]]> Comment on Uncomfortable with term ‘planned’ pregnancy by Corinne http://dashjr.org/blog/2007/05/01/uncomfortable-with-term-planned-pregnancy/comment-page-1#comment-2390 Corinne Sat, 28 Mar 2009 21:21:07 +0000 http://dashjr.org/blog/2007/05/01/uncomfortable-with-term-planned-pregnancy/#comment-2390 This is the first chapter of Mary Ann Kuharski's book "Parenting with Prayer", called 'Don't You Believe in Family Planning?' Ask any parents today -- especially those daring to have more than the socially "correct" two -- if they've ever encountered hostility, and chances are you'll get more than an earful. "We weren't prepared for the negative reaction and intimidation," one young couple of three small preschoolers recalled. "What hurt the most were the remarks made by the very people we thought would be supportive -- our own family and friends," confided the wife. Listen in during any chat session at a "Mom's Morning Out" coffee hour at church and you'll hear the same: Christian couples wishing to have more than the socially "correct" two are challenged and chided as never before. Part of the problem is a "me-first" culture that projects the notion that having children will drain and deprive you. Sometimes it does. But most of us still believe it's worth every ounce of effort. More than that, as people of faith we believe that children are a gift from a loving God, to be celebrated and embraced. The best response we can offer, then, is encouragement and love. After all, if the Christian community does not reach out in support, who will? Perhaps if we'd take the time to congratulate a couple with a newly announced pregnancy, offer food or a baked dish to a young mother, or just let parents know by a card or a squeeze that we share in their joy, the positives would outweigh the negatives. "I hope you're not going to give up that wonderful career," one young friend was told after announcing her pregnancy. Another was warned, "Don't let yourself get stuck in a rut by being away from the real world for too long." And then there are those who treta pregnancy like a condition or disease: "You young people are luckier than we were. You can take something to prevent it." One of my college-age daughters once called home and asked, "Did you ever resent setting aside your career just to stay home and take care of us kids?" "What career was that?" I replied. "You mean that piddling little job I once had of pushing papers? I know it looks like all I do around here is wipe bottoms and noses. But believe me, what I'm doing is far more important. I'm raising tomorrow's future." And I am. I must admit that as a "seasoned" mom of many, there are times when even I've been caught off guard by some of the queries posed. Normally, I'm polite. I understand that initial reaction: "Thirteen children, I can't imagine it!" I once couldn't either! I confess there's a devilish side of me that wishes I could offer a teasing response. To the ones who ask, "How did that happen?" I'd like to say, "You mean you don't know?" And to those who ask, "Do you work besides?" I'd reply, "I used to. But now I just stay home and have babies." Apparently some who learn of our family size for the first time automatically conjure up the fairy-tale image of "the old woman in the shoe who had so many children -- she didn't know what to do." The next question I usually get is, "How big is your house?" or more specifically, "How many bedrooms do you have?" It's not where they sleep that's the problem. It's feeding them and finding them underwear and matching socks that's driving me nuts. To those who ask, "They can't all be yours, can they?" I'd like to respond, "That's what I keep saying. But they keep showing up for supper and throwing their dirty clothes during the laundry chute." Then there are those visionaries who get down to the real problem with housing thirteen children: "You must have a lot of bathrooms?" As if everyone gets the urge at the same time. Actually most parents quickly realize that where there are more than four in a household, there are never enough bathrooms! "I send the real fidgety ones who look like they can't hold it another minute over to the neighbors," I've teasingly told a few. "They don't all live at home, do they?" is by far the most common question I get. As if no house could hold thirteen growing kids. I'm always tempted to tell people, "Well, actually until we get a couple more bunk beds, we've put a few in cold storage in the freezer and a couple in the trunk of the car." But that wouldn't be polite and may cuase a few raised eyebrows! I'm beginning to understand my grandmother's response to people who asked her how she managed with eight. She would simply reply: "I expect they were outside a lot." The gutsy lady left inquirers with the notion that after birthing her kids she just let them wander out the back door to fend for themselves, much like a stray dog or cat. Sure doesn't explain how they all turned into such fine adults. And then we have the prophets of poverty who write articles warning that it "will cost the average couple $100,000 to raise just one child to age eighteen." It must drive 'em crazy to hear of couples like us who are raising a baker's dozen or more on one income! My all-time favorite is, "You must have help." Well, need I say that if here's anyone who could have used "help," it's gotta be me? But it's a little late for that now. I don't mean to lecture, but aren't we a bunch of wimps and whiners? I mean we've got to be living in the softest and cushiest of ages with our automatic everything -- from washers and dryers to dishwashers and microwaves -- as well as disposables and every other available convenience at our fingertips. Yet we've been led to believe that parenting more than one child virtually can't be done without "help". Compared to our grandparents who raised large families and struggled through economic disasters, wars, depression, and unemployment (and considered even one indoor bathroom a convenience), we've got it made! Of course, there are a certain number of people who expect us "moms of more than the acceptable two" to be weary and worn out. Some days we are. Our reward comes, however, in those hugs, laughs, and expressions of love the outside world cannot experience or comprehend. "You're John Kuharski's wife? You're not at all what I pictured. You're actually pretty," one poor woman blurted out at a large social gathering before she could stop herself. Hmmm. The most I could do was smile. By the way, a new phrase is emerging. Coined by the antifamily "no kids for us" promoters, it's called "child-free." One political writer woefully wrote that even in this "progressive age" the thought of a married couple purposefully choosing not to have children is still seen as a negative. (Tsk-tsk.) In order to change that, she suggests they adopt the theme "child-free" -- kind of like the notion of cling=free, smoke-free, caffeine-free, or whatever's-not-good-for-you-free -- forcefully letting us all know they have chosen to remain childless. It's sad enough there are organizations like Planned Parenthood (full name: Planned Parenthood Federation of America) that feed off the taxpaying public and use their propaganda, pressure, and prejudice to convince the American people to limit the size of their family (if they must have children at all) to no more than two. But that's not enough. Some are determined to persuade us that sea porpoises, snail darters, forests, land, water, and ozone layers will only survive and prosper if we become extinct. We're to believe that "non-parenting" -- another of those phrases -- is economical, ecological, and certainly more ethical. It's no coincidence that along with a radical feminist (antifamily) movement and legalized abortion came groups such as the National Organization of Non-Parents (NON) and Childless by Choice. Even some environmental extremists have gotten into the act by touting bumper stickers and slogans suggesting that "one child or none" is kinder to "mother earth." Those desiring more often find themselves having to apologize for their lack of "planning." I remember the time I was confronted as I waited in a checkout line at a supermarket. A woman walked over to me after noticing my obvious pregnant shape and the four little ones surrounding me, and asked, "Don't you feel any sense of obligation? Don't you care at all about others?" "Sure I do," I told her. "You should see how many more there are at home!" (I couldn't resist.) What a twist. I thought that's what pregnancy and parenting were all about -- "caring for others." Thankfully, and in spite of the naysayers and propagandists, there will always be those who disregard the doomsayers and have babies. In fact, millions of us consider parenting a vocation from God. By the way, I must mention that while the "child-free" have to pay to have their furniture distressed, mine is done at no cost. With love and years of handling. Yes, the "child-free" can look forward to winters in warmth, cruises on luxury liners, controlled quiet, uninterrupted careers, programmed aging, and relentless routines. Not for us. Many of us moms, with our husbands' sacrifice and support, willingly forgo that "climb to the corporate top" in order to climb the nursery-room stairs. We prefer the unknown, the unexpected, and the unpredictable. Show us a houseful of kids and we see creativity in progress. To those who know no bounds and ask, "Don't you believe in family planning?" let's reassure them that all our kids are planned, perfect, and spaced. By God. This is the first chapter of Mary Ann Kuharski’s book “Parenting with Prayer”, called ‘Don’t You Believe in Family Planning?’

Who are you to judge what is acceptable behavior and to say that someone should not be seen as "normal" if they become pregnant without it being "planned". I understand that you are following your religion but perhaps you should follow your religion and not judge others. Leave that up to God himself. I sure hope that you only had sex 3 times or with the intent to conceive a child or you yourself are living in sin even within the confines of a marriage. People like you should look a little bit closer at their own lives before passing judement on the lives of others. I will be praying for you as it is very clear you are in need of it.

This is especially true for vaccines when you consider some facts: Vaccines have in the past been proven to have and taken off the market due to major negative effects; obviously, the "no proof" argument does not consider *future* proofs. Keep in mind that for a long time, the cigarette companies claimed there was "no proof of a link between cigarettes and cancer"! Also, statistics show a definite link between vaccines and SIDS and autism; among the non-vaccinated, both SIDS and autism are nearly (possibly completely) non-existent. I don't understand why you would use Chicken Pox as an example of a "very important" vaccine. I had chicken pox. My wife had chicken pox (and shingles). It's just something everyone goes through at some point. If I were to argue against dangerous diseases, I would pick Whooping Cough or Tetanus as my examples; however, the vaccines for both (or at least tetanus?) still contain mercury, and both can still trigger autism. Most people who expose their children to TV are usually not around to explain things in proper context. Due to the harmful nature of US broadcast TV being an improper context, even if trustworthy adults were around, they would be at odds with the TV's supplied context. Exposure to the evils of reality are better suited, IMO, to a classroom setting where the goal is to explain why they are wrong. I’m not the vaccination expert in the family, but I do know a little… and logic, too! :)

The only section of which greatly concerns me is your stance regarding vaccinations. While some do contain mercury and may lead to possible side-effects, there are no proven connections between the vaccinations and autism or other severe health problems. Also, some vaccinations, such as Chicken Pox, are very important and can result in more deadly forms if contracted later in life. From your statement regarding their exposure to germs, I'm assuming you are going to have them home schooled or some similar program that minimizes their exposure to others. I can completely understand your not wanting to watch TV, especially with today's shows and what is discussed on the news. However, while protecting one's innocence, especially a child's, is a thoughtful and worthwhile cause, they will be exposed to the realities of the world at some point and it is better that they are exposed with their parents around to explain what is happening in the proper context than being left to interpret the world through a highly restrictive lens.
