I’m loving folks who have large families more and more, both here on FR and in my personal life.
I’d be willing to bet money that if I needed help of some sort those friends of mine with large families would be the first to pitch in prolonged assistance and encouragement.
The DINKS I know are the most spiritually, financially and time selfish people I know.
Not everyone who is without children has made a choice. What appears to be may not always be so.
You’d be welcome to move in with us, Rb. You like dogs, right, and don’t you play an instrument, too? The snake died, so that’s not a problem ...
I think that having a large family, in most cases, requires that you accept help from others - my first thought is always “Call the Knights!” - and that disposes you to help others, when you can. And the more you do it, the more fun it is, until you’re driving people crazy with chicken dinners and offers to babysit.
