I have to wonder how all those kids get enough time with their parents. I only have one sibling, and I remember how special it was to do something with my mom or dad without my sister. How much one-on-one time is possible with seventeen children?
If you can support 17 kids and not foist them onto society, more power to you. I only have two kids and sometimes it feels like I have 17, so if I had 17 kids it would probably feel like I had 500 kids!!! No, I wouldn't want to have that many kids. If I were this mother I would have committed suicide a long time ago! This story reminds me of the old lady who lived in a shoe and had so many kids she didn't know what to do.
