Yeah...contraception could solve most of these 'problems'.
I mean it's not like we are running out of people in this world or in America or Utah or Ohio or any of these places.
Unless you are 100% certified "great" with kids...of ALL kinds these people should really stop at 1 or 2. 3 is the absolute limit if you aren't having a perfect time with the first 2 and even that should be an 'accident' in the 'family planning' department. After that you have no one to blame but yourself. Take planned parenthood classes and get a PHD in contraception or something, but please...stop the madness. I have nothing against big families if you are well off and doing super excellent with them, but what is the motivation of keeping going and going and going?....especially if things weren't hunky-dory with he first ones. To see if the 'next' ones will come out better?
What are these people thinking? There was the single father in Alaska with 4 children...then his wife left him. Please check with your spouse after the first and/or second kid, dude. Actually preferably check with her continually from the start of the marriage, but at the first sign that things could even possibly end in separation STOP PROCREATING!
And the family where the first daughter in a four daughter run was born with cerebral Palsy. Is it because you are rich and well off you think...well we will just keep going to make up for what we lost with the first. B.S.! Stop just stop. One more maybe, but if you can't devote enough time to the rehab of the first daughter...just stop. Don't wait for Jo to come around and help you out. Just stop.
Or, I mean it's nice if you have a well paying job and can live out in the boonies and your wife can be a stay at home mom. I'm happy for you, but unless you went into the marriage seeing your prospective bride work with kids and having a swell and competent time with 3 or 4 unruly ones at a time just stick to one or two. Especially if your longhaul trucking job leaves her alone to deal with your progeny.
Okay, it's out of my system. I'm done now .
Get yer cursor off my spoilers !
