Now, again, at this point, they are already engaged, but they are still debating kids.

And so Mike kind of gets into it with Emma's sister, who's there meeting him.

She's a mom.

He's kind of pushing her, I think, hoping that she will encourage Emma, like, hey, your sister's a mom.

She loves it.

Tell her how amazing it is.

Now, I don't know if Emma's sister said all of this just to shut him up, maybe because she didn't want him pressuring Emma, or if she actually feels this way.

But listen to what she said.

This is the part of the show, probably out of the entire season, that went the most viral.

Now, I watched that clip, guys.

I mean, I saw the first thing she said and my jaw dropped.

Like, I cannot imagine saying something so brazen publicly on television that your children will one day see.

Now, needless to say, the internet erupted.

They were debating whether she was right to say that, whether that was kind or unkind, whether we're shaming women for being honest, whatever it is.

But that clip now combined with this recent Cut article, which coincidentally was released on International Women's Day, which just seems like the worst time to be shaming women, but it's created this entire frenzy over the idea of mothers regretting having children.

And yes, obviously, especially in 2026, there will be the outliers who genuinely do not like their children, that wish they were getting drunk at brunch and traveling to Italy, whatever it may be.

But for a lot of these women who are saying things like this, I think they're saying this because it is hard.

It's beautiful, but it's hard and it is sacrificial.

And I cannot imagine how I would feel if I was not 150% bought into being a mother and was having to do it alone.

Because it is just that hard.
