As I quickly write this while my beautifuI7-week old daughter is sleeping, I realize the choices my friend talked about were some of the most difficult decisions my husband and I ever had to make. And, as Mallory Rose grows, I'm sure there ·will be many more. My friend was right, though. Parent hood in the 90s is all about choices - all the way from childbirth methods to the perfect brand of baby wipes. Today's expectant parents - signing up for prepared childbirth classes and deliberating over cloth or disposable dia pers - can hardly imagine a time when mothers-to-be simply followed doctor's orders with little understanding of what was happening to them, and fathers ner vouslywaited in smoke-filled rooms for the news of whether the child was a boy or girl. Fortunately, parents today do have access to more re sources than previous generations did, and society urges both mothers and fathers to take an active and informed role in every aspect of raising children. TIlankfully, we do have a choice, but what ifthe choices we make are not politically correct or in line with what's socially acceptable or popular? ~ ....
