THE PARENTING PARADOX

Or one of them.

How is it, that each one of my four daughters, has a different set of parents?

The parents to the first born, for instance, don't resemble even closely the ones of the fourth.
The ones of the second child I just can't stand, and the ones of the third should be prosecuted.
Nope, we did not enter them in the foster family system, we did it all on our own!

Is being parents of multiple offsprings, necessarily conducive to multiple personality disorder?
Let's look at the data.
