[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a rabbit? Stop breeding. The world doesn’t need more of your offspring. Thanks [/quote]

Top ten all-time best DCUM replies.  FWIW, I AGREE![/quote]

Actually, it’s quite nasty. The world needs more kindness, and it sounds like OP is a conscientious mother who loves her children enough to consider a fourth and also is thinking of how best to nurture them. Her children will model her kindness. [/quote]

Thank you for saying this. I am honestly appalled at these "stop breeding" comments--what unhelpful, unkind responses. As a SAHM who is adjusting to my new normal of having three kids, I completely understand why the OP could use an extra set of adult hands in the house. It's only in the past few decades that women have been expected to raise children and manage a household without any additional help (and in most other countries, in fact, women do NOT do this--women of any means have help). Please understand that the task of raising children and managing a household is a great deal of work, whether you are a SAHM or not. Why begrudge the OP her very wise decision to ask for assistance? No need to criticize her or her reproductive choices.

OP, I wish I had something helpful to offer you, but I'm really only reading this thread to brainstorm ideas for myself. All the best to you and your growing family! [/quote]
