[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weirdest are families with 1. They agonize and obsess over everything precious Larla does. Not all parents. But many.[/quote]

We are having our fourth and are more laid back than people we know with only one. Like the freaks at the park who follow their kid around the whole time. It’s straight up weird. I’m seeing more and more friends have 4 while still having a career and happy marriage and full life. Already the saying was “three is the new two.” Now that that study found that 4 is the ideal number, will it be 4?[/quote]

You aren't laid back.  You are neglectful.  Its your responsibility to make sure your toddler is safe at a park.  The adults are happy, but that's not what people are saying.  Its about meeting the kids needs.  Its very difficult to meet 4 kids needs, spend 1-1 time with them and really focus on each as an individual.  Usually parents like you pawn your kids off on others and we end up doing it as we feel sorry for the kids.  You will call us to carpool but carpool means we drive your kid and you don't do anything as you don't have the space or a kid is napping or some other excuse.  We feed your kid because we pick them up and they are hungry as you were focused on other things or the kids have to fend for themselves.  You don't even realize what the impact is on your kids as its really all about you.[/quote]
Previous poster is super out of line. [/quote]

Which PP? All of these three seemed out of line to me.  I’ve known wonderful families and wonderful parents with 1 child and with 13 children. Older parents and super young parents can both be selfless and kind. Laid back parents and helicopter parents both love their kids.  There are many good ways to create a family. [/quote]
The one who called someone neglectful particular rubbed me wrong, but you’re right. None of the responses are nice. [/quote]

To just sit at a park and not engage you child or care if they are safe is neglectful.  If you have 4 kids, you really need to step up your game and supervision.

I'm tired of the calls from the 3-4 kid parents demanding I drive their kid as I'm going anyway and never helping out (nor would i agree as I know what kind of parents they are when I have to drive and feed their kids).[/quote]
