HOWEVER, if they're loaded and can send the kids to boarding school THEN it's ok in my book. |
Then they are rich rats. Although a large family of adopted children don't look like vermin. |
vocally stating that I hope you're in favor of birth control before your litter starts having litters |
Both of you, call me. |
| Can you imagine if each of the Duggars' 20 kid litter had 20 kids? Two people are responsible for creating 400 grandkids. Please people, STOP littering the world. |
| They're children, folks. Let's dial down the vitriol just a little bit, can we? They're not rats, they're not cockroaches, they're children. You can disagree with their parents' choices all you like, but it's not the kids' fault. |
just needs to be tweaked a bit to fit this post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgDxWNV4wWY |
Unfortunately, they're still a litter and won't amount to much bc there are so many of them. 8 hrs sleep 8 hrs work 2 hrs commute 1 hr to shower and get ready in AM 2 hrs to cook & clean (breakfast, lunch, dinner) total = 21 hours used There's 3 hours or 180 minutes left. If you have 8, 10, 12+ kids, how much time do you actually get to spend with each of them? This gives you 15-22 minutes per day to spend with each child. Can you even remember their birthdays? |
Can't see the link. What is it? |
I grew up in a fairly religious community and knew many families with 6-10 kids. Most had SAHMs and all spent quality time together and were very close. I grew up with 3 siblings and the 4 of us were also very close. I love a big family, and assuming I can financially afford it, I plan to have 4 myself. Just because it isnt your choice doesnt mean that it doesnt work for other families. Kids get attention from their siblings, grandparents, and parents. |
the Faberge commercial - "You'll tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on and so on and so on." (tweaked: "You'll have four kids, and they'll have four kids, and so on and so on and so on." Depending upon your age, I just may have outed myself! |
But 4 is no where near 8, 12, 19 kids, is it? |
My grandfather was one of 8, my grandmother was one of 6. My step-father was the youngest of 12 and yes, his mother knew his birthday. Look, I have two and that's more than enough for me. I get tired just thinking about 8, 10, 12+. But the mean-spirited "they're still a litter and won't amount to much" attitude, just writing children off, is still deeply troubling. |
No, but who cares as long as it works for that family? I'd probably have more than 4 if we could afford it. Also, many people who marry young - early 20's - have more child-bearing years and feel like they can handle more kids. Why such vitriol directed to them? |
