Two things occur to me: First, "the work is done by whoever shows up". Very often the job is given/assigned to whoever raises their hand, regardless of anything else. Second, I suggest as required reading, Kahlil Gibran's book "The Prophet", in this case the chapter on Children, a portion of which I quote here: "Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you....

The real question is: why do you care?

To truly understand the program and how it needs to be ran, people just need to read so much more than they want. I've turned down being SM twice, and I'm bring probed for a third offer now; by the time I know the program well enough to be a good SM all of my kids will be in college 😛
