I suppose they all start bringing ...16 kids, Dick!! I suppose they all start bringing each other up after it gets to a certain critical mass. I hope so, anyway. How incredible to grow up in such a huge clan.<BR/><BR/>People will always try to convince you that theirs is the right way about everything from religion to dietary fads. It's their way of reassuring themselves they're doing things properly. It can be ever so boring.<BR/><BR/>At my old university there was a small group of avid Christians who would take the Bible round the bars and say "This is our book, and we believe..." to anyone who would listen. So my friend George got out a book on gardening. "This is my book," he said. "Listen, it's really good."<BR/><BR/>Great writing!Antonia Cornwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754292976861979028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1153934122746738322006-07-26T10:15:00.000-07:002006-07-26T10:15:00.000-07:00My youngest son's wife is child number 14 in a fam...My youngest son's wife is child number 14 in a family with 16 children. She said when they were married they were going to have one and only one. That is a personal decision made by each couple and no one else should think they can or should influence it.<BR/><BR/>I clicked over to your blog from Lisa's Bored Housewife blog. You have an interesting way of writing about a variety of subjects, making it a fun read.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-1153887896960572972006-07-25T21:24:00.000-07:002006-07-25T21:24:00.000-07:00Just found you!This post really resonated with me....Just found you!<BR/><BR/>This post really resonated with me. <BR/><BR/>I heard all the same reasons for having another child but they never rang true for me. My brother and I are not very close for a variety of reasons that are quite painful. <BR/> We were fine with things the way they were but I couldn't say for certain that I did NOT want another. So we decided to remove the goalie and see what happened, and sure enough we scored one. My kids are 5.5 years apart which shows just how long we hemmed and hahhed about this. Now my husband is snipped and we're good with two. <BR/><BR/>You're right- it's our choice to decide to have kids or not and no one can say for certain what is right for everyone.urban-urchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001320142893492171noreply@blogger.com
