Did the kid ask for a pack of smokes when he came out?

Did she give birth in the hallway and from the hallway?

At this point, isn't it more like a water slide and less like a vagina?

Who the hell has 16 kids these days?

/idiots, that's who

In before the pictures of nasty pastrami sandwiches and other suggestive gems.

"Jack 15, Daniel, 13, "

me thinks I see a reason for so many kids...

plus.. actually pretty awesome . and she is pretty hot for a lady that age.

My sentiments exactly. Good luck with your escape plan, kid.

This is where I am at in the world, too. The moment I hear of any woman with 8+ kids, my first thought is "clown car."

/thanks Fark
//seriously, thank you.

I love how they emphasize the family is NOT on public support.

Yup. Called it.
Nothing brings out the haters 'round these parts like someone having lots of babies.

How many were conceived in the delivery room?

vicious cycle

The Duggars are not impressed.

I suggested to Michelle's gynecologist that a zip-line should be installed out of her birthin' cannon for convenience - but the uppity doc wouldn't go for it.
The fellas at TLC LOVED the idea and planned an amusement park ride using the concept.

Oscar arrived last October before 8lb 8oz Casper was born seven weeks ago after a 16-MINUTE labour.

Ya, i have to believe that the last one just pretty much fell out of the cavernous maw of her destroyed mommy parts.

16 kids isn't a family, it's a litter. The only reason to have such a large brood is if you expect most of them to die before adulthood. This isn't the Middle Ages. In the Western world, modern medical care has brought the infant mortality rate way, way, way down. With 7 billion people on the planet, unfettered breeding is irresponsible and a waste of resources. You have to clothe and feed and educate all those kids. How much attention does each one get? I don't know if it's even possible for two people to care for so many offspring, which means the older kids have to shoulder the burdens of parenthood for their siblings.

So, yes, I have a dislike of large families. There is no argument you can make to show that it's beneficial for anyone.

if the woman spends just a few times a day doing kegals, it will not be hotdog/hallway territory even after 20 kids.

My first direct relative in the colonies had something like 14 kids. Apparently there wasn't a heck of a lot to do for entertainment back in the 1600s.

Ohh, get that, would you, Deirdre?

 
/closest pic i could find

If she and her hubby were adopted you'd want to believe they'd adopt the thousands of kids they want instead of spawning them.

My mom only had three, and not one of us took more than an hour.

I was the last. 22 minutes flat. Was nearly born in Admissions. Mom says the ladt thing she remembers is her doctor checking her dilation and saying "oops."

Well, the two girls in the back left of that picture look like they have some potential.

I know the kid just in front of her is young, but his face would also be our sentiment.

The kids in the family picture progress from happy to concerned to upset from left to right. They're like a real life pain scale.

Thank god for geology. The filters at work will never catch me.

I think the one in black is Rita.

Also just noticed you can tell all the ones that take after the father. Crazy eyes.

up2nfg: If she and her hubby were adopted you'd want to believe they'd adopt the thousands of kids they want instead of spawning them.

You might think, but then again some adopted people are very resentful about having been given up and set out to prove you don't have to give kids up for adoption. A distant relative of mine (by two marriages, both of which are now divorced) was adopted and had a very privileged life in her adopted home. Until she intentionally got pregnant at 13 and 15 to prove that point. Just ask, she'll tell you. In fact, the asking isn't important.

Not once but twice...And seeing as they are not, who the fark are any of us to criticize them?

The arguments you've made, though, are all rhetorical. I'm not a fan of people having more children than they can support, but this crowd seems to have somehow managed it: they're not even on the dole. More power to them for that; the only worry I have is that they might encourage people who can't possibly pull it off to try anyway.

Was he born? Or did he just fall out when turned too fast?

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed in your neighborhood.

At this point in history, any child after the second should require the parents to off themselves at 50. Make some room for those of us who don't reproduce like a virus.

thank fark I got a vasectomy.

/wasn't going to produce anything good any way.

aagrajag: At this point in history, any child after the second should require the parents to off themselves at 50.

Blah blah blah. Brainless Methusians are brainless. Empower women with equal rights, and lift populations out of poverty and overpopulation completely goes away. For each couple who chose to invest their time in a brood, there are three who take up travel/fancy cars/dancing horse/hipsterism/etc as their hobby. The US is now below replacement birthrate, which leaves the only first world nation actually breaking even on population growth France (I think, unless they've lagged recently). Populations that don't live in shiatholes naturally limit their population growth, that's documented fact. And it doesn't take any of your I-have-to-be-at-the-gym-in-26-minutes assholism to make happen.

Dear god, they've all got the Innsmouth look.

How about this? When these folks come to take some of your shiat, you get to off them.

who looks after her kids in a former care home and is NOT on benefits

Sure, she claims that they're doing fine now, but what happens when one of them gets sick enough to require hospitalization? What happens when the next pregnancy is the one that goes wrong and takes her life?
