Judging Large Families

[Anonymous]

How many people judge large families? Honestly you might not say it outloud but you might just think some things suchs as: They have to be on PA. She should use BC. They all don't share the same father.

For those who judge or have thought those things check this video out:

The Duggars have so many children because they lost a baby because she was on birth control. They decided then that if God would bless them with more kids, they wouldn't use birth control anymore. Not saying it's right or wrong either way, just saying what she said in an interview. None of those kids seem unhappy or resentful about their situation and many want large families of their own.

In any case, I don't judge large families, but two, maybe three, is plenty for me!

I dont assume they are on assistance.

I dont see how someone with 8,9.10 kids can give them the attention and time they deserve.

Often times ( not in all families) the older kids have to watch and be responsible for the younger ones. Nothing wrong with babysitting occasionally but I feel for them. Kids grow so fast and some of them dont even get a chance to be a teenager.

If you have to use your teens to help you on a daily basis you have more kids than you can handle.

i think it's dumb to judge someone just because they have a big family. 

i don't care what the situation is, i look at a large family and the first thing that comes to mind is those lucky bastards!!  lol!!

no, seriously, I came from a very small family which has caused me to want a big, huge family. so i envy people who have a big family. i think it's so awesome!!

ETA: after viewing this video: I believe that the reason why society looks down upon people with big families is because they are black.

No, we do not recieve PA. We don't dress in hand me down rags. We do not homeschool. We do not think that birth control is against what god chooses, in fact we're not overly religious period. Every child is planned for the right time. Every child does get a spectacular amount of attention and time. Because you can't understand how doesn't make it untrue. Some people can handle a tribe, others can't handle one. We are all different, bottom line. Thec children enjoy the fact that there is always someone around to talk to, to play with, to cause trouble and share secrets with. And yes, we're trying for #8.

LOL, you're telling me what I openly admitted to. I've never denied it. I don't even know if I'd call it judging.... More like observation & preference. We all have things we agree & disagree with.

Quoting Anonymous:

Yes, you are clearly guilty of judging.

Quoting Mom2Goldilocks:

I am totally guilty of this. I don't necessarily have a problem with large families in general. But when I see families like the Duggars, etc it irritates me. I  honestly don't think they take their children into consideration when they keep popping them out. I've watched their show and the older children are basically raising the younger children. I don't think that's fair. And I don't care what people say there is NO possible way each child can get individual quality time with mom & dad when there is that many.

Something I've also noticed with people who have a lot or friends of mine with big families is that there homes are always a mess, their kids clothes rarely match and there hair is always a mess. It's like chaos to me. I personally don't care for that. I like things to be in order, nice & neat at all times. Guess that's one of the reasons I only have one :)
