Its not so much the number of children as the ridiculous closeness in age. People assume (and usually correctly) that there are more kiddos on the way. If the words "brood" or "flock" are coming up, maybe one of your rugrats was running amuck. I usually only let one of my "use birthcontrol, for god's sake" comments fly when I've almost lost footing over trying to avoid an egocentric (not an insult, we all as humans are egocentric until age 8 or so) toddler meandering unchecked in my way.

God bless the roadblocks, but honestly, don't make yourself a baby factory. I'd have lots more respect if you adopted one or two of the little terrors than just popped them out uncontrollably as thousands of homeless, parentless, poor children die each year of abuse and neglect and starvation.

Not your problem, you say? You want something of your owe loins to live on, you say? We're all connected, so what's yours is mine, sista. And overpopulation IS your problem. Our country kills land and animals and pumps out a buffet of chemically poisoned produce and preservative-ladened products to "feed" you so you can live a decade or two less than you normally would (even less if diabetes or heart disease gets ya) and make room for that family down the street with the "more, the merrier" mentality.
