One of the cool things about my Tridentine parish is that we have several very large families (7+ kids). The kids are very well behaved.

In our tiny parish, we have two large families: One, with all daughters, are all grown, but still all sit together with their mom. The other is a young military family. They have eight children: Six boys and two girls. The oldest boy is now a lector. When we lived in Minnesota, we were about 25 miles from an older couple who had had twenty-five kids. Yep. Two or three sets of twins, and all the kids were living.

I love to see large families out and about. I always compliment the parents for doing such a good job, because, almost invariably, their children are better behaved than any others to be seen at the moment, including my grandkids.

Any more, four or five children is considered a "large" family. When I was young, "large" didn't start until after the sixth child. I was the middle of seven.
