A. I certainly don't understand it either. And it's not just the financial impact - how do the parents devote any significant amount of meaningful time and attention to the children individually? If this is the family I've read about before (Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar), I remember them mentioning that a lot of the parenting responsibilities fall on the older children. That's just sad. What a travesty to force upon those children in the name of something like 'we'll welcome more children as long as God blesses us with them'. Nuts.

How has having lots of children improved your life and marriage and the lives of your children?
Q. Specifically, if you have more than 3 children, how do you think a large family helps the parents AND children? Did you have lots of children for spiritual reasons? Did you adopt? Do you notice more maturity, selflessness, caring and obedience in your children than other families with only one or two children?

A. I'm 35yrs with 4 children (all my own). I have three boys, ages 9, 7 and 3 and a baby girl who was born in Aug 2007. My husband and I planned on having 2, MAYBE 3 kids at the most, but deep down I wanted a big family. I'm one of three and have step siblings as well and really enjoyed that large family atmosphere. I don't know how I did it, but I talked my husband into having 4 kids. I believe my children are the way there are because of my and my husband's parenting methods, not because there are 4 of them. I've seen only children behave better than mine and only children behave worse. I honestly don't think that has much of an impact on a child's behavior. It's how the parents react and teach that does. Whether we had 1 child or 7… [cont.]

Do children behave better when their homes are neat and clean?
Q. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, since we asked my MIL for advice about helping our 2 year old sleep. She said something to the effect of "Make sure your house is clean, make sure (your child) is clean..." So, what do you think? Do children (small children specifically) behave better, act happier, and sleep better when their homes are neat and clean? What degree of cleanliness or messiness would make the difference?

A. i agree that parenting has everything to do with better behaved children. Your MIL may be referring to Qi and Feng-Shui (without realizing) That when things are in order, the energy or Qi should flow unobstructed and there is little or no displaced (misplaced) or blocked energy flow. I once had a sleepless night and I'm sure it was the energy from a big pile of unfolded clothes left in the middle of the room that night. A good parent is in control of her children even when she is not present.
