We say "children are a blessing" - But do we mean it?


Rudeness and “breeders” * Bettnet.com: "What’s crazy is that these are not isolated incidents. From my experience, it’s really the norm for mothers to speak of children that way. I was at a playgroup one time where ALL the women there agreed that they were “done” having kids. Two were pregnant and were planning to be sterilized when they went to the hospital to have the baby. The other women’s husbands had vasectomies scheduled. None of them were older than 32.
What’s most disturbing is that all of this was discussed in front of their toddlers. So weird.

This is a comment from a post on a great blog I've been reading lately. The original post discussed the willingness of others to express their opinions, regardless of how RUDE it may be. Haven't they ever heard the phrase "If you can't say something nice. don't say anything at all." ??? Even my little ones know THIS!!

My friends and I, Catholics with larger families, are constantly affronted by women like this, who announce to the world with some sort of pride, that THEY are "done" breeding. I attribute this to the influence of Planned Parenthood on the culture, as well as the Oprah factor. Don't expect it to improve anytime soon, Kris, now the environmentalists are chiming in accusing children of harming the environment.
We have to continue being salt and light to a sick culture. I wrote a post about a town I visited where dogs were obviously replacing children.
