[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You DID bring it on yourself!!! I really don't have any sympathy for anyone who has 4+ kids and can't seem to get a handle on them or their life.  And all this bullshit about "being open to children" is getting on my last nerve.  For most of human history, most children did not survive childhood. But now that we are all living into our 70's and 80's having that many children is just plain selfish.

I will give you the evil eye if you and your brood are in my way or your children are ill behaved and you are not doing a thing about it.  [/quote] Something tells me when you are old and broke and wanting to draw social security and can't because the baby boomer generation sucked it dry by not saving and refusing to die and refusing to let their parents die at natural ages and staying alive way too long at tax payer expense...THEN I suspect you'll suddenly (much too late) see the wisdom behind having many children.[b] You see, unlike the person you quoted, and the OP, you will have no one to care for you in your old age. Your children, should you maintain any type of relationship with them, will put you in the cheapest raisin ranch medicaid will pay for so as not to eat up their inheritance. OP will have 10 kids to rotate between, and in all likelihood will live a longer healthier life since there have been studies indicating people with more children tend to do so[/b]. Fewer children being born into the next generation also means[b] fewer workers for the next generation...fewer doctors, nurses, CNA's, housekeepers, cooks....fewer of the kind of people you will depend on as you age.[/b] Think about it.[/quote]

Wow - I've posted a few times that most have kids for selfish reasons.  Thanks for backing me up.

FWIW, I'm an only who helped Mom when she insisted on keeping my father home when he fell ill.   7 years later, when he finally died in his in-home hospital bed, neither one of us regretted the sacrifice.

And in regard to your comment about creating future workers . . .  You do realize that with the way the economy is tanking, what "Duggar-type" family can afford college?  What Kate Plus Eight brood can be guaranteed a job?  Have you seen other posters - educated, experienced and holding many degrees - complain about being out of a job for MONTHS?

SIMPLETON

It must be nice living in your head - lots of free space to roam about.

You are quite the simpleton, PP.  I find that most breeders have the intellect of a fly.[/quote]
