Well I am one of four children so I think that larger families are really cool!

I have myriad of thoughts
First that poor woman. pregnancy is rough on the body and most people i know who have so many kids they have them close together
Second i wonder what they do for a living because kids are expensive and i can't see myself having that many because i would be brook.
Thirdly i say those poor kids. Yes they are rich in family and love. they hopefully are close to thier siblings and hopefully have enough to eat but unless the parents are wealthy they just get the basics. Yes that is techniacally all you need but what a life to live with no frils. NO trips to disney no going to a fancy resutaurant on your B/day or even vacations.

That they must have heard all of the ignorant and rude comments that I have. I have 5 kids and am the youngest of 6.
I wonder if they have any organizing tips they could help me with. I wonder what the ages of their children are. And I wonder if they feel as blessed as I do.

My gramma had six children and it's a blessing to have such a large family. They were poor mormans (they justifiedly lived off the government since my grandfather is a marine), but they sent their children through formal education, they improved the quality of life on the native american reservation where they were born and they made sure that their children were loved.
No one is perfect, so whatever went wrong in my father's life and his sibling's lives, they can't blame their parents, because my grandparents were strict but loving.

I'm the oldest of six. I once asked my mother why she had
the last three (because, at the time, I didn't see any need for them) and she asked me why I thought she didn't want six children. We weren't wealthy, actually very poor, but it was our parents' choice to have us, and we were all very glad to have each other, especially last year, when our parents both died - within six weeks of each other. There's nothing right or wrong about the number of children anybody has, as long as they are loved and cared for, and it's the preference of the parents to have that many. Don't judge them, it's really none of your business, anyway.

I think wow! I have five kids too! One passed away and the other four are great kids. And I'd spit on the shoes of anyone who dared to put me down because I "dared" to have a large loving family.

My first reaction is "Wow, she must have a lot of patience".
People have many reasons for having large families. I think it's great.

It depends on if they are taking care of them or if we (tax payers) are. If they are in a healthy and loving family and they are well taken care of I say good for them, God bless them for being obedient to God when He said we should multiple the earth. It takes a lot of faith to raise a big family.

I have no problems with this if both parents can support and raise them well and in a good environment. I think for a single parent it should be a crime. I do not believe that we should support anyone with more then two children. If they can not keep their legs closed they should not get any help from tax payers.
