Changing Perspectives on Giving and Parenting

This chapter explores the narrator's changing views on giving money to homeless people, deciding to have children, and disciplining children. They reflect on how their partner influenced their belief that helping those in need is more important than judging their spending habits. They also discuss how reading about the myths and regrets of motherhood made them reconsider the idea of having children just because of a great partner. Finally, they talk about how becoming a parent and researching child-rearing altered their perspective on disciplining children.
