[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never judge a single child household because there is likely a fertility problem.

I will always judge a 4+ child household because there is definitely a values and/or intelligence problem.[/quote]

This post is emblematic of the bizarre hatred many citizens of dcumlandia have for families with 4+. Three is the new two, but 4+ prompts ridiculous responses. Having observed this in countless threads, the common denominator seems to be envy. Most of the criticism starts with "they have a 4th child as a status symbol." So weird, right? But every thread includes those comments which clearly are prompted by envy. Then the rock throwing begins: "they're uber religious," "too stupid for birth control," "poorly educated," etc.

DH and I have 4 kids. We aren't very religious, we both have advanced degrees and professional careers, and we most certainly did not have our 4th child as a status symbol. We know several families with 4 kids (because after all, 4 is the new 3), and they are very comparable to our family.
