You can congratulate them to be civil and that's enough.

I will congratulate them because I do think children are a blessing I also think people should get to choose when and how many they are blessed with.

Except you object to their choice to have these babies?

suffering will make them stronger. These 7 kids are also going to get horrible parenting. Somebody should call CPS on them.

It is clear you don't want to help, so please don't.

The kids won't starve.. which is the other thing bothering me no meal train was organized when staff on the lower income spectrum welcomed new babies and in two cases they were first children.
They can definitely afford to hire help and order from Uber eats

PP you replied to. If you feel there is no need to participate, then don't. And next time you think someone actually needs the help, YOU can initiate a meal train, or whatever else you think they need.

I wouldn’t give them shit! Also, I wouldn’t hesitate to tell my colleagues why I wasn’t participating if asked.

+1. Don’t talk about it and don’t do it.

The neighborhood mom clique is always trying to set up meal trains for truly dumb reasons. I don’t have time for that nonsense.

Aholes usually aren’t embarrassed so you fit that perfectly.

If I don't know someone well enough to know their exact food preferences, I'm not getting involved in a meal train. So no, I would not do this.

Pp here. I have no shame about my views and will not hesitate to express them if the situation warrants it. Catholics are mostly a bunch of homophobic misogynist pedos so I will do nothing for them! Have a lovely day! 😘

How old is the oldest girl in the family? At work there was a similar situation with a co-worker and felt sorry for the oldest girl who was left cooking, cleaning and taking care of the youngest kids. So I dropped off food only because it was helping out the oldest girl who was around 13.

When I did I asked the dad if I could take the 13 year old to get some ice cream at the store so she could pick out the family favorite ice cream then quickly took her to her favorite take out place so she could eat a meal in peace in the car while I ran into the store and bought a couple of tubs of ice cream and ice cream cones.

I had a friend who was the oldest girl in a traditional large family and saw how she suffered. Granted she had some great times too but she had way way too much responsibility. Not surprising she only had one child.
