One difference here is that my old buddy in Gainesville is a lefty instructor at UF- then a lefty grad student. He has always had a hard time about the 4 kids and used to apologize for them a lot.

Frankly, I can't see apologizing to anyone that my children exist. And no one better try to get me to, either.

His wife has a much better attitude. She loves children and loves raising them. Actually so does he but it conflicts with his environmentalism and numerous other isms that = Academic Liberal.

My daughter, the only child of a single mother, plans to have four children, at least, if her future husband can afford for her not to work outside the home.
She plans to homeschool them all, and write books for extra cash.
She is nine.
I encourage her dreams.
