Parenting
Are you tired of the intrusive question, “Are they all yours?” It’s a query that seems to come from those who also ask, “Are you the nanny?” or “Are you expecting?” Clearly, some individuals lack both a filter and common sense.
One mother, frustrated by the incessant questioning while out with her four children, came up with a clever solution to convey a message about her family size boldly: “Yes, they are all mine.” Emily Johnson created a charming cotton canvas tote designed to elegantly silence the critics. Available on her Etsy shop, Family First Creations, for $19.99, this bag beautifully encapsulates her response to the constant inquiries.
On her Etsy page, Emily notes, “I designed this tote bag for when I take my lively crew out… in reaction to the ‘Are they all yours?’ questions we face. Even when I had just three kids, it was a frequent topic.”
Motherhood often seems to strip away the boundaries that strangers typically maintain. From unsolicited belly touches during pregnancy to invasive questions after giving birth, moms often find themselves on the receiving end of inappropriate remarks. However, that doesn’t make it any less tiring. “I don’t grasp where the dilemma lies,” Emily shared with us. “People might not intend harm, but they fail to recognize how their words resonate, especially when you’ve already heard that same question multiple times in a day.”
I recall a friend whose son had a lighter skin tone than hers. She was frequently asked if she was the nanny. Who in their right mind would even pose such a question?
While some folks may genuinely be trying to engage in light conversation, just as it’s inappropriate to ask a woman if she’s pregnant, inquiries about family size can cross the line. They tend to create awkward situations. This tote serves as a playful way to affirm, “Yes, I have a large family. So what?”
Emily expresses her love for her big family and is open to welcoming more children in the future. “I cherish watching them interact, when they’re not bickering, and observing those relationships grow!” she shared. “Some of the most magical moments are when the older kids come to meet their new sibling at the hospital.”
She should feel no obligation to justify her family planning decisions to anyone. A popular saying resonates well here: “I used to care what people thought of me, until the day I tried to pay my bills with their opinions.”
