So, earlier this week when my friend Denise came over for a playdate, Mark also had folks over for gaming. He has a
regular group that comes on Sunday afternoons, but because of the weather last Sunday only two people came, Eric and Jen, who are a married couple. Mark and I made introductions and at some point Denise posed the question that all parents ask of other adults:
Denise to Eric and Jen: ”Do you have any kids?”
(Note: We’ve known Eric and Jen since before we had kids so they have had front row seats to the experience of parenting).
Eric to Denise: “No. We come over to Mark and Jenny’s house every week for birth control.”
And there I was thinking they valued our friendship. Silly parent. On the plus side, at least we have a purpose as a dispensary of free birth control.
I related news, I took my advertisements for birth control children to run some errands today. I’d like to extend an apology to everyone we encountered in public.
Pwah ha ha … know the feeling
I’m hoping our two year old is persuading our sixteen year old to keep it in in his pants!
Yesterday my husband and I attempted to take our 17 month old and 2 week old on a couple simple errands. Just trying to get the babies out to the car would have been birth control enough for any passerby’s. I can completely understand what you are saying =D
PDang! That’s harsh! I think my 3 small boys are probably birth control for plenty of people, but… Dang! Pretty harsh for “friends”.
Sounds like there’s a story there …. you actually call it a moment ha ha ha?
I think those of us with out if control children like to think we are doing an already overpopulated world a favor with the dissuasion tactic. But tbe world is full of smug morons like me who need to be tsught the hard eay. Sadly when watching friends struggle with their demonic offspring I always thought they were weakassed parents and I’d show ‘em how to do it. Who’s laughing now huh? Oh yeah, that cackle is mine but it’s hysteria not mirth and my two year old ate the phone so for the love of God someone call 911 for me……
In my defense, you’ve been using the phrase “birth control moment” for over eleven years now…
