Plus, by that point, the older girls were expected to help their mothers. My M-i-L was one of 12. When she finished 9th grade, her father said that was enough schooling for a girl, pulled her so she could help her mom care for the younger ones.

Early in my career, I worked with a very lovely, sweet woman who was a devout Catholic. She had 11 children. She was so cheerful, kind & upbeat. She really took each child as a blessing. And her husband was just as lovely. -

I don't believe TFG actually went to, or earned a degree from Wharton (or anywhere). I think he (or daddy) gave a big donation for their silence about his claim. -

Some of them are probably a touch embarrassed at being so transparent in their pandering, so are weaving in tiny bits of "truth" to appease some of their audience. But I don't think they'll go all the way. I believe they're greedy & scared. -

Why doesn't anyone ask him how he feels about his mother having been a poor immigrant, and all 3 of his wives being immigrants? -

We have to be a little careful about saying 'humans wouldn't eat' dogs. The practice has greatly diminished due to global awareness, but there were groups of very human people throughout Asia who did raise dogs for food. Probably other places as well, but I don't know that for certain. And I don't know about cats as a source of food. People eat Guinea pigs, rabbits, horses... it's horrifying to me, but not to everyone... -

Very excellent piece! -

I don't see that happening.
(& I also was horrified at the huge number of journalists, pundits, news people, media wonks... who attacked Biden, called him senile & demented - and never amended their attacks once it was clear that at least part of his problem had been how sick he was.) They aren't willing to be honest about TFG because they're afraid he will attack them, damage their income. -

I wonder if nowadays that would be considered child abuse, or child labor issue. -

Indeed! Once one cousin went into the Army, another went to college, and the other got married, my aunt & uncle had to hire a guy they knew, give him a place to live above their garage... and he wasn't reliable. So much for "family farms" (or family fishing boats, etc.) -

The one thing I would have liked least was the fact that the cows need you 365 days a year, so there are no weekends, holidays or vacations. -

My aunt & uncle had a large dairy farm, where we often went during summers. All extra hands were welcome, and I was a curious & willing animal lover. They had barn cats, a herding dog, an elder draft horse, chickens, ducks...so perfect! -

It's so true. I have to laugh- this city girl who learned to milk cows at age 4. My life now kind of stinks, but I have wonderful, fun, amazing memories.

I feel so fortunate for where & how I grew up. The part of NY City, as well as the nature of my dad's work, gave us exposure to all sorts of people from all over the world. And my father was a total feminist. One of his best friends was the first woman to become a PE (professional engineer) in mechanical engineering. However, he couldn't tolerate idiots. -

Have you ever seen the movie "A Day Without a Mexican"? It's a 'funny, not funny' movie. I think that and "Ideocracy" should be shown in high school assemblies. Maybe we'd prevent at least some of the tRump types.
