[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When someone criticizes large families, calls women "breeders", etc, it's almost always older Moms. They're bitter and pissed that they started their families late, so they think folks with 3+ children are just spitting out babies for the hell of it. [/quote]

older mom with 2 young kids, married late in life

didn't plan either one -  So I'm sure, with MY fertility record, I could have had a few more.  The thought was NOT appealing to me.

People have children for selfish reasons.  You wish to carry on a name, for example.  How many men try so hard for that boy?  My uncle did, and 5 girls later . . .   Poor fool didn't understand this his Y was in hiding.  You feel unfulfilled as a woman.  Your professional life didn't turn out the way you planned.  So you fill your time with making babies.

all for selfish reasons

Now, those who adopt SN kids are in a different category.  But I'm fairly certain that these parents aren't adopting them in groups of 10.

So am I bitter?  hell no!  I love my 2.  They're happy, receive individual attention, and participate in activities, and attend private school b/c we're financially stable.

Don't make assumptions, PP. You're the one who sounds bitter.  Reread your post.  If you come from a large family or have one yourself and were actually PLEASED with your situation, you wouldn't have posted what you did?

What happened?  Didn't you cook a turkey large enough to feed a family of 10+? [/b]

And there's the snark! Knew you couldn't resist. Perhaps you should practice what you preach? [/quote]

I do. I am a mother of two.  In the past, when friends asked me whether they should have 3 (or 4), I've always said no.

And if I'm snarky, so be it.  But I am tired of people putting down "older" moms.

Now if you'll excuse me, poster, my husband and I will be putting our two young children to bed - 1 parent per kid . . . makes the evening so much more enjoyable!  [/quote]
