Mother Who Chose A Dream House Over A Baby Faces Social Media Backlash

Sarah Scott, wrote an article titled “I Made a Huge Sacrifice to Buy My Dream Home,” explaining why she chose her lifestyle over her husbands desire to have another child.

In her article Sarah explained: “My husband and I purchased our dream home entirely on our own,” she wrote. “Money wasn’t gifted for our down payment nor did we expect that. […] By our early thirties, we were able to sell our first starter home, to build the fully-loaded luxury home of our dreams. With that said, certain sacrifices had to be made for this dream to come true for us. The first being that we can only afford to have two children.”

To justify her decision she said:“My uterus literally aches despite the fact that logic suggests we can’t afford it right now. After talking it over, and trying to adjust the budget, we have come to the conclusion that the decision to buy our dream home last year has eliminated the possibility of having any more children.”

Despite her outweighing the pros and cons, the article had triggered an outright “mommy war” according to ABC News.
