Barbara Holland The essay Speaking of Children  is an extract from Barbara Holland’s renowned volume  Mother’s Day or the View from In Here . In this essay, Holland examines the idea of having more than one child and its effect to the parents. The essay is about the children and its effects on family. She believes that one child is an appendage (A part that is joined to something larger) but more than one is a way of life. One child is outnumbered (be large in number/counted) and parents can brainwash it, carry it to parties, toss it on the bed with the coats and make it whatever they want. It is usually easy to look after one child. It is a part of their lives. But, plural children are a counter culture in the house. Parents are outnumbered by the children. In other words, parents must accept or do something they do not want but they are compelled to do certain undesired things. They have to buy many toy sets and they cannot go to the weekend where they like. They have to keep
