    Help coping with the judgement

    @onetech thank you so much for posting! We figure we got pregnant this cycle from pre-peak super sperm...it must have lived for like 6 or 7 days, because everything else checks out. I have never gotten pregnant accidentally while following a legit NFP method to the letter. (now, my third was a...

    @johnsdani Thanks. I actually am Catholic and I know exactly what you mean (when I said in my post that we were taking precautions to prevent, I meant we were using very conservative and normally effective NFP (FAM) method with an instructor, so this only had about a 1% chance of happening (plus...

    Help coping with the judgement

    @simsodep8388 I love emphasizing the social support network aspect. My mom is a big fan of the NYT, NPR, and other progressive publications that tend to have a slight antinatalist bent.

    @hekter Congratulations! It’s absurd that people feel inconvenienced by their family’s children. Awful. And in my family, without cause because in my 8 years of parenting, I think I have asked my mom and dad for childcare help about 4 times, and my brother watched my kids a couple times. These...
