✨ The grand finale of the graphic novel series has arrived: The Adventure Zone: Story and Song. For everyone who’s laughed, cried, and adventured with us, this one’s for you. From the McElroys and Carey Pietsch, this final chapter brings it all home: the bonds, the battles, the story that started it all.
I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.
Not to be a crazy radical or anything, but children deserve to be deeply wanted by their parents.
Children shouldn’t be a “stage” in life that everyone is obligated to fulfill; childrearing is not for everyone. More importantly, children shouldn’t be state-enforced punishments for “irresponsible” sexual behavior.
Children are people with thoughts and feelings just like the rest of us. They are conscious of the way people treat them. And they can certainly tell when they are unwanted and/or resented.
