Am I supposed to?
I bet she looks like a 2lb bag of deli roast beef that got blown up by a firecracker.
Quote:Why is this newsworthy?
Because the story will provoke controversy and sell newspapers.
Of course well-thought-out controversy eventually provokes social change.

My mother also comes from a family of 11. Many of the things you said about indoor plumbing, hand me downs and all that are exactly the way things were for my mom too. They ran a farm so all the kids got up at 4 or 5 am before school and did chores.
But the point is they did it without govt help and everyone turned out just fine. :wink:
Years back, I remember watching a Phil Donahue show that was really great.
They had I 4 or 5 families and the theme was Families with a LEAST a dozen children. Some had more.
It still stays with me how there were some common threads amongst all the families.
The big ones were in charge of the little ones, under Mom and Dad of course
Even the littlest ones had a "job" If you were over 2 years old, you had something to be responsible for.
No one had "special needs" in that if chicken wings were being served for dinner, and you didn't like chicken wings.....you still ate chicken wings.
There was obviously much love for each child, but obviously a lot of discipline too.
The kids past a certain age were all aware that everyone had to work together to make this thing work.
The parents were VERY innovative.
One father owned a McDonalds, on the surface you would think, well these kids eat a lot of big macs (actually, this may have been before big macs)
No, but what they did use were McDonalds sugar, salt, eggs, milk, buns, english muffins, hamburger, cheese, mayo, potatos, napkins, toilet paper, soap, cleaning products. and on an on.
Wow - they really knew what was important.
