Someone sure has some funds to be able to support 15 kids.
But wow. Just imagine a household with 15 kids, and possibly more on the way...
Either that or they are thrifty.
Maybe when they're little -- but when they're all teenagers wanting to drive and all that? I guess each kid won't get his own room, tv, and bathroom --- probably have to share toys and clothes --- probably a very nice family.

Food must be a killer expense, but you probably save A LOT on clothes as time goes by. Kids never wear out their clothes, they can probably easily be worn by three kids in a row, as long as you avoid the trendy stuff.
People used to have big families like this all the time. And remember, the improverished third worlders do it all the time.
I only have one kid, so I better shut up now. Good luck to mom and dad and all their kids!
I have a neighbor with 11 children. When we first moved in, we were a bit apprehensive about it, but they turned out to be absolutely model children. Their mom turned down a full ride to Vasser to be a full-time mom. The father is a technician for Xerox and part-time hiking/fishing guide. Their kids are all very intelligent, well-fed, clean and well-behaved.
My father has 12 siblings.
A large family used to be more common; now they are often treated as freaks. :-(
