[R] VGAM-vglm

[minta]

Can somebody explain to me why I get different results using multinom(package
nnet) and vglm(package VGAM)?
I think I understand the result I get with multinom, but what has vglm done?
How can I interpret the results?

(paarer: nominal variable, classes for different jobs, K26A:number of
children)

library(nnet)
erg<-multinom(paarer~K26A)
library(VGAM)
erg<-vglm(paarer~K26A,family="multinomial")

erg2
Call:
multinom(formula = paarer2 ~ K26A)

Coefficients:
  (Intercept)       K26A
3    1.036560 0.35340860
4   -0.801480 0.27423903
5    1.191205 0.05197307

Residual Deviance: 3358.351 
AIC: 3370.351
