Sure, but it was a different society back then. For example, you could have multiple kids without guilt and dirty looks.
Octocreep deserves every look and should feel guilty. /sarc. Seriously she is one of the reasons why people look at people strangely with so many children. Oh and lets not forget that idiot couple Jan and John or some crap like that...John with eight...some stupid show. We have four children and never get looks...or at least I don’t notice. lol.
My mom was one of 11 - even when she was a child people were shocked at someone having that many kids.
