And t.v. and internet AND the money GREEDY producers keep on exploiting and exalting addictive behaviors, making it seem within the norm when it's risky, selfish and destructive.

Now that you mention it.... It does seem addictive. I've heard there are women who LOVE to have "babies". Maybe she is one of them.

I wonder if there is a 12 step program for this addiction.

Of course ceejay. I did know that, and the title was questionable. But I did think this was a great "hot topic".

So you did raise kids!

OK... for me... 1 is too many. Did I say that outloud? Not to mention, I support retroactive abortion. If you can abort before they are born, I see no reason to stop there! Abort at 16!!!

Seriously, best I know the older kids seem to be the products of positive discipline so someone's been in charge. I'll bet it's been, and still is, Mom and Dad....

Honestly, I think it becomes someone's business when they put it out to the world. If you want someone to "mind their own business" shouldn't you mind your own? By that I mean to not share it with the world?

Now, to on of my thoughts. If the older children are raising the younger children. What kind of a life do they have? Does it make them more responsible or do they miss their childhood? Wouldn't buying a dog do the same thing?
