Jesus frick. I'll get down voted big time for this, but how much of a careless horn dog do you have to be to pop out that many kids?

More children, better chance to continue the name of the family

My grandmother had 11 brothers and children.

Back in the day, that's how poor folks ran a farm. My wife's dad has 14 siblings. They farmed and fished down here in Bayou LA Batre. He is 70, the oldest is 90, the youngest is 62. First wife died in child birth, gramps got another and had 5 more. They all left school after 6th grade and went to work. Tough as nails and salt of the earth.

Same with my dad's side. He had 11 siblings. They were share croppers in Mantua, Al. All 12 went on to be productive members of society. 9 of the 12 went on to college and 6 go advanced degrees. All are doing very well for themselves.
