“It’s not just the absence of a child, but everything that goes with it. The rites of parenthood—the mothers’ groups, school-gate chats, Saturday sports on the sidelines, class dinners, school fund-raisers, and speech days. For you, these things are so commonplace you don’t give them a second thought. For me they are everything I’ll never have. I am an outlier. I am the incredible disappearing woman. I am childless. Less of a person. Not in the club. You take those things for granted.”
