That's got to be so expensive to take care of and feed all of those kids!!!

But apparently they're up to the challenge, so good for them!

BTW...not everyone believes with/is ok using birth control. I don't think they should be disrespected for their beliefs unless they're harmful in some way.

They seem to be very nice, loving, caring parents. Some could argue that they wouldn't have enough time to give attention to all of those children. But, frankly, if you have more than one child, some child *could* feel left out. But it's really not the quantity of time, it's the quality. What about parents who go to their kids' games and sit and talk on their cell phones or wander around socializing, not being engaged in their childrens' activity? That's certainly not quality time although it certainly amounts to quite a bit of "quantity".

Of course, I'm a bit biased because I love large families. I have always wanted 12 children. And, maybe one day I can adopt some more (7! I'm certain I'll run out of time to do all of the things I would wish to do with my children but I'll certainly not run out of love for them.

Warmly,

I understand!! My mom came from of family of 9 children and so did my dad. My husband came from a family of 12 children (him included)!!

I have to say, family holidays are crazy as heck over here. I am satisfied with just one though
