Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Mostly lurking...
One of my dad's cousin has about that many kids...big difference, though. They adopted all but three. They have such a heart for special needs kids. It breaks me. Amazing, giving, loving people.

Ann, that's a ferret.
One of my grandmothers was part of a family of 12. On the other hand, this was on a Midwestern farm 100ish years ago, when another baby + about 5 years meant more help on the farm.

Punishingly Intricate
My aunt's ex-husband was one of 16 or 17. His parents were pretty wack-a-loon. And they had ONE bathroom in the house! ONE! Although the kids were more spaced out then the 17 we've been discussing. I think the oldest was in his/her 20s and out of the house when the youngest was born.
My SiL is one of 8 girls and she says in the town they grew up in in NJ, Mendem?, their family was one of the smaller ones. This was in the 70s. the 1970s.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Could they do negative endorsements? Like, a shot of the entire family, then Trojan Man walks into the shot and says to the camera, "Do you want to end up like these nuts?"
Not that I think it's nutty to have that many kids. Trojan Man does, though.

They also get a lot of free shit
Yes, this. Which makes you wonder if they could sustain their lifestyle if they stopped having children (and thus lost the renewed media attention when a new baby is born upping the numbers) and had to rely on "It's been 10 years, where are they now?" specials.

Well, she's 40, so they can't keep this up *too* much longer.

Maybe this is where the "gifts from God" thing comes in....

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yes, if you can manage it, nothing wrong with big families. I have to wonder whether the younger kids are getting lost in the shuffle. Not to mention, how healthy can it be for kids to grow up by making TV specials about their daily lives?
Sparky, that may be happening relatively soon. She's 40 and can't have too many childbearing years left.

...and my imagination turns to wonder the pressure they'll put on the daughters to start having children...
E-gad. I do not think nice thoughts.
