Download Simply Perfect Kitchens & BathsWelcome to the storeControversial words: Sarah Scott (pictured) says she 'sacrificed' having another child in order to stay in her family's dream homeUS Elle Decor is facing a bitter public backlash after publishing an article on its website in which a mother-of-two describes how she ‘sacrificed’ having another child so her family could continue living in their American ‘dream home’. In her essay titled, 'I Made A Huge Sacrifice To Buy My Dream Home', stay-at-home mom Sarah Scott explains that she and her husband can 'only afford to have two children' because they chose to build their 'fully-loaded luxury home', however, her 'uterus literally aches' for a third child. Not surprisingly, Sarah's personal woes did not go over well with many readers, especially those who are unable to have children because of physical reasons that are out of their control.
One commenter named Christina Anderson slammed Sarah while sharing that she had to have a hysterectomy at 26, when her only child was a toddler. She suffered two miscarriages and underwent fertility treatments to have her daughter, who has autism. 'You can't have another child because the timing is wrong and you decided your dream home was the better choice? Go cry me a goddamn river,' she wrote. 'Your lovely home is not keeping you from having a child...you and your husband made a conscious choice to put material well-being first, and that was your choice to make, but don't act like it was some incredible sacrifice or that the sense of loss is so pervasive that it disrupts your life.'In her essay, Sarah also laments about only being able to afford one family vacation a year using a timeshare she and her husband purchased as newlyweds. She noted they had to 'budget' for their ride-on lawnmower, gardening supplies, a fenced in yard for their dogs, and a generator, explaining that she is able to stay home with their children because of the 'carefully premeditated financial choices' they have made.
Stating the facts: Amanda Dodds-Hoosen berated Sarah's essay, which was published on US Elle Decor's website earlier this month, because unlike many other women, she has choices Privileged life: In her essay, Sarah also said that having a third child would force her to sell her timeshare. This commented noted that a large number of American's done even take weekly vacationsChristina Anderson lashed out at Sarah and explained that she physically can't have any more children because she had to have a hysterectomy at 26 After they purchased their home, Sarah and her husband had a change of heart about having another child, but in order to do so they would need to downsize and move out of their home. Sarah would also have to return to working as a teacher full-time and put her children in daycare.'Our annual vacation would disappear because we would need to sell the timeshare to make up the difference,' she explained. 'Understandably, something has to give and unfortunately, in this case, it's our mutual dream of having another child.'
One person noted that Sarah is lucky that she can even take a vacation, writing: 'You don't want to "sacrifice" your timeshare? Guess what, only 54% of Americans take a one week vacation. [sic]'The vast majority of commenters have issues with Sarah's story because unlike many women who long to have a baby, she has choices both physically and financially. Amanda Dodds-Hooson wrote: 'Not sure there is a point, it's a "poor little me" story that smacks of utter selfishness. Spare a thought for the women who can't have children instead of bleating on about your uterus aching for a third child. Difficult choice huh....your dream house versus a third child. Wrong audience: Mike Vago's comment is oozing with sarcasm as he recounts the 'horrible sacrifices' Sarah has made No sympathy: A majority of people who commented on Sarah's article, including Heather Bernklau, slammed the stay-at-home mom for her 'entitled' words Personal choice: Sarah says if she wanted to have a third child, her family would have to move out of their luxurious home (not pictured), give up their timeshare, and she would have to go back to work
Decisions: In her essay, Sarah also laments about having to 'budget' for their ride-on lawnmower, gardening supplies, a fenced in yard for their dogs (both pictured are file photos)Others noted that they have no sympathy for her because she 'entitled' and has no sense of reality. 'World's tiniest violin is playing the saddest song for the saddest rich white lady. I'm sorry but, I'm inordinately angry after reading this condescending, entitled, self-aggrandizing drivel,' Heather Bernklau said. 'This woman would not have written, let alone published this if she truly understood what it means to struggle in life.' Meanwhile, Mike Vago added: My heart breaks to hear about the horrible sacrifices someone with a gigantic house, an "essential" riding lawn mower, a timeshare, and a non-working parent had to endure. You really have no idea how 99% of this country lives, do you? I'm sure you can dry your tears with big piles of money. [sic]' And some were angry that the US-based Elle Decor published Sarah's essay in the first place.
