Why I’m Choosing Single Motherhood | Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show Podcast

On this episode: Jamilah sits down with author Ruby Russell to talk about her new book, Doing It All: The Social Power of Single Motherhood. They talk about the ways that single mothers upend the patriarchy - and why that’s a good thing.
Lucy, Elizabeth, and Zak also circle up for a round of triumphs and fails - including an epic saga involving a hospital in the Philippines.

You’re not choosing single motherhood. You are choosing a broken home for your children. You are putting your own desires about the well being of your child.
