My husband is number 13 of 14. They were Dutch, Catholic dairy farmers so it was some sort of baby trifecta. Had his father not died att 53 I'm convinced there would be more.

I'm sickened at the fact that these people have the monetary resources to raise so many children. Maybe rather than have another kid, they should donate the money they'd spend taking care of it and the food the child would eat to someone who is struggling with just one child. Fucking assholes!

While I agree with the idea that 19 kids is a LOT and while I agree that there are people out there struggling even with 1 your indignation at the fact that they can afford to raise that many kids is misplaced. Rather than call these people "fucking assholes" for their life choices (however odd you may find them) and doing what they feel God wills them to do (no matter how much you may disagree with their religious beliefs) maybe you should turn to the people who make policies regarding social services in this country and tell them they are fucking assholes, instead.

For all you know they DO give to charity. Their family website specifically says they think of "Jesus first, others second, and yourself last". I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they consider charity and social work an integral part of their lives.

Yes, I looked up their website. If you think this story is creepy you really should check out their website for a whole new level of madness.

I met someone in Detroit the other day who had 11... and she was in her twenties.

you lie. that statement is full of lie. did she start when she was like 9?

my ex-wife has 7. Two of them are 8 and a half months apart. She had a half dozen or so miscarriages, and terminated two. She was 28'ish when she had the last child. Had her second marriage not become even more bitter and worthless than our marriage, she probably would have cleared 11 no problem.

She believes having children is God's calling.
