#especially when you're writing a historical wherein motherhood wasn't always something women could opt out of

"he reaches out to protect the heroine..."

"... and the two small children in her care"
:(
#romance novel blogging#lol there are so few authors that do children effectively for me#like... lorraine heath is one#very few others#it's getting to the point where i'm almost just not even trying kid books from my faves#bc there's a strong chance that i just won't enjoy it#even the IAD book with a kid is like my least favorite IAD book#what's funny is that technically the heroine i'm writing is a mom?#but to be fair she isn't one until p late in the book#and babies are easier to keep off-page#and i'm deliberately writing a heroine who LOVES her baby#but does not find motherhood easy or natural#and like takes advantage of the privilege of having nannies#and feels kinda bad about it but is overall like i am a loving mother but being a mom isn't my favorite role#bc idk i think that's important#especially when you're writing a historical wherein motherhood wasn't always something women could opt out of#and especially in this day and age#to have heroines who like do accept motherhood and do love their kids#but aren't like... 'oh this is my favorite thing in the world'#like she's a solid mom and she's a loving mom but would she be a mom TODAY? if she had options? who knows#anyway that's another thing i just really don't often have time for kids and parenting in romance
