As we all know, people have a lot of opinions they’ll happily share without any prompting whatsoever. Well, Katie Garrity is sick of the unsolicited feedback she’s getting about one issue in particular: the number of kids she’s decided to have. “When the intrusive questions about my family planning start rolling in from strangers (or doctors), I feel like telling them to kick rocks and mind their own business. I hate every single one of the tired stereotypes only children get labeled with. But usually I just smile politely and say something along the lines of, ‘Oh no — she’s it for us!’ while gritting my teeth. Really, though I’d like to go on a diatribe of my own.”
For all the one-and-done parents – and everyone else really – read and enjoy.
