How many children can a family afford nowadays? two, maybe three?
From what I can recall, it was the same for the other family with 18 children. There may be no evidence of public assistance, but I seriously doubt that the “bread winner” can provide for the entire family.
Unfortunately there has been information that they are on public assistance. I tried to give this women the benefit of the doubt but of course she made me look stupid. lol. Having 18 children certainly would be a challenge but if a family can afford them, I don’t have issues. One family who takes care of themselves are on tv every now and then. They seem responsible at least at face value.
Is there any information re: the father (s). Local papers (overseas)made some comments that the mother of 18’s is unmarried, and her father (contractor working in Iraq) is supporting her.
