I read through this conversaton, MOST of it was people bitching about others having more children than they thought they should have had. Are you disputing this?

What perspective should I have found by reading this thread? You say that I may find a different perspective, so maybe you can tell me what perspective I should have 'found'.

I am not 'hoping' to find anything, what I did find was a bunch of people bashing others for making different choices than what they woudl have made. That is fine, but all I am asking is that they justify this.

The compound comment was obvious, no need to attempt to justify it. As you said, it was associated with recent events.

I thought my son's comment was funny considering the news

What news? Could it have been the Moromons in Texas? Or was it something else?


It is likely they are breeding so much for self centered reasons.

I live at the edge of a neighborhood that has a dirt road leading into the foothills. There is a mormon family with 16 children. They drive a custom SUV and the mother has stickers on the rear window with stick figures representing each of the family members. The mother believes she will rise to a higher level of heaven.

My son refers to their house as the compound

The message that you delivered was that your son was reffering to it as a compound because of the children. Or was it because of the stick figures? Or maybe the SUV?

Ok though, fair enough, when you were having your children it was merely breeding.
