Letters to the Editor
This letter is associated with the following article:
-
anecdotally, Jane Goodall raised her son among the chimps...
...and by all accounts he turned out pretty well-adjusted.
A lot of the letters in response to this sound like sour grapes to me. Yes, this writer has financial means that most mothers do not. Yes, a lot of writers for Salon seem to be white and upper-middle class.
But this article was about HER PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, and her personal experience wasn't trying to make ends meet while mothering her young children and feeling trapped; it was merely mothering her young children and feeling trapped.
Go for it. It's not forever. If it doesn't work out, you can go home again.
