Am I being too sensitive?
I read an article on babble today by Keri Fisher that really left an impression on me. I had to read it, the title definitely caught my attention: “The Not-So-Happy Accident - I wish I wasn’t pregnant.”
I really felt like cursing when I was reading her story! But what else should I expect, she posted her story at the “Bad Parent” column. So at least she doesn’t try to deny it, and I give her some credit for that!
In my opinion anyone has the right to plan their family and stop having kids when they see fit, but if they find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy, just make sure to have your tubes tied during that baby’s delivery or even better get your husband to have a vasectomy. But to say that you don’t want that unplanned baby just because you thought you were done having kids and according to her, her new pregnancy would delay her “freedom,” it quite amazed me and probably tells a lot about her character.
Here is what she sad: “It seemed silly and shortsighted to think about how close I had been to being done with babies. This summer my boys were going to be in camp full time. I had been looking forward to my freedom. With every milestone Ronan crossed, I had felt excited rather than sad. No more nursing? Hooray! Done with the high chair? Good riddance! Sayonara crib! See you later sippy cup!”
Oh for goodness sake, her other two kids are 3 and 2 years old (it is posted on her website), so go figure what freedom she will be delaying at this point in her life by having another child!!! It is to me quite shocking that someone would reject a child on those grounds…. Huh! Full time summer camp for 3 year old and 2 year old toddlers? Really!!! I didn’t even know this was an option!
It is not that she was someone at a difficult place in her life when she found out that she was pregnant again. According to her she had no reason to not keep her baby with the exception that she didn’t want it…. “I was married, two wonderful sons, fairly young and fairly stable. I had no reason not to keep this baby. Except, of course, that I didn’t want it.”
Can she be any more selfish? Probably not! Her new baby will take too much of her time, and she will not be able to keep up with the news from the tabloids that she reads! What a pity!!!
She definitely made me sick, especially when I think how hard it is for so many women to get anywhere near where she has.
