Would agree with that to some extent, was a time when extended family came in to play. Not in my case though may I add. And you just sort of got on with it, you learned as you went along. It's all well and good knowing the basics about feeding and changing nappies etc, but there are deeper issues to bringing up children, and every child is different.
The main issue in discussion though is stopping the pregnancies in the first place, regardless of feckless parents.
