I do find fault with this family. There are way too many kids. Do you honestly believe that each child gets the individual attention and love that they need?? I don't. It's just not possible. I don't believe that financially the parents are doing the best for these children either. Not unless they have a pile of money. I'm sure they have outside help.
What is wrong with having only one or two kids?? I don't get the point of this thread at all. What point are you trying to make??
Do you know anything about this family at all? How can you judge them? My neighbor has 8 kids and they all behave better and are more successful than most other kids in this neighborhood. My parents had 5, and yes, one on one time was scarce, but it was all the more valued and cherished. I also had friends to play with all the time. And sisters to confide in when I needed to talk to someone. My older brother was my protector. I was my younger brother's protector.
I think today's families are at a real loss not having brother's and sister's and learning to get along and share with others at an early age. I think a big problem in society is the number of kids being raised without the responsibility of taking care of their younger siblings or younger cousins and so they think having a baby out of wedlock is a lark, until the baby is born.
My cousin is an only child and she has been envious of us all her life even though we were there for her as much as possible.
Read the book "Yours, Mine, and Ours." Don't watch the movie, read the book. It's a true story. Maybe you'll come away with a different viewpoint.
