Uh, this post could go on for a few pages.
I'll start with my older brother and his wife. Now, I love my older brother, but 20 years of drug and alcohol abuse combined with a severe head injury when he was 18 have left him not too bright. But he thinks he's really really smart. So between, being on and off drugs, cheating on his wife occassionally, them splitting up then getting back together and deciding to have more kids, I wouldn't really know where to begin. They have two kids right now, and had decided they were done. Well, after the last near divorce they decided to try again for a girl. They claimed to be done. Until the day of the ultrasound. When my sister in law found out it was another boy, she started planning for their fourth! Thankfully, my brother has plans for a vas.
Don't get me wrong, it's none of my business how many kids anyone has, but they are a special circumstance. They were in complete denial of their oldest son's autism until he was 7 and a teacher forced them to go for an evaluation (we had all been asking them to do it practicallys since he was born). They have no money and my brother bounces from job to job. He hasn't worked in a few months because of health problems. That and he's on and off of drugs/alcohol. My sister in law is no genius either. When her oldest was two she wanted to take him to Mexico to get the arches on his feet raised so that he would be a better athlete. Thank God my brother was at least smart enough to put an end to that.
