6. "Your right to not have children trumps my right to be a Grandma"

My Mom said that to me on my wedding day in 1974. I am an Only Child, by choice, and I am sure my Mom had busy bodies blasting her for that back in the 1950s. Personally, I LIKED being an "only".

My husband and I decided on 2 kids before we married, and after those 2 he had a vasectomy. We also had 2 GIRLS, so we heard all the time, "When are you going to try for a BOY????" We told them no more. We had the TWO kids, we wanted, and could care less what their GENDERS are. You have to be BLUNT with them. YOUR choice, your business, and NOBODY ELSES BUSINESS, including your own family members.

I am also a former Catholic and actually had to defend my own parents for their CHOICE in Catholic school. What people do in their bedrooms, their choice of family size, contraception, abortion, sexual orientation, etc., is nobody else's business, including POLITICIANS, and RELIGION. In a free society, we don't make babies for the Fatherland. That is what this makes me think of.

As a woman, and a mother, I would defend whatever choice you make for yourself.
