This is not ridiculous. This is following God's commandment, and they are truly blessed. I only have two kids, but the love I have for my kids and the love my kids have for me allows me to understand what they are doing.
I can only assume that you do not have children, or you would understand also.

This was much more common in my great and great great grandparents time.
I have four but I could have enjoyed having 6-8 easily with a wife who felt the same.
I really like having children....they are such a blessing and source of feeling great about life especially when they are in their early years.

Can you people stand ONE differing opinion without making it so personal? No, I don't have children. But does that mean I can't opine that having 14 by the age of 37 is a bit absurd? Gosh.
