On WNYC, and we're going to end today with one of our occasional call-ins of ambivalence,

this time on the question of having kids.

Every now and then, we invite listeners to call in and tell us about things you're

generally torn about almost every day. There's some news story about how having children

as a decision more and more people are delaying or foregoing, right? And today, we're inviting

you to share your inner conflict on the air.

Why are you or why were you on the fence about becoming a parent recently?

Talk us through your pros and cons in your own reasoning, even if you've landed by now.

212-433 WNYC, 212-433-9-692. And because our news-oriented segments went a little long today,

we've only got about 10 minutes for this. So call right in and you'll get right on. And you can get right to the point about what made you or what is making you ambivalent about becoming a parent.

212-433 WMYC, 212, 433-9-6-92.

And this can be about someone close to you if it's not new yourself.

Maybe you're the potential grandparent in waiting or just talking to your friends.

212, 433, 9692.

And as always, we do these ambivalence call-ins because we want to create space for uncertainty in public

when so much of the discourse these days, political and otherwise, is about doubling down

and picking sides, being kind of a cult of certainty moment in this country. So we want to hear

what it sounds like when people aren't sure. And on this issue in particular, less political

and more personal, but definitely with political

overtones.

You know about the pro-natalist movement, quote unquote.

You know about fear of what kind of world you're bringing your kids into for climate
