Per him, he needed a hobby. Per me...GET A JOB !!! Of course he is an unemployed medicaid recipient. Un married...so you can imagine...even at 50.00 per child a month (which is piss change) he would have to pay out 1100.00 a month in child support alone. This is just theoretically speaking. His oldest is now 36. He is only 49. I guess my point is: I have one child..and that will be it for me..I don't know how some people can have this amount of children...it blows my mind!!!

I believe it was $100,000 dollars worth of equipment for $11,000 dollars. 2 of everything. But the best was the DISHWASHER that did a load n 3 minutes!!!! Hellooooo<br/>Got to have it! also the other great thing was 4 washers and 4 dryers.....I only have 4 kids but I got to have it!

Because that couple looks like a couple of folks that like to get it on?<br/><br/>Gross!!

They have 16. Apparently the people on TLC can't count...they said 14, yet I counted 16. There will be a show on June 11th called ON the Road with 16 children. Wait - I lied. They have 16.

My uterus hurts out of sympathy. I know a family that had 18 kids in my hometown. It's not only Irish Catholics, Tom. It's German Catholics as well. That, or too much beer maybe.

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 13:27:31 +0000 http://midwesternmommy.com/2006/04/03/yes-melissa-you-are-indeed-correct/#comment-623 I think I saw the TLC special on them. I have to question how fair it is to have so many children only to expect the older ones to have so much responsibility for the younger ones. If I recall correctly each older kid was responsible for a younger one. How can you have a normal childhood like that? And whatever happened to kids getting a little one-on-one time? I don't think God himself has enough time to give each of those kids an ear every day. I think I saw the TLC special on them.
