the hard times are not the whole story, and, somehow, it’s harder to tell of our love. We’re embarrassed, we’re ambivalent, we’re protective, we’re shy. But our love for our children is so good, so deep, so central to our hopes for a better world. The more of it that can be made visible, the better off all of us will be.”
— Pamela Haines, 2021
