Why are my parents worried about me just because I do not believe in practicing artificial birth control?

Q. Both of my parents are concerned and worried about my wife and I just because we do not believe in using artificial birth control.

We're both traditional Catholics who firmly believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church. One of the teachings that we firmly hold is the Church's teaching on artificial birth control, believing that it's immoral. We believe in doing God's will by having the children that He wills. He will never give you more than you can handle and always provides. He also rewards those who do His will, as what Sacred Scripture teaches.

Though my parents aren't traditional Catholics. They're modernists who believe that artificial birth control is morally acceptable in the eyes of God. They are sometimes concerned about my wife and I, thinking that we're going to end up in poverty.

My wife comes from a big family of 10 kids. She grew up traditional Catholic her whole life. I grew up in a modernist family who went to Mass, though had modern ideas.

My dad once said to me, "if you end up having 10 kids, you might as well slit your wrists." He was trying to indicate that my I would be living in destitution for the rest of my life. My mother is somewhat worried, but doesn't use such crude language when talking to me.

I have no fear at all when it comes to finances, because I believe that God is in control and He will not fail me if I do His will. Will I be rich with a lot of nice things that the modern world has to offer? No, probably not ... but I know I'll live comfortably and will make it by just fine because I believe that God provides.

It's quite obvious that my parents and I do not see eye to eye when it comes to having children. My wife and I have been married since May 2012 and my wife is a little over 4 months pregnant. We're both very happy about it and are going to continue to be open to the gift of life.

A. Here, I composed a letter for you to send to your parents.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Please let me know how many grandchilden you are able to love. As soon as my wife and I get to that number, we'll stop calling and visiting so you won't be forced to demonstrate to our younger children that you have only a certain capacity for affection.
Thanks!
Your loving son,
Greg
P.S. Since you obviously raised me with a HUGE capacity to love, I hope the number of grandchildren that you settle on will be quite high.

As for the naysayers here on Y!A, remember to pray for them. They've been convinced by our society that fertility is a disease and pregnancy is a crime worthy of executing a helpless and innocent child. Their perspective is small and warped, and it's only by the grace of God that they'll figure things out.

A. It sounds like your parents don't necessarily believe in big families and are worried about your ability to support your family financially.

As long as you are a hard worker and are willing to support a large family, there is nothing wrong with it. Especially if this is what God has planned for you. You are right - He will not give you more than you can handle. Just make sure you stay in prayer and keep your eyes on what God would have you do.

Best wishes for a happy healthy baby! Congratulations!

Should my bf tell his family that we are pregnant on christmas or new years?
Q. I'm 4 months pregnant and I would some ideas on how to tell them ? Like example a picture from the ultra sound and give it to them on christmas or new years saying for the new year he will be a dad? .. Can you give me some ideas ? :)

A. I'd tell them soon. Personally I like Christmas better especially if you open gifts together at all. You can give his parents a baby related gift and that way it's announce to everyone at the same time because normally you watch while someone opens a gift.

We gave my in-laws a photo frame with 3 spots. We have 2 kids so they were in the frame and the 3rd spot was a picture of a pumpkin baby and it said "coming June 2012". If this is your first, do it with photo's of you and your boyfriend. Either put baby in the middle or do it like an equation and decorate with a "+" and "=" sign. For us it was great because grandma didn't have a frame with our kids in it yet but she had a couple of my SIL's daughter. Later on you can swap the photo with an ultrasound (or go for that first if you have one) and later on you can put his/her baby photo in there. It's an upgradeable gift and a cute way to announce it.


If you prefer New Years you can make it a toast or a resolution if you have a group discussion about those. I do prefer Christmas though, it's a nice happy 'gift' to share with others.
