Im sorry but in the post-church- contraception era, knocking out 6 kids is just irresponsible.

Why? If you can afford to rear them. If both parents want them. Kids from large families are usually the best to adapt socially. Have the corners knocked off them.

Irresponsible ffs:D

Then there should be a special thread opt in thread. A random selection of posts from a posters past are generated and posted....other posters read them and try to gauge how many siblings they have, from how rounded the posts are.

I've seen it with large families where kids have to fit in as opposed to the one/two child model where the child is a cock*d up bollix. Spoilt rotten.

Online scutter flying right back at you mate

6 children is irresponsible now that's a scutter statement. Is there a cut off point?

With your anecdotal evidence we have established you are a reputed ethnographer. Explain to me how six kids could possibly receive the same/adequate care/attention as 2-3? Im all ears..there are good reasons why such large familes are not the norm in Ireland anymore, some of which ive previously mentioned.

That's the very point, they receive less attention and aren't spoilt. Too much attention is far worse than too little in many situations. Can you not follow a simple argument?

There's no logical reason why it is irresponsible to have 6 children. Family situations, finances differ. You make a silly sweeping statement.

Stick your 'reputed ethnographer' bs where the sun doesn't shine! In my career i've come across all types of family, and in my experience the 1 child model where Johnny is told he can do no wrong is one of the worst. These kids are always right, can never be corrected. It's always about them and they are the centre of attention. In larger families kids learn to share, fit in, their behaviour in group situations is enhanced.

Good luck,

Tyler 'one line sweeping statement' Cheribini:D You actually never gave ONE reason why it's irresponsible to have 6 children if you're someone from a socio economic group like Miriam O'Callaghan. Posts full of verbosity but really lacking in detail. Lol:D

P.s 'Infantilising' makes no sense grammatically in the context of your opening statement.. It broadly means to treat someone as a child or in a way which denies their maturity in age or experience. Perhaps you meant 'infantile'. Your verbosity is even letting you down!

The best way to countenance silly sweeping statements is always to make silly sweeping statements of your own.

Those posters of late-term miscarriages which are placed on the main shopping street, which are surrounded by older men(usually) have succeeded in changing quite a few youngsters from voting repeal and replace to repeal. Especially after the Tuam Babies find.

On behalf of only children can I just add that whereas you may get more attention it is not always beneficial. Practically there is only.one child to do all chores, plus now (and I'm well grown up) a daily check in is expected. My parents had quite an up and down relationship so you teetered on who to side with living in a pressurised atmosphere. You are the natural trying to solve a problem person. Now that both are older I'm the only one to accompany to hospital appointments. So far this week I've been at 3, picked up prescriptions, organised an electrician, went to two funerals as my mam didn't want to go her own, did the grocery shopping, missed a night.out with friends as my dad wanted to go for a pint. It is not easy being an only child. As my best friend nicely said to me without thinking...you will one day be an orphan all alone in the world.

Anyway on the Late Late it is desperate. You can't mix light entertainment and serious discussion.

My family of origin is slightly bigger than yours, and even with a couple extra bod's, this is how it is with aging/older parents. I sometimes envy ppl who have younger parents or lots of siblings(assuming those siblings will help in such things). Hang in there, because when all this is over, you will have the peace of knowing you did everything you could, believe me, that is worth a lot.

The battle to repeal the 8th ought not be fought on the grounds of sexism, shouting that men should not be telling women what to do with their bodies. That will win an argument by silencing the opponents until ballot box time. It ignores that many men are pro-abortion, and risks alienating some of them, and it doesn't begin to engage the many women voters who will want to block it. We've seen too often lately how forcing opponents underground is not always healthy.

Lastly, we're not exactly China but I fear that easy abortions will lead to greater chance of an abortion for a female foetus. Hows that for grounds for equality.

There's enough reasons related to health and humanity for the living, and to mature by not secretively passing our issue on to England in the form of a weekend trip, is much more capable of winning support rather than telling men they simply have no stake in the lives of babies beyond being sexist. I am pro-choice, but the nuances of the repeal arguments needs greater attention.

It has come to my attention that PeterTheNinth has closed his account

This is very sad news, Peter is the funniest, most eloquent, wittiest poster I have ever known on this site and I will miss his posts a lot.

Peter (and his previous incarnations) added a huge amount to the Television Forum and frankly, neither me nor any of you of are as good at this Boards thing as he was.

Salute to you Peter, hope you come back soon.





If Peter has already started posting under a new account, please disregard the above. I don't want to give him a big head.

Also children nowadays seem to (arguably) get too much supervision, monitoring and control, doing less and less by themselves or on their own initiative; it's not surprising that this leaves them anxious and struggling to deal with adulthood when they haven't been able to learn resilience or independence in childhood

I think Ryan thinks it's kitch having country on. He is probably still stuck in 2005 when 'Walk the Line' came out and saw a resurgence in Johnny cash.
He's a parody of a talk show host. And not a good one.

RTE chatshows are an enemy of real music. You can be sure that this drivel promoted on the Late Late Show is not proper country music either. I played Elvis at the weekend doing songs like Reconsider Baby and Starting Today and they are proper country music songs and nothing like that Farmer Wants a Wife drivel Irish singers do. Modern Irish singers haven't a clue how to do proper country songs. Elvis and singers of that era could do country and all styles properly and knew music.
