Excellent article, and I agree with the author about the incessant whining. On a personal note, I have heard a lot more whining from moms with smaller families than I have from moms with larger families. It drives me crazy - my mother was a "whiner" and boy, did it make for a confusing childhood. My sister, brother, and I never could quite figure out if she was miserable because of us or in spite of us.
