Hmmmmm. Everyone is bagging on these people for having so many children, yet I got slammed for suggesting that birth control was in order for a family of seven expecting thier eighth in nine years.

Ah, FR. So inconsistent.

Sorry to hear that. But, who "slammed" you? Certainly not me.

**Everyone is bagging on these people for having so many children**
I don't think the number of kids is the problem. I think that they chose to live like swine is the problem.

I think that one should have as many children as they want to have, as long as they can SUPPORT them without stealing money from me. The trashing of the house is ridicules. If their mortgage was as high as mine, they sure as hell would not have trashed it. I guess there are different calibers of people, those that default on a $115.00 dollar mortgage and those that don't default on a $1500.00 dollar mortgage.

I can barely support two children. I have two children. We ain't going to have sixteen more.

PS: I didn't slam you either.

Well, stand back dearie, I am going to slam you too.

My mother was one of twelve children. Most of those children had large families of eleven, twelve and even seventeen children. I am in the process of organizing a reunion for the direct decendents only of my mother's father and mother. I have not done a head count yet, but some have told me that it might be close to eight hundred people.

And you know what? Only a dozen or so have been rumored to be deadbeats.

Who are you to dictate the number of children a parent can have?
