I had 5 aunts, my mom was my grandmother’s 6th daughter and next to youngest, along with 2 boys...8 in all. All of them had 4+ children, all lived into their late 80-90’s. Besides having 8 children she worked in a shirt factory, as granddad had Black Lung and over saw the children who did all the house and ‘truck’ garden work. She cooked 2 meals a day, canned, all the other work the 8 children couldn’t do. NO WELFARE BACK THEN, certainly little to no medical care. They went through the Great Depression.

This is the CRAP that was just published by NPR.

I’ve had 4 and I turn 70 this next August. I’m the eldest of 4, would have been 6 if mom had not miscarried 2.
