THAT MAKES 19 GRANDKIDS FOR ME!!!!!!!
Hey xs, check out the tagline in #50
:)
LOL! “Bellicose babushkas,” or as we’d say in English, “warlike grannies”! I hope to be one someday.
Hell, yeah! I have eight healthy children, with no illnesses more serious than ear infections or strep. (Thank you, God, for antibiotics.)
What planet are these women ON?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
A high percentage of the children of middle-class parents will be middle-class or better. A high percentage of the children of chronic welfare recipients will never earn a middle-class income. It is the children of the middle class who provide the structure of American society. If the ratios drift too far towards unproductive consumers, the society collapses
Congratulations to the parents - and you!
Baby #6 is due at the end of October for us. We’re too busy raising children to complain about overpopulation and depleting the world’s resources.
What we talk about a lot is whether it is morally right to have a child, given what we know about the state of planet.

LOL, I just saw this movie about 2 weeks ago..while I felt my brain lose a few IQ points, there’s no doubt he was on to something.
It has electrolytes!

Well, get busy. The planet needs replenishing.
Another possible problem is the following: In the last 50 years, the total tax burden of the average family has roughly doubled. This has caused both parents to work to maintain their lifestyles.
At the same time, the government safety net has taken the place of the family safety net.
Therefore, cut the size of government and the resulting tax burden half.
If only we could elect a GOP President and Congress. /oh, wait, we already tried that. Things got worse.
But not whether it's morally right to have an abortion.
No mixed up ethics here.
My life is a mess right now!
In 100 years, nobody will care about how wealthy you were. Nobody will remember what kind of job you had. Nobody will care about what kind of person you were.
All that they'll know of you is the quality of children you left behind.
Or not in the case of dingbats like this one.
WOOOOHOOO! Congrats A! (And your daughter and grandd of course ;) )
Best of luck to the bunch of you!
While government policies supportive of families (especially two-income families, the ones that are doing less reproducing) will indeed enlarge family size, it can only go so far. Industrialization of society has changed the basic reason behind having a flock of kids.
"Be fruitful and multiply," works for an agricultural society, where each mouth to feed came with a pair of hands, and a pair of feet to bring in the harvest, and where a substantial number of offspring are going to die prior to reaching reproductive age, but that rule just doesn't make sense in the modern world.
True. Unless of course you are an illegal alien from Mexico or the middle east. Each mouth to feed comes with a pair of hands to mooch off of industrialized society.
Please, lady. You and your friends? DON’T have kids!
