There is a lot of pressure in society to go the conventional route, which entails getting married, having kids, and landing a solid career. Couples who decide against starting a family may feel pressured to defend their choice to others, frequently subjected to awkward and invasive inquiries. People may judge others based on this social expectation, particularly if they don’t fit the norm. When Lisa, Patti White’s daughter with Down syndrome, revealed she was pregnant, she was subjected to this criticism. Lisa was working, living on her own, and maintaining a positive relationship in spite of the challenges. Patti and her family supported her decision, despite the fact that many people questioned her capacity to be a decent mother. In spite of social criticism, Lisa’s tale dispels stereotypes and emphasizes the value of family support.
