Since the men of "Love Is Blind" missed the memo: women are allowed to be unsure about kids. On Season 10, cast member Emma Betsinger goes into detail about her precancerous birthmarks — how she had 10 surgeries by the age of 7 to get them removed, how they left permanent scarring, and how she still has a high chance of developing melanoma. This life experience is one of the many reasons why she's not entirely sure if she wants kids of her own. But for the men in the pods, that's still not good enough.
"But you'd be such a good mom," Betsinger's potential life partners assure her, an inspirational soundtrack playing somewhere in the background. The point these men seem to be missing is that you could be a good mom and still not want kids. Here's how our editor Chandler Plante felt watching Betsinger's situation unfold — as someone with an illness herself.
