Normalizing war tests a young couple's plans for children
Kathleen Norris responds to Donna Barton of Pasadena, 22, and her 27 year old sailor husband, about delaying pregnancy during wartime. Norris warns war cannot be normalized and urges Donna to maintain independence and avoid heavy childrearing stress if the husband may be away or harmed. She highlights risks of stepfamilies and the need for practical sacrifice.
Better to Wait in Wartime Roles and Family Plans
Miss Norris counsels a wife during war that bearing a child while a husband is at sea risks loss of protection if he dies. Donna and John face balancing work and motherhood, with John on a destroyer in constant peril. Donna fears remarriage may strain affection for another man's child and disturb family happiness.
