The big families are in my parish. We’re considered the “small” family with ONLY six kids so far. Most of the families have 9-12+ kids.
Glad to hear their is some congruence between what is taught and what is lived out.
As an aside, a friend who worked for an Amish farmer one summer, was riding back in a horse-drawn wagon after a hard day of work.
“Amos, how many kids do you have anyway?”
“12”
... pause...
“No, 13!”
True story.
