I hate when people always ask me if this will be my last child or if I plan on getting my tubes tied after this one. Or something along the lines of STUPID like that! I mean who are they to think they have say so over my uterus? They don't. And as long as God willing I am able to produce children I will.
As long as I have a roof over their heads, food in their tummies and clothes on their backs and they are all well in health and loved eternally. I will continue to have as many children and my body and God allows.
NO ONE ELSE IS IN CONTROL OF MY UTERUS, MY CONCEPTION AND MY LIFE BUT MYSELF AND GOD!
So the next person who says something like that to me. Will get an earful because they are laying down the last straw that broke the camels back!
There are so many freaking homeschooler families I know that I would LOVE to say that too... That and "At this point, it must be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway, huh?"
First, I'm glad you're thankful for the children you're blessed with.
Second, wow; why get so angry with someone who asks a simple question? Nobody you mentioned in this post said anything to control your uterus; they simply asked what your plans were. How strange to get so angry about that.
Do you think you might have some anger issues to work on?
I agree. It's a pretty common thing to ask someone with multiple children. Even with one kid. I'd fully expect someone to ask me if I was going to have more.
uh, .like.a.drug., my thoughts EXACTLY. Hilarious.
And last I checked "God" isn't in control of what goes on inside your baby box. YOU ARE. Don't get your feathers ruffled over simple questions, more often than not people don't mean any offense by it. People just automatically assume that women with multiple children can't keep their legs shut, it's wrong, but they do. So calm it on down, madam.
People will ask, and even if you had your tubes tied and you made everyone aware of it, you would probably still have some people ask you..because sometimes, people try to make conversation, relating to your kids, or pregnancy, in an attempt to find some common ground with you. It doesn't mean it's with malicious intent. Granted, sometimes, it could be, but that doesn't mean it always is.
This is why I don't go out of my way to talk to anyone. It's just not worth it. If you already assume you know what I'm getting at, I can't possibly compete. others, I'm sure, feel that way too.
A-freaking-men! I have 3 children and we are trying for our 4th. This will be my last pregnancy but that's by my choice. So many people feel they have the right to tel me not to have any more children or that 3 is enough. I don't feel my home is complete and if my husband is on board with having another child and we can provide for this child then who is anyone to tell us we aren't allowed to have more or that we shouldn't?
I feel similar... and I can relate... sometimes it's not the fact of them asking "simple questions" it's how they say it and what exactly they say. Having several or multiple children may not float everyones boat, but in all consideration they don't have the right to judge or be crude about parents who are financially able, let alone ready to have a large family.
And anyone who knows anything about motherhood... it goes back to normal size. That's the beautiful wonders of the female body.
I know someone I went to school with, she's 27 and has 7 under 7 with one set of twins. She has the personal belief that God opens and closes your womb and that you will have as many children as the Lord decides. This is along the same lines as the Duggars. I've heard people say alot of things about her. But isn't it her decision? I'd love to have just one baby. But I can't. As long as a person can provide for their children, what does it matter to anyone else how many they have.
