What do think about parents who take their 1 year old and 3 year old on a months-long sailing trip on the Pacific, in which they end up needing to be rescued?
answer:The age of the children really has no bearing on this. One of the kids got sick; what does the age matter? If the kids were 16 and 14, and got appendicitis, what difference? Same if there were no kids, but one of the couple got sick. I think criticism comes from a place of envy.
