Having lots of children is great, and it also is God's command to be fruitful and multiply.

Those that have them through fornication, adultery, and raise them without working themselves but through government welfare have ruined our society (debt, crime, schools, drugs, housing, culture, etc.

Actually the younger kids wear hand me downs from the older kids, and they also get their old toys. So not that much $$$ to have a lot of kids vs a couple of kids. Until COLLEGE! Then LOOK OUT.

7 billion is the current world population with a billion added every 10 years which will soon be every 9 years then 8 the higher that number goes. We are at a point now where 3rd world nations are overflowing into the developed countries with real estate costs virtually unaffordable as they have tripled, some places quadrupled in the past 20 years alone. Today a college degree is completely useless because pretty much no matter what degree you have, there are a 1000 other people just like you vying for the same job. Traffic gets worse and worse every year where pretty soon traveling 10 mph will be the norm on every highway and street. As that population number grows the poverty rate will skyrocket but it will not thwart population growth, in fact it will boost it where eventually we will reach a tipping point where money will no longer be the currency for trade but violence which we are seeing signs of already. Thank God for breeding cows like this who make sure we get there faster.

If this family does have a little girl I will bet that she will be one spoiled rotten but well protected girl. God help the boy who tries to date her.

Not as much as some think, while we do not have 13, we have a lot of kids, it is not nearly as expensive, per child, as it is to have only one or two.

Awww....there’s not a thing wrong with all those sons, but I wish they could add a girl to the mix.

Being right in the middle of raising around 7 daughters and approx 1 son, I estimate the total dollar impact of a teenage girl on a home is probably about $250/month. A teen son’s drag on a home budget is about the same, but his consumption is in food and not woman accessories.

We shop second hand stores, thrift stores, and walk around the outside aisle of the grocery store looking for marked down items. We don’t have any expensive toys, and have not had TV for 13 years.

Everyone is happy and we hope to be debt free within 12 months.
