    Option three is even weirder. She sewed them herself intending to give them to me all along.

      Oh wow.

      Had she done that when you were younger and she assumed you would have kids? I can kinda empathise with that. Making them I mean… But giving them to you…? Yeesh.

      The boomers assumed we’d follow the same predetermined path as they did. My mum certainly thought I would, and so did I up until my late 20s. It was then when I realised whenever I thought about having kids it was with a sense of dread for something I assumed was inevitable.

      Lucky for me my sister had a whole bunch so the pressure was off.
