[quote=Anonymous]I skimmed some pages on this thread and see people claim that 4+ kids = necessary neglect. What does that mean? You can easily have 4+ kids who are fed, clothed, bathed, literate, social, up to date on vaccines, etc. Are we talking about “emotional neglect”? I also see lots of people saying the oldest kid “raises” the youngest, but not any description of what that means. Making meals? Laundry? School pickup? Registering younger siblings for sports/camps? Managing younger sibling’s healthcare appointments? It’s gotta be more than just playing with younger siblings, right? If my older kid plays with her younger sibling, that’s not “parenting.” Just like nannies/babysitters aren’t “raising” our kids. [/quote]
