Ok, you win, Julia. If someone has quadruplets, that's pretty hard. What percentage of incompetent mothers have quadruplets? Hell, we probably should give massive overdoses of fertility drugs to all women, because if we made them all have quadruplets, even the incompetent ones would raise the level of their game just to survive. You can quote all the weird statistical anomolies you want, but that doesn't change the fact that most women don't even have twins much less quadruplets, and most mothers are whining incompetents with one child at a time. > (And if you're working and you have twins or more, it's more > cost-effective to hire a nanny than to put them all in > daycare, at least for the first couple of years.) What great advice, you pampered princess! > p.s. I'm wondering how many kids Mike Lee has, because it > gets more interesting the more you have First, it only gets more interesting till about 3. Then the costs are marginal. Second, it's none of your damn business. I'm not basing my arguments on my own experience, but rather on my observation of the general incompetence of women to raise children (or do any other useful work). Third, well, I can't do a third, because I'd have to claim that not only is logic on my side but also experience. And I just don't want to do that. You're idiots. I can prove it. That settles it.
