The Pressure To Procreate, Fulfilling My Mother’s Wishes

I have four brothers, I am the fourth in line. My mother talked to me, pestered me, reminded me that she wanted the patter of little feet, from me. It did not matter how many grandkids my brothers gave her, it was me she wanted grandkids from.

I got married early, fulfilled her dream and settled into having a large family. I have five of my own, my brothers have been little rabbits themselves and my mother has thirteen grandkids.

I love being a mother, one day my daughters are going to bring grandbabies home to me.
