[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "General Parenting" forum is filled with Moms saying they're overwhelmed, don't know how others do it, are exhausted, etc. And this is with 1 or 2 children. So, don't say Moms with more children are more tired. It's BS. All Moms get tired. All Moms get lazy at times. Don't make this a thing where Moms with more children are just sitting back letting the kids take care of their siblings. I have 4 children and wouldn't dream of letting my oldest (16) care for my youngest (2.5). As I mentioned earlier in this thread, she's not maternal in the least and I don't want anyone parenting my child but me and my husband. [/quote]

This is sometimes due to modern developments
  * moms who work outside the home
  * moms who live far away from their parents, in-laws, brothers, sisters
  * more fun available (in the old days, by far the vast majority of people lived on a farm, and the choice of cleaning up kids or milking cows doesn't bring tears like the choice between  light work at an office in nice clothes and going out to lunch versus cleaning up after kids)

(although, obviously, not entirely due to this.  being a mom is very very hard work)[/quote]
