Parenting can be exhausting. There’s so much going on on any given day that it’s only natural you might forget a few things now and again. Wednesday is soccer, next Monday a project is due, there are two birthday parties to attend on the 28th, plus a swimming lesson wedged in between. And so on and so forth.
Some memory lapses are forgivable; others get publicly shamed. Like forgetting how many children you have… That’s exactly what happened to one dad momentarily, while he was chatting to some friends at a Bar Mitzvah. The child-free couple has told how he advised them not to have 3 kids in a row “like [he] did.” They had to remind him that he actually has 4. It’s opened up yet another debate on how many kids is one too many.
