A difference of opinion

August 5, 2013 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

I was sitting with a good friend, watching the world go by, on a sunny, August day when a group of people–what appeared to be a family–passed by. The man was carrying a baby, the woman was pushing a stroller and three other pint-sized kids were with them, for a total of five. No one was crying and they looked to be having a pretty nice afternoon stroll. My friend says, “I hope they aren’t all theirs!” to wish I say, “I hope they are!” And we continued chatting.

    *Facepalm*.

    Having many happy and well-raised children should be seen as an accomplishment.

    I would like to give my friend the benefit of the doubt and say that she was commenting on how much work that would be, which it is, clearly. I didn’t ask her to flesh out why she said that. To me, anyway, simply saying “wow–what a lot of work” would have been the thing to do, were that the case.

    Because I overthink things, I saw this as evidence that we don’t really welcome children into our lives anymore. Not if people choose to have more than the sanctioned number.
