Four is sort of a large family. And I’m sure it takes a lot of effort. I just mentioned my family as a basis of comparison. I was in no way being dismissive.
 
Four is no comparison to 12, that is for sure. We put in a lot of effort, hopefully so that our children will also choose to have children. Parentification of kids is sad, I'm sorry that was your experience if it does not emote positive memories :)
 
My experiences emote a mixed bag of memories. Some good, some bad. My father was an electrical engineer. He recieved his diploma from Heald Engineering Collage after he returned from WWII. He spent much of his career checking other engineer’s drawings. My mother was a disorganized hoarder. Neither was suited towards a large family. And I can remember being mistaken for my younger siblings father.

I decided long ago to not have children. And I wish my parents stopped at 4. Or less. My childhood would have been much more normal.

Dismissive?? I don’t think so.

Of course, you don't. I'm trying to give the man and his wife kudos for wrangling four kids, and here you come saying, "That's nothing. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, my parents had 14 kids. Herp DERR."

Ha! Not really, though. I grew up in a home that was so filthy, I couldn’t let any of my friends in for my embarrassment. We had so little money that our meals were a package of hot dogs thrown into a pot of boiling water. And a box of frozen spinach also tossed into a pot of boiling water. I had to work to pay my high school tuition. We never had window coverings. I only remember going to one movie. My father bought an old 46 passenger school bus to turn into a camper. He used it to commute to Lockheed. My first car cost me 40 dollars. I would get wet when water would splash up through the badly rusted floor boards. My father bought a used 1952 Cadillac for 25 dollars that had a smashed up rear end and needed a valve job. I never had a quiet place to study. Sometimes I’d go up on the roof of our house to escape the chaos inside. And college was out of the question.

I was definitely not privileged.
 
That is a good call G!!

Bring the whole fam to meet us motogenerates!!
Love to have some kiddos around. $5 bucks each to polish my bike. :laughing

Those little hands can do Ducati wheels. :teeth

oh yeah, i ALSO know what's some franks in boiling water, too. Then again, I was a single kid.

so, x12 or 14... like I said, America is great ;) ... we had 1 kid but still , Franks. Wasn't every year though. (in fact some felt like "damn good", depends on your viewpoint!!! maybe my mom was a pretty good cook.)

Franks were a staple, though. They sold them in links, wrapped in a white/foily paper in the super'.

also, frozen spinach didn't exist in the store., block.
