Yikes - I mean good for them, but I couldn't do it.

No more than two for me - as FH says - never let the kids outnumber you

The only way i'm getting more than two is if #2 ends up being twins or something...

I saw the show too. I didn't think it was fair that everyone had a 'buddy'. It's good to teach kids to help but THEY decided to have that many kids so I fell THEY should be taking the brunt of the responsibility. The mom seemed sooo layed back!! I have 2 kids and am stressed out all the time-lol! Not to be mean either because I am sure money is tight, but, the mom really did need a new hairdo! The kids also dressed like they were Amish!

My FMIL has 13 total. I thought it was INSANE at first too but I love them all and couldn't imagine not having even one of them. Plus...my FH is one of them so I am grateful that she had them. BUT!!! I could NEVER imagine being a mommy to that many of them!!

If that was me I would spend most of my time.. and (drinking that is, not toasting!)

What family nowadays could afford to have that many kids?? Of course the mom is laid back, she is collecting money out of my pocket and yours. Our tax dollars at work my friends!! People have this many kids, because they know they will recieve assistance for it. If they knew they wouldnt be getting an extra check for each kid they had, they wouldnt do it.

I am the oldest of 7, we always had a buddy. My mother is one of 7 and my father is one of 9, all of my family is Irish Catholic, they just keep making these babies, it is not for me. DH convinced me that 2 is the way to go. Not knocking it at all, but when you have that many kids, your whole life is spent mothering. I am more interested in being a mother of 2 and then taking in some foster kids.

also I would like to add that my family has never received assistance, or any of my extended family members, I would not be so quick to judge

The family in this TV story is not representative of most families who have that many kids, and neither is yours. But the fact remains, that most families with 13 or so kids who are regular working class people, cannot afford in this day and age to feed, clothe, send thier kids to college, buy a house, ect on thier budget without assistance. Most people I know who have 1 or 2 kids are strapping to get by unless they have money, I know there is no way they could do it with 10 or 11 more kids without help.
