I know a couple in their mid-30s with 7 kids. You can imagine the shocked looks and comments that total strangers seem perfectly within their rights to give them. This is bad enough, but the youngest child has Downs Syndrome, and I've heard people actually say things to the effect of "it serves you right" to the parents, as if they deserved such a thing because of their audacity in choosing to have a large family. "Choice" is a one-way street, apparently.

"Choice" is a one-way street, apparently.We know a family with either 6 or 7 (higher math is not my strong suit) whose most recent has Downs. I’m sure they’ve received the same types of looks, etc. Their response: she is pregnant again. Beautiful family too.
