   I rememeber being at a craft group last year and a friend told her sister (who was there for the first time) that we had 7 children. When her sister got over the shock someone else said to me but you won’t have anymore will you Therese? I said I don’t know yet maybe we will have another one. You would have thought that I had said that I would do something ileagal the way everyone reacted. I was then told to stop having babies and wait for my grandchildren.

   Thanks for this article. I am going to link to this on my blog too.

   It’s so sad, isn’t it? We only have four and sometimes people ask or we volunteer that having more is always a possibility and the reactions are just so…. funny: usually ranging from disbelief to incredulity to — shall I say it — disgust. I have *yet* to hear one person say — “Wow, that’s exciting!”
