It is one’s choice whether or not to become pregnant and a mother. Yes, it is impossible to go anywhere without worrying about your child after you become a parent. However, one cannot be bothered by the constraints and restrictions that come with having a kid, particularly when it is the fourth. Read the narrative to find out what happened to the two friends and what you would do in a similar scenario.

My friend, Isla (26f) and I (26f)have known each other since middle school. We applied to the same college and got in. However, Isla got pregnant after a few months and decided to drop out.
She’s had 3 more accidental pregnancies and is now a stay at home mother of 4.
I was telling her the other day that I’m going travelling to Europe and if all goes well, I will be moving there.
She got really annoyed with me and told me that it must be nice to have all the freedom and no responsibilities (like hello, I work, i’m Doing my PhD, it’s not like I’m just sitting on my a%s) because I don’t have kids.
This isn’t not the first time she took jabs at me for that but it was the first time she was this rude.
I told her that if she wanted to be free and go off whenever and wherever she wanted, she should’ve used protection and thought before having kids (our conversation was at my house and her kids weren’t there).
She got really mad and left, slamming the door on her way out.
She hasn’t replied to my messages but she starting telling everyone what an awfu” person I am.
Am I wrong for snapping at her?
