[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have and love a large family.  This guy is an idiot! He doesn't speak for most of us.

The only sentiments I agree with regarding the article is that you tend to be more relaxed and anti-travel sports culture once you get towards the end of the line.  I do agree the crazy competitive culture is not good for kids.  Like everything, it's a balance.  My kids don't do crap around the house and they aren't up early parenting their siblings on Saturday morning, that is for sure.  They're texting me from their room to tell the little ones to keep it down and that's the most interaction they have Saturday morning (as it should be!) [/quote]

Why should your kids sit in their rooms texting instead of interacting with their family? That’s your example of how it should be?

Not speaking to childcare responsibilities, but kids absolutely benefit from contributing to the household via substantial chores.

Treating our kids like little royalty is not healthy.

I have three and can see both sides of this debate. [/quote]
