So are you done?
Yesterday Emma, my 5 year old, was invited to a birthday party for one of her classmates at a local bowling alley. We went and I stayed out of the way with Jack and Annie, I packed a lunch for Jack and I since Emma would be having pizza with the party. All the little yuppy moms ate piece after piece of pizza and not one of them could offer Jack a piece which normally wouldn't annoy me, like I said I packed a lunch for he and I as not to be intrusive, but not one of those moms had anything nice to say about me, the crazy woman with the 6 children. They all pointed and whispered or even came up to me to tell me wow you are crazy or now you are done right? I am trying to find the humor in the onslaught of questions about when I will stop having children. From total strangers to family and close friends. So are you done yet? Did one of you get fixed? Or even the lecture about how we should now focus on raising the ones we have(because they clearly are stuck in suspended animation until I am done having babies). What the heck. Is there something I am not seeing? Am I doing something wrong. I love my children, I make the effort to raise them to be loving, well mannered, grateful and respectful people. I get no assistance from anyone. I have not borrowed money from anyone for several years now. My children all get well rounded life experiences with extra curricular activities that I myself cart them around to. I feed them balanced meals and teach them about healthy choices. What would it matter if I had 20 children. Why oh why do people think they get the right to control my uterus. The worst part of it all is we are done, my husband has decided he wants NO MORE so I am having to learn to accept that and all these rude people make that hard. Ok that is my rant for the day, now I go back to being grateful :P
