Some people are criticised for not having children (or not yet). Others, because they have too many children (critics mention the effects on the environment, the pressure on NHS and social security, the lack of attention that each will receive, etc…).

I have two children, and have both been criticised for having them too early and for leaving it too late. Go figure.

It is one of those cases where you really are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
