Thank you, that's exactly what I was getting at! Of course people have a choice to have kids, more power to them, I just can't understand why they would have that many & I'm just wondering if maybe her husband is pushing her against her will to have these kids. It's just odd in this day & age someone having that many kids w/the world the way it is now, prices of everything have skyrocketed...back in the days of farming, yes you would have a bunch of kids to help out on the farm, but now w/farms becoming almost extinct, that mentality has certainly gone out the window.
