The reason for my rating... (Reply to this comment)

Epinions has asked;
"What are the frustrations and the joys that are particular to the task of raising a large family?"
Three children does not constitute a large family and you do not address any detailed tasks of raising such a family.
I have nothing against large families - I just don't feel your article address' the question at all.
BTW
I also have three children - all boys.
If you think you have struggles now wait until they are older and those clothes get worn out and you're no longer able to pass them down.
I cannot believe the amount of food they consume nor the costs of events and needs to attend public school.
I work p/t and my husband works fulltime (55 hours). He also works another 25 hours a week part time.
Little kids are much easier to afford than older ones - and mine are only 13,11 & 7 right now.

Not one bit sorry for having three children but it is sad to see their dad working so hard.

Still, you have to wonder what the costs to the environment are, considering planetary overpopulation. Then again, I don't think I plan on having any children, so yours should balance out to equal the replacement rate for me :-)
Rock on,

My wife and I are trying for our third child (I have a six year old daughter and a two year old son). We get the same feedback you do. And you are right. Family is the only thing that matters, and when I come home it makes my crappy day at work ok.
I will however disagree with one thing. Being a parent it might seem selfish to want time for yourself or with your spouse. I will argue that it is not. Both are needed to keep a healthy and sane household.
Nice review, tell everyone who oposes family to "eat me"... That's what I say.
