Parents celebrate empty nest with photo shoot

If they would have had enough children, they wouldn't have an "empty nest". By the time the youngest child moved out, the grandchildren would be coming along.
That’s what should be normal. My wife’s oma and opa had 14 children, and their youngest was 5 when the first grandchild came around. Modern society sees this as far too “weird” to have such a small gap between children and grandchildren whereas if Catholics were Catholics, it would be quite normal again
It’s funny, everyone else always talked about having the 14 as if they couldn’t believe it, that’s just too many, they were so poor (because they didn’t go to Disneyland) etc, whereas my wife asked her Oma once if she thought she had too many and her response was “no, and I couldn’t live without any of them”
When we were getting married (only practising Catholic in the family is my wife and her one NO cousin) her uncle asked us how many kids we were going to have, and we said “however many God sends us” and her Oma got excited and thumped her hand on the table and exclaimed “that’s right!” A beautiful testament to faithfulness to God’s law of marriage.
