Sorry, I didn’t mean to say he was bitter. He posted about his parents’ divorces, and I think that parents who divorce and remarry a lot end up ignoring their kids, and people who perceive they had bad childhoods don’t want kids of their own and end up not liking kids much. I have someone in my family like that. So that was why barnaby said the lady in trouble with her house should not have had 4 kids. It is true that my kids are great because I am tough on them, so they get their satisfaction from their positive interactions and not from whining and manipulating. I swear, so many kids are rude to their parents, but mine are very respectful. They don’t interrupt me while I’m on the computer, not matter how long I’m on it, because they don’t want to annoy me. They help with housework, do their homework. I don’t know if it would have turned out this well had they been “daycare kids”. My kids have a mom and a dad, so their life is better than mine was growing up since I lived with my mom.
The only problem is that my family thinks I spend too much time on the computer, esp. on piggington. So that is a dilemma.
