A large number of siblings is fine, when they have the proper values/beliefs and are DISCIPLINED. No kid can learn any of this if they are undisciplined.I servisouly question the true VALUES and BELIEFS these kids really have. I amnot objecting to the number of kids they have. I am objecting to the progressive way they are being raised - absent parents and when they are around, they are VERY IMMATURE.
It simply doesn’t work to have OTHERS raise your kids.
I think the point was that children in a large family have learn a certain amount of aggressiveness in order to get their fair share of dessert, attention, etc.
It doesn’t matter how loving the family or how well enforced the discipline is. Both cake and parental attention are limited resources and, in large families, if you won’t fight (overtly or covertly) for your share, you’ll get cut out.
