My wife & I were each only children. She suffered from MS & feared passing it on (it would later prove fatal).
We were at a church social & a mother of teenage girls asked us if we had children (we were in our mid 40’s). We said, no. What about your brothers & sisters? We’re both only children, we replied.
“How could you do this to your MOTHERS!!?” she hissed, and
stormed off.
..Typifying the idiocy of the ignorant. Every person's situation is different. Not everyone is parent material.
