To have siblings or not to have siblings?

In this season of our podcast, We Should Be Writing, the Wits Vuvuzela team has partnered with UniversityConfessions.za on Instagram, to explore some of the student confessions posted on their feed. In this episode we listen to and unpack confession number 964 where we have someone putting the Plan B pill in their mother’s morning coffee to avoid having and being a sibling. Our hosts discuss the pro’s the con’s and everything in between when it comes to having siblings or staying an only child. From only child stereotypes, to how traditions and cultures play a role in family building, we cover it all.
