WHY BABIES?

And why not is the response of this mother of four children, who goes into the joys, dividends, value of having children and lightly touches on the sober side of making children your career. Even when admitting that it can be no end wearing -- on time, temper and money -- she stoutly maintains that it is all good fun and eminently worthwhile. She recounts situations that her four have brought about, glosses over the bad moments by turning them into fun, and makes a good, if vernacular, brief for for multiplicity of offspring. Though there are suggestions as to how she handled her problems, this is not a practical how-to-do book, but semi-humorous item promoting propagation and its resulting benefits.
