The vanity of multiples is a bit much...don't you think?
"God bless you mother- you retired from children's counseling too soon!" I teased during a phone conversation that involved us watching one of those entertainment shows. Yet another entertainer was the proud parent of a set of twins; it seems odd that they rarely mention if the twins were identical or fraternal...maybe that doesn't matter when it is not your egg. "Clomid twins, sweetie....biochemistry and anthropology dictate that no population can have a surge in multiple births on the level of Hollywood's without some sort of 'enhancer'". The name of the enhancer most often used is Clomid. With each multiple birth I hear about on the news, one seems to get less enthused. I recall reading that the chance of bearing twins goes up to 4% when you get over thirty but this- THIS is just too much chemistry in biology!
I remember the few times I ventured over to the 'girls' side' of the playground, some way the conversation would turn to marriage and children (this is what they obviously heard from the older females). I often heard girls admitting at the ages of six to twelve that having twins or multiple children at one birthing sounded "cool";seemed like the best way to get their two-point-three out of the way; or vainly they assumed there should be multiple 'THEMS'on the planet. None of us knew of the limitations of hymens, female genitalia or swollen feet then...virgins are so lucky! After just one birth later in our years, many of my friends decided ONE was enough of the 'mother experience' for them! Now we have wealthy, beautiful people taking chances on their bodies, surrogates' ambitions, plastic surgeons' acumen and fertility enhancers' side effects. To be sure, some have claimed- off the record- to have used acupunture or herbal concoctions. But has anyone consulted a developmental psychologists?
Yes, I went there! Birthing orders; multiple birth aggression and detachment; nature vs. nurture; good twin/bad twin syndrome...all the horror stories plucked from Psychology journals will come back to haunt us as children of status and privilege converge on Hollywood over the next thirty years IN MULTIPLES. We will wish whimiscally for the teen years of Paris and Nikki Hilton! Orgies that rival Ancient Rome...think Hell's version of the Doublemint Twin commercials; hedonism and spikes in viral outbreaks- because the hot guy with the diseases was into twins. It seems odd, someone like myself that seems to 'adore' Tinseltown, labeling it the next Sodom and Gomorrah, yet the dirty underbelly is poised for a shock. Jerry Springer may only have wanna-be actors and maladjusts whom we've never seen on-screen, but the seediness that slips out of Lala Land is mimicked by the soft-in-brain.
Not all entertainers are bad-parents waiting to happen...I have seen a few recently that seem to know just enough about their profession to keep their profession from ruining their personal lives; I laud them to my friends in the business often. As for those that seem to search out the limelight, just to begin their 'bonfires'...woo be to us who will have to witness the harbringer of parental yearnings and subsequent fertility! If the offspring survive childhood, their book deals will already be inked; let's hope they will be sober enough to fulfill them.
No one cares about my opinion but me. That is why some blog...to give others candy for their brain or bitter herbs for them to chew.
