Oh, you responded with "who cares' referring to my family member's comment and the yet you felt it acceptable to mention your wife"s comment on another thread. I just found that hypocritical.

Oh, and his comment in privacy to me about it looking like a compound was very mild and we laughed. We never discussed it further. He is very kind and never really tries to hurt other people feelings. Their property looks like a compound and it was a witty play on the news and this observation. He probably has never even considered how many children a family should have.That topic would not even interest him to discuss and probably embarrass him if I talked about it.

I guess it is time to limit having children when you look as miserable as the parents seem to be.
