You're done now, right?

I have noticed something. If your family keeps increasing in size, you will invariably get the comments or stares from people when they see your whole clan out and about. Even among fellow Catholics, you still receive those comments. I'm not talking about the "you have such a beautiful family" comments. I'm thinking more about the "You're done now, right?" or the "Jeez, you must have your hands full", and my favorite - "I think that's really selfish."

How far have we come in our society when we have people who are astonished/appalled that we have more than the standard 1 or 2 children? I've seen in plenty of sites, such as digg, where whenever the discussion is about the quantity of children, that a majority of them say the people shouldn't be allowed to have more than one, or even worse, "China has a solution for that". How did our society get THAT negative towards large families? That kind of mentality is frightening, that somebody should decide for me the number of children I can bring into the world. Society seems to think that these children will be a burden placed on the very same society.

Also, our government seems to be on the path of destroying the Christian aspect of our country. Our God-King Obama has a plan, and is given a pass on everything he does by the media. I don't think it will be too long before some "overpopulation" law will be written into effect.
