Hi LWers.
My brothers got me into HPMOR, I started reading a couple sequences, switched over to reading the full Rationality: AI to Zombies, and recently finished that. The last few days, I've been browsing around LW semi-randomly, reading posts about starting to apply the concepts and about fighting akrasia.
I'm guessing I'm atypical for an LW reader: I'm a stay-at-home mom. Any others of those on here?
Welcome!
How many kids, and how old are they?
6... 7 if you count my adult step-daughter (who I didn't really help raise). Ages 12, 11, 9, 7, 5, and 7-months.
Impressive! Both of my parents came from huge households (7 and 8), but I had the more typical upbringing with only one sibling, who was only slightly older.
My mom was one of 11, my dad one of 4; I am one of 7 myself. It definitely makes having a big family feel more natural.
I'm not a mom yet but I'm effectively a house spouse :)
There are definitely a lot of parents on LessWrong. I'm sure there are at least a few stay-at-home moms.
In fact, 18.4% of the participants in the 2014 LW Survey have children, and 0.5% (8 people) describe themselves as 'homemakers.'
Thanks for the link! I made a (brief, low effort) attempt to find that post earlier, but only came across the census surveys, not the results.
Heck, there's even one survey respondent who has more kids than I do. Cool beans.
