It’s called ‘welfare’. The state pays for all the kids I’m sure.

They will get child benefit, yes.
* £17.45 a week for the eldest child
* £11.70 a week for each additional child
So this family are making ~ $316 a week in benefits if I have my numbers right.

Right...you’ve got facts to back that up, huh?
Truth is, people can live on a LOT less than you’d think, especially if mom is cooking from scratch, everyone wears hand-me-downs and plays with hand-me-down toys, and no one drives all that much. It requires a great deal of sacrifice, of course, but it can be done.
To: farlander
And your proof backing up that assertion? Links?
Nope, didn't think so.

That is the most ignorant post I have seen today. Without a shred of evidence, you assume they are on welfare. In my church there are families with that number of children and darn near it. (Two have 13, two others have 12, a number have 8 or 9). Their incomes vary widely, and none are on welfare. Food is usually the least of the problems. It costs less to make spaghetti and sauce for 13 kids than it does to provide two with a "Happy Meal", big families like this one tend to be problem solvers. They buy clothes from thift stores, sometimes grow their own vegetables, and do without the latest gizmos and cable tv. Also, some truckers work over time to earn extra money. Conservatives suffer enough from false assumptions about how they live. This family did nothing to earn your insult.

The state pays for all the kids, I'm sure.Do you know the family? Maybe you work for the welfare system there?
I doubt it, so therefore you are not "sure". It's a good practice not to assume anything!

It’s called ‘welfare’. The state pays for all the kids I’m sure. I didn't see anything about that in the story. Do you have access to some facts not in evidence in the story?
