Still Not Having Kids and Our Latest Romance-Novel Crush

A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

Breaking news: Erica is still not having kids—but she does have some fresh thoughts on the subject, especially as many of her pals tackle parenthood. And! If you’d like a shot before your chaser, let us tell you all about The Roommate, porny and praise-worthy.

Ooh, do we have so much more to share. If you want in on that, perhaps you’re interested in joining Secret Menu.

If you need some STEAM, get yourself a copy of The Roommate by Rosie Dannan (and it’s spinoff The Intimacy Experiment, out in April).

Relevant having-kids eps of this very podcast: Our original “On Choosing—and Not Choosing—Motherhood” convo and Claire’s take on new mom life and motherhood, one year in.

The piece Erica wrote for Refinery29 about deciding not to have kids and the one Grace Atwood wrote for her site The Stripe.

The installment of Anne Helen Petersen’s Culture Study newsletter that we reference (so good in general, this newsletter).
