OUR LAST BINDING COMMITMENT?

'Most Americans are free to choose or change spouses, and the middle class has at least a modicum of freedom to choose or change careers. But we can never choose or change our children. They are the last binding obligation in a culture that asks for almost no other permanent commitments at all.' 
Jennifer Senior, All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenting, p.44.
