[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've always craved the power and adoration afforded to cult leaders, but don't have the natural charisma to gain followers of your own...have 4+ kids instead.

But seriously, folks, this article just promotes the age-old parenting technique called "neglect." You can do neglect with any number of offspring, but at the 4+ range it just happens naturally.

Parents who have large families always say they are doing it for the kids, but in reality, they are doing it for themselves. The[b] power, attention, adoration, etc is unparalleled[/b]. All the kids' needs come secondary to the parents'.[/quote]
Please, dear poster, telling me where this is coming from.  It's not from my kids, it's not from friends and it's certainly not from DCUM.  The worst thing about having several kids is that you're only as happy as the least happy one.

This might be the strangest comment I've read here yet.  People think we're nuts.  Did you even read the thread before asserting this?[/quote]
