Should I Have Another Baby With My Ex?

This week on The Big Sister Hotline , we hear from a listener who is nearly 40, co-parenting with her ex, and longing for another baby. They still orbit each other - fighting, sleeping together, even going to kink workshops - but she knows how much the arrival of their first child strained their relationship. Should she risk diving in again, or is she courting disaster? In classic Clem style, we unpack the myths of the nuclear family and its role in upholding capitalism, why babies don’t “fix” relationships, and the importance of building a village around motherhood regardless of the model your family takes. We also talk about grieving the children we may never have, the pressure of the ticking clock, and remembering that a woman’s worth isn’t defined by her fertility. It’s messy, it’s complicated, and it’s exactly the kind of real talk you come here for. If you would like to submit a question for a future episode, please email bigsisterhotline@gmail.com .
