I don't think so. I have three children with one more on the way, we live in an apartment in the 'don't leave your car unlocked' part of town, and my husband makes well under 30K a year.
I have, according to various people, a brood, a litter, a sideshow, a tribe, and a pack. The pejoratives get old really fast.
Perhaps the reason these people live in a one bedroom apartment is because, like us, they don't take government assistance. If they were, I imagine they'd have a larger, subsidized place. According to the article the father is present, and has a job. It's more than we can say for a lot of people.
I see you, like me have a personal stake in this. We both hurt on different sides of the equation. My best friend has three beautiful kids that I am godmother to. She works her butt off and takes great care of them. I would never consider three kids a litter a brood a team. I wouldn't call ten kids that if mom and dad support them. I just don't want to pick up the slack.
Congratulations to you, LEL!
I don't have anything to say about this couple's business, but I do hope that peoples natural instincts kick in and give them all the help and best wishes that they're going to need.
God bless all the little babies in that family, and extra prayers for Mom! She can kiss peace and quiet goodbye for the next 18 yrs.!
