We get a lot of shit about raising a child to be an activist. Or raising a child without her mother and making her a guinea pig. Everywhere we go, people want to know how we will raise her like her mother would raise her. How can we possibly be enough for her. The poor darling.
Every day we have to fight to have people recognize that our child is being raised in a wonderful household. No, she doesn't have a woman living in our house, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a woman close by who can teach her the secret language of women everywhere. The family is changing, and children are benefiting from it everywhere.
Along with raising a well adjusted little person, we also hope to raise an activist. We are not as vocal about activism as we could be, but we hope to raise a child who stands up for what they believe in and fight for what they know to be right. We are responsible for the future, and that future looks bright.
So yes, we are raising an activist child. We are raising our child to fight for what she believes in. She may be a baby right now, but we are hopefully laying ground work for her future. A bright and activist filled future.
Someday when I have more than 5 seconds to type a post I will go into detail about how we are raising our babby. Someday...
Until Next Time
