What the number of children you have say about you?

What is an asshat? I agree with the PP. If a couple has more than 2-3 kids, they remind me of rats and cockroaches.



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.

We've had heart-to-heart and 2 it shall be.

I think ppl with 3 or more kids of same gender were trying for other gender.


wrong on that one sister. I've got three girls and am pregnant with #4. Secretly hoping for another girl.


vocally stating that I hope you're in favor of birth control before your litter starts having litters

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.

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?

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?
