“I also have the right to say I think it’s insane and not good for the children.”
You can think it, you can say it, you can write it ... doesn’t make it true. From all appearances they are an atttractive, loving, capable and self-sufficient family who all support each other. What’s wrong with that?
From what I see, they are far better off that most of the families I see around here in Yuppieville, where the professional mom heads back to the office within weeks of the birth (or sooner if she can), and hires a nanny to care for all both of her children. Those families are so busy giving their children everything, they’ve taken away the children’s opportunity to be independent. Those kids are set up to expect to be given everything all their lives, incapable of meeting any of life’s real life challenges. That is bad for the children. Having ‘too many’ siblings that the family can obviously afford is not.
Did you see the show about their trip to a Central American country? The absolute poverty of that small town made all of them cry to realize that not everyone had it as good as Americans.
