[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the parents of 3+ that I know are super organized and have their act together way more than the parents of 1 or 2! They are the ones volunteering on the PTA, taking other peoples’ kids to practice, and stepping up to coach. I don’t know how they do it, but they are amazing! I’m jealous![/quote]

I know both kinds with both amounts of kids.  My SIL has four kids and is a total disaster.  My friend has four kids and is the one who does everything you say above and more.  I have friends with one or two kids in both of those groups as well.  I don't think you can generalize what a person is like based on how many kids they have.  I went to a private K-12 growing up and I'd say all of those families had their act together pretty much all the time.  My friends ranged from only children to one of eight, so I don't categorize people based on the number of kids they have.[/quote]

I agree with this, but this thread went off the rails because OP’s title DOES categorize based on number of kids, in a very offensive and untrue way. Also, pro tip for OP: don’t ever say you “feel sorry for” someone else’s kids. It will not go well, and is a poor example for your own children. [/quote]

Not OP, but I sure do feel sorry for kids whose parents can't get the logistics of their family life together and therefore cause them to miss out on things.  How does that set a poor example for anyone?[/quote]

Well, generally being a judgmental b!tch sets a poor example. Maybe instead teach empathy and compassion? Maybe realize that you never really know all of what goes on in other people’s lives and you should not judge?[/quote]

PP isn't being judgmental by feeling bad for kids whose parents can't get their S#$% together causing those kids to miss out on stuff.  That sucks for the kids![/quote]
