I think if you look at large families and the number of addicts that come from them, it is not going to exceed the number of addicts that come from small families, especially not in the case of both parents being around. Same thing with felons. You go to a prison and most of those people there did not grow up in large families with both parents around. I do not think it is fair to assume that children that grow up in large families are more apt to become addicts and criminals or that they will lack attention. I think that is a completely unfounded assumption.
I'm just going to not read this thread anymore. Obviously it is full of a lot of unfounded opinions and people with control issues. |
Oy you just love drama and getting wound up. No one assumed or even intimated that children that grow up in large families are more apt to become addicts or criminals. I didn't make a general statement here. I just specifically spoke on that family's issue. Jesus you just jump all over and get agitated and want to spew off and add things to the mix that weren't even stated. As I have said before you just identify way too much with this family due to your own circumstance. I have no idea how in the world you don't think that a child won't lack attention. You have a ton of children it stands to good reason that no one will get an overly abundant amount of time from their parents. There is just so many hours in a day.
