Default Sixteen Kids...

Holy cow, so Im watching The Today Show this morning, and the family with 16 kids is on. Holy crap, how in the world do you manage. My gf's family has 4 kids, and I dont see how you do that...I feel bad for them when they go through puberty. Oh, they drive a sweet 21 pass. bus. What do you guys think about this? Anyone come from a big family?

yeah i heard about that. If you've seen "Cheaper By The Dozen," I'm sure its like that only worse. I just can't imagine actually having to deal with 16 kids. I know I won't be having that many. There are ways to make sure of that lol.

Glad to say, I am an only child. Let's just say it has its benefits

Imo thats dumb to have that many kids. Now I dont know those people but you better be bringing home some serious bank to support 18 people. Those kids are certainly on their own when it comes to college and other things that some parents can help with.

I really dont see how those kids are getting the individual attention they need. You have to wish them well but its dumb imo.

Yeah, my professor was talkin about central asia and how the russians brought a huge Russian population into central asia to get the area more accustomed to Russian traditions and what not...problem was most women there have between 10-15 children throughout their life...and the Russian population was dying from all the wars and poverty...

I know, I cant even imagine. They said they buy all their clothes at like garage sales and get free ones from people. I dont wanna have to do that if I have kids. I just dont know what they'll do about college...
