Knowing for the most part this is a personal choice and maybe some bloggers will tell me none of my business, I hesitated to post this question.  However, with the way the world is today, I was thinking about this family who is expecting their 17th child.  Does anyone know a family/families with a lot of children?  I only know one family personally that have 10 children.  A lot has changed for them over the years, and having discussed this with the wife, and posing the question "would you do this again?" The response was  that even as much as she loves each and every single child she has, and she would not trade or give any of her children up for anything, to go back and do all over again, things would have been done so very differently.  So I wanted to look to fellow bloggers/posters and find out what the opinions are.  With unemployment rates the way they are, the economy, and so many other factors, are these things that you personally would take into account before starting your family?  I love my 2 children so much, I know for myself and my husband, we thought so much about the said factors, and many other things before we started our family.  The world does not seem to be the way it used to be, and there are many different ways to look at that.  I hope to get positive feedback, as I said before, just curiosity.  And I also wonder about the purpose behind being on tv.  We really never know why these people are on tv.  Is it simply entertainment?  Is it showing that you can have many children and make it?  I know back in "the old days" families were much larger than they are today.  Sometimes I feel like these shows are making a spectacle out of these families.  I wish discovery health, and TLC had a place to blog.  I would love to blog about some of the shows they  televise about families they showcase.  Thank You for your positive feedback and comments.
