"We figured we'd better have another one so she has someone to play with"
I was at the doctor's office this week and there was a couple with a (very cute) non-verbal toddler who has seizures in the waiting room.
The mom is visibly pregnant again. The receptionist congratulated her and the dad said, "We figured we'd better have another one so she has someone to play with".
I don't necessarily blame the parents for their naivete. It's also possible the 2nd pregnancy was unintended. But inside, it made me cringe as the younger sibling in a special needs family. Can you relate?
