Let’s face it: some questions from strangers can be downright baffling. “Are they all yours?” is one of those queries that leaves many parents scratching their heads. It’s often accompanied by other invasive inquiries like “Are you the nanny?” or “Are you expecting?” Some folks just don’t seem to have a filter, and it can be exhausting.
Take the example of one mom, Emily Carter, who was fed up with constantly answering the question, “Are they all yours?” while out with her four kids. To tackle this recurring annoyance, she came up with a clever solution: a stylish tote bag that boldly proclaims, “Yes, they are all mine.” Priced at $19.99, this cute cotton canvas bag is available on her Etsy shop, Family Fun Designs.
On her Etsy listing, Emily explains, “I designed this tote to use when I take my little traveling circus out, in response to all the ‘Are they all yours?’ comments we hear. Even when I had just three kids, it was a common question.” The moment you become a parent, it’s like the boundaries of personal space vanish. From unsolicited belly rubs during pregnancy to intrusive questions about your family size, it can feel overwhelming.
Emily says, “I don’t quite understand the struggle some people have with boundaries. They might mean well, but they often don’t realize how their comments come off, especially after you’ve heard the same thing multiple times in a single outing.” I once had a friend whose child had a lighter skin tone than hers. She faced the same question—“Are you the nanny?”—way too often. Seriously, who thinks that’s an appropriate thing to ask?
Sure, some people may just be trying to strike up a conversation, but there are certain topics that should remain off-limits. Just as it’s a social faux pas to ask a woman if she’s pregnant, questions about family size can feel equally invasive. This tote bag offers a fun and straightforward way to convey, “Yes, I have a big family. So what?”
Emily cherishes her large family and is open to welcoming more children in the future. “I adore watching my kids interact and form bonds—when they’re not driving each other crazy, of course! Some of my fondest memories are when the older kids visit the hospital to meet their new sibling. It’s truly magical.”
She shouldn’t have to justify her family planning choices to anyone. There’s a popular saying that resonates here: “I used to care what people thought of me, until the day I tried to pay my bills with their opinions.”
