Often outside of the Catholic sphere - and inside of it, too - people often forget that human life isn't something that we're supposed to manipulate for our own ideas of perfect. It is, every time, without exception, a miraculous joy! You probably have more patience than I would have.Francescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019788795298785302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-87567643401299764162010-03-25T16:22:35.753-04:002010-03-25T16:22:35.753-04:00I think your point about the baby boomer generatio...I think your point about the baby boomer generation is a good one. It's interesting to see how the people in our generation are more of a mix (at least in my experience): some of them repeat the boomer control mantra, while as you say others want a big family, and others are so into relativism that they won't judge you no matter what!That Married Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363886412589745900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-38534830285716527402010-03-25T14:26:07.279-04:002010-03-25T14:26:07.279-04:00My mother (boomer generation) came from a large Ca...My mother (boomer generation) came from a large Catholic family of 8, most of which were less than two years apart.<br /><br />There were always moments where some of them didn't get along, but that happens, I think, in any situation where people are living together in close quarters.<br /><br />And as for socialization-well, they all went to public school but I believe when there's enough people around (such as what will occur in large families), the socialization will happen just fine. Plus, there are plenty of homeschooling groups in every major city, so when the time comes I'm sure there will be plenty of other families for your children to mingle with.Catherinehttp://www.protecteveryone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-40614193637417891202010-03-25T12:43:40.798-04:002010-03-25T12:43:40.798-04:00Actually Cammie, I think the number one reason peo...Actually Cammie, I think the number one reason people give out so much advice/drivel is to feel self-important.

So I say those people who make the type of comments that they'll fight can't always be speaking the truth. Don't you just love it when people make comments like that?!<br /><br />There's a discussion going on over at another blog I follow about homeschooling. So far it's been pretty negative. If I had more knowledge about homeschooling I'd give more thoughts on the subject. It's http://nowealthbutlife.com/ if you want to take a look.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037863893536646602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-66213878431660730982010-03-25T12:12:36.390-04:002010-03-25T12:12:36.390-04:00I'm always so uncomfortable with questions tha...I'm always so uncomfortable with questions that venture anywhere near this topic; it just seems so personal to me. But I find that it's very prevalant. I have the opposite "problem" but with the same sort of intrusive result - I have just 1 child (and hope for more!), but I get the, "you are going to have more, right? It's not fair to a child to not give them siblings." I always think to myself, "what about people who medically cannot have more? Wouldn't this comment make her feel awful?" I also get comments about how any second child I may have would be "so far apart in age" from my first, but I could write a whole separate post about that :)Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772700828819881141noreply@blogger.com
