“I chose a conservative, religious lifestyle and had 9 kids.”

You can try strip poker. :)

My theory is that larger families can be less difficult to raise than smaller ones - because the mothers of large families are under no illusions that they can afford to allow their children to debate their parents.Only a theory, mind you. We had three, widely spaced, and their mother was far more tolerant of dissent than my own mother had been. But, when you are Daddy, you come home after the ground rules have already been established, and you either go with the program as it exists or you start a war you don't need. I thought sure that our kids would all grow up to be lawyers . . .
