Whenever one of us goes with 2, 3 or 4 of them somewhere, it is not uncommon to have people comment on us having “our hands full” when we tell them we actually have 5 and a 6th one any day now, they look at us for a few seconds as if we had just told them we landed from Mars and want to meet their leader.
A friend of mine married a Korean girl and they have 4 sons. They are a sight to behold here but whenever they visit family in Korea, where two young kids would be extraordinary, they are an absolute attraction.
It’s critical for men to develop themselves in all areas to ensure they don’t fall victim to the slow, steady trap of perpetual weakness. Every man needs to get in the gym. Every man needs to have control over his mind and emotions. Every man needs to go out and live life instead of sitting on his ass playing video games all day. Because if a man doesn’t do those things, he becomes a prime target for the enemy, who will use his weakness to destroy him and those around him.
I REALLY hope you thoroughly realize that you are NOT "The Alone Stranger" in this matter!!! When my wife and I got married, at age 36 for her, 38 for me, we decided we had better get with it in order to have at least 6 children. About our 4th, when we attended a 'company' Christmas party, we were both roundly taken to task for DARING to have the 4 we had at that time. One university professor, a geologist, complained to our faces for at least 30 minutes about how we were using too many of the earth's resources, etc., ad nauseaum. After he was done pontificating, I simply said, "F....you, Roy" and took my wife and left the table. And we received the same treatment from others over the years. We were asked, pointedly, why we didn't abort any after #2. A niece of my wife's and her husband have been treated even worse. They have at least 8 at this point, including a pair lovely girl twins. Her husband is a U.S. Marine, too. They don't accept very much bullshit from anyone. In our case, we didn't quite make it to 6. Our 6th, Liam, died in the womb before he was born, and after that we could have no more. My beloved wife was over 40 years old at that point. It isn't only Europeans who are insane in this matter; IMHO it affects the entire world.
In fairness in Italy people are mostly positive and surprised, not actively hostile as in this country badmouthing children is liable to get you a smacked mouth. Also people are starting to realise that they were lied to. I think the problem in the US is still pretty awful.
The worst I had was a guy at the airport whose kid was squealing her head off and i offered her a little sweet I had to distract her. The (English) parents were grateful and in conversation it came up I had soon going to have six of them and the man looked at me as if I was insane and said: “why?” He wasn’t joking. Sad.
