The Daddy Complex

Do people ask you about fertility a lot because you have twins? I've heard that from other parents of multiples and am definitely guilty of thinking it about my own acquaintances.

I know it’s not right, but just experiencing what we experienced, whenever I see a set of fraternal twins and the parents are close to our age, I assume they’re the result of fertility treatments.

Just one of the many ways in which I’m an asshole, I guess.

Okay, everyone, since I’ve received a trickle of interesting questions, I’m leaving anon on until tomorrow night. Ask away.
