[quote=Anonymous]This is the PP from 13:01.

[quote]So let me ask this to other mothers to be clear about the discussion I'm interested in having whether I worked for them or not: if you had an extremely hyper active child proned to violence and screaming fits and attacking his younger sibling, and a 2 year old that only has 1/4 of the words he is supposed to have and now demonstrates the same behavior (they fill me in pretty good on the atmosphere of the home on weekends and evenings) would you have another baby? I almost fill like it's abuse and I feel so strange picturing what it's going to be like for the baby and how the others will cope.[/quote]

Both the families who have gotten pregnant during my time with them have had, in my opinion, chaotic family life with poorly disciplined children. That's a nice way of saying working with their kids was incredibly stressful and if I was in their shoes, there's no way I would have thought it smart (or even possible, given the kids' behavior) to have another child. But these are not your children, it's not your family, and frankly none of your business. I don't mean that to say I didn't think the same exact thoughts you did, about why would they think it a good idea to have another, but I mean that's how you have to approach it. It's their choice.

Because you're basically asking why families would do this, I'll share that the first experience I had with a pregnant MB involved deception on the mother's part in order to get pregnant. She confided in me that she wanted a third, her husband didn't, and she was glad she got pregnant because she "got lucky" and didn't think she'd get another chance. Apologies for the TMI, but there you go. The second family's pregnancy I was told was an accident, and they essentially were as nervous about another baby as I was. So there you have it. No family is perfect. Accidents happen. People are human and make whatever decisions they want to.[/quote]
