Biting my tongue (FB related)
The other day, my sister posted on FB about a tv special she was watching about a local family that did IVF. They transferred two embryos. Each embryo split resulting in two sets of identical twins (quads!). The mom is a fraternal twin herself and delivered them on her own birthday. Very rare for both to split and very interesting. That was essentially the point of my sister's post.
Most people responded with statements like "omg, crazy!" or "what a miracle". One friend wrote:
"OMG, no wonder they're divorced. 4 children all at once?! We really need to stop messin' with Mother Nature. Did anyone think that the reason they were having troubles getting pregnant was bc Mother Nature didn't think they could love the little ones properly???? I don't know, taking the negative side on this one..."

Seriously???
Anyway, here's a link to an old article about their birth. It's from 2004. Sadly, the parents divorced in 2011.

"I DO NOT love that you think so many things revolve around you. I know you're bitter. I get it. But I'm over your feelings." The best person on the internet ever!
wow I think thats really cool that both embryos split.
It is sad the parents divorced though.
I would probably have a hard time not saying something to that person!
