Milk Drunk: What to Expect When You're Not Expecting - Paperback

by Danielle Schwartz (Author)

For generations, expectations for a "good" life in America have remained the same: go to college, get a job, find a partner, get married, and have children. But what happens if someone decides to accomplish all of those things except have a child?

In Milk Drunk: What to Expect When You Are Not Expecting, Danielle Schwartz details her very fulfilling but child-free life with her husband, Jim, while facing constant criticism about their family decision.

By sharing conversations with friends, family, coworkers, and even strangers, Milk Drunk explores a wide array of topics and opinions. Some people view Danielle as strong and independent for knowing who she is and what she wants, while others believe her choice is "disappointing God" and attempt to convince her that as a woman, she "must use God's given gift" of fertility.

Milk Drunk: What to Expect When You Are Not Expecting explores a slew of opinions surrounding the sensitive and personal topic of remaining child-free and provides insight for those who either need support in a similar decision or do not understand why someone they know or love has turned down the choice of parenthood.
