2scents -“is simply because we have more children, meaning that a mother of five or six, will wait till the last minute (washing laundry and dishes) as opposed to a non Jewish family of one and a half.. (including the pet)”
Btw, we aren’t the only group out there with a lot of kids. Read my previous posts.
This isn’t an excuse to waste other people’s time because you wait till the last minute. Because you waited till the last minute, now you have to have either Hatzolah or EMS take of you.
Let’s say while you are wasting their time -they are needed at a life-threating emergency and the other ambulances are futher away!
Waiting till the last minute and saying “Oh, I can just call Hatzolah or EMS”, is the most selfish thing I’ve ever heard.
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t call when you have a childbirth emergency -that isn’t due to your negligence!
