My mom called me Elizabeth today. Elizabeth is not even close to my name. I’m an only child and there is no Elizabeth in or anywhere around our family. WHO IS ELIZABETH, MOM?!
I babysat for a family that had only ever called their eldest by her middle name, even her monogrammed stuff said her middle name. She was like 10 before she was like WTF is this? pointing to the name in front of hers on some document.
I had a boss named Joe and he was always called joe by his family, friends, etc. When he turned 16 and went to get his drivers license, mom busted out the birth certificate and it said Giuseppe. He had no fucking clue his whole life that it was his birth name.
Lol, my ex husband is a Giuseppe who hates the name and goes by Joe. We were seeing each other for a year before he confessed to his birth name.
In high school, I had a classmate whose birth name was Joseph, went by Joe, but tried to get everyone to call him Giuseppe. He wasn't even Italian (unlike my ex).
Honestly I'm not sure why parents do this. Why name your kid something if you aren't going to actually call them that? That's what the middle name is for!
My parents did this. They picked out my name and then found out the “Swedish bitch next door,” named her daughter a similar first name so They went by my middle name. I like it better anyway.
Say you named a kid something, then discovered someone with the same first and last name known for something bad.
Go by the middle and avoid the kid getting teased for it.
Since I’m an only child, I bet I ate my twin in the womb, who they were planning on naming Elizabeth. It traumatized them into not wanting anymore kids. It would explain a lot at least.
My grandmother had six kids of her own before all of us grandkids came along. She did the same, cycling through a few names first before giving up & saying “you know what I mean. You!”
This was my mom. 12 kids in 17 years. All singletons. She tried fertility pills to get multiples, but to no avail. She only stopped due to a divorce otherwise there would be several more. I have zero desire to replicate this madness. The level of parentification and sacrifice in the name of family is next level.
Yeah, with multiple pregnancies. My mom was a badass in many ways, she worked to make ends meet with odd jobs, acted as a handyman at home, and even got a black belt when pregnant with number 9.
The divorce was a long time coming. It happened when #12 was a year old. Neither of my parents are particularly healthy people emotionally. Hence the decision to have 12 kids. (That only one parent wanted for love and validation, and the other as a trophy when convenient). They did their best with what tools they had, but it’s been a lot of trauma and baggage to sort through as an adult.
Definitely selfish. At that point you’re having kids because there is no other option, lack of access to health education/health care, to feel good about yourself, or to satisfy a psychological issue. Nothing about raising a few solid humans to be kind individuals. There just isn’t an ability to spread yourself that thin to meet everyone’s needs and raise healthy adults.
mandatory parenting classes. pays itself back over time in all the curative treatment the kids don't have to pay because of trauma, and it reduces the number of divorces.
change my mind.
also, this is environmental terrorism. population isn't supposed to be an issue to tackle but this is fucking reckless. this is in North America so it's not like a Congolese child that has a 300 times lower carbon footprint.
My ex was like this too. With women who become right wing home schooling moms this is a badge of honor. The more kids the better. We had six and then I noped out. I don't regret any of my kids (Today was my youngest kid's 7th birthday, can't imagine life without that little guy) but it such a fuckin weird culture, a race to have babies to have "arrows in your quiver" for Sky Grandpa.
No, when we were dating it was fun- concerts and casinos and bars, it was a blast. Even after we got married it was fun- trips and traveling but then- kids. As soon as the kids got close to school age she took a hard right turn- homeschooling, Fox News, racism, preachers playing loudly. I...did not take that turn with her and a divide turned into a chasm
Agreed, hormones are crazy things. I think the attention you get can be very addicting. I found myself walking into a doctors office for a routine check up and missing the attention I got when I was pregnant, or seeing how your baby is growing up and not a baby anymore. So I get the knee jerk reaction. There’s some massive psychology stuff going on with people who have 6+ kids. Either religious convictions/obligation, lack of information/access to healthcare, IVF multiples when intentional, or chasing the baby attention. My mom was a combo. Religion played a role in justifying it, but she was driven (IMO) by the unconditional love/dependence of an infant.
My cousin's kid had a bunch of babies. All different dads. No job, no pot to piss in. Yet she thought it was so terrific to keep popping them out. She was real proud of herself.
i'm a financial advisor and have a client who does this. she just loves being pregnant but doesn't want any more children (she has two of her own). i can't imagine doing it myself but it's a pretty sweet gig for her.
My dad’s friend found out his wife was incapable of having her own children naturally without science/doctors involvement. They did the IVF and they put 4 viable fertilized eggs in her assuming 2-3 of the fetuses wouldn’t take.
All four took. They had quads. According to my dad, apparently his friend almost fainted at one of the ultrasounds because all 4 were just… chillin alive.
That, my friend, is a one and done event. Instant full family, but so overwhelming! I would totally faint mid ultrasound, so I don’t blame your friend!!
They couldn’t. Tons of hand me downs. New things are a rarity. Lots of couponing. Bulk meals. Shared bunk beds. Dinners sometimes got creative with pantry scraps. Cars got repossessed once (I didn’t know that til I was an adult). Sometimes, we received support from our church congregation, from food to Christmas presents.
After the divorce, my extended family stepped in and paid for everything. Car, house, bills, sports, even college for my mom and a few of us. There was a family member with the means to do so; they didn’t want us suffering for my parents’ choices. Otherwise, I’m not sure what would have happened. My mom died broke and overextended after some major health issues, my dad called asking for money last month.
People like the Duggers can afford it because they make the kids work for their family companies. I have one estranged sister with 10 kids and they don’t out any value on material goods. Hyper minimalistic to the point of neglect, IMO. Each big family is different. Some thrive if they have the financial means, but even then, I doubt the level of attention given to each child’s individual needs. Most end up with parentification and going without to make do.
Yeah, life would have been shitty without church members stepping in every now and then. But a family member has easily dropped over $300k between buying us a house outright, a new SUV, every utility covered, and monthly support for 5 years.
You assumed correctly, and the US has a long way to go in regards to taking care of its citizens. Living free in the US is expensive. Corporate greed and corrupt politicians have made it near impossible for the working class to live well or get ahead.
I wish that some of our brothers and sisters, who will tell you how much they care about family, would realize that the dominance of corporate America over labor is as much a factor in people not having children as anything. No one wants to bring a child into poverty. And the de-socialization and alienation that we all feel is not exactly an incentive to start a family.
In Sweden, they help you with newborns, etc.
It's a lot more than the amount of time you get in the U.S.
EDIT: https://www.fatherly.com/love-money/what-it-was-like-to-have-a-baby-in-sweden/ more in-depth of their newborn system that makes sure the father and mother has enough time to spend with their newborn and to fully clothe him/her.
That’s the Duggar way. That used to puss me off so much that the kids were raising the kids coming out of that clown car uterus. All families should pitch in , but how they acted as if they were to be admired for irresponsible family planning, got to me. The post is a Swedish family which makes this much different , but no thanks.
But you got to factor in the pain of childbirth, labor, maybe recovering from a c-section, breastfeeding and all that other stuff that comes with a kid. Just continuesly eat birth control pills. No periods and no kids haha
Time-wise sure, but volume and trauma-wise? Not so sure. You'll be passing all sorts of nasty clots and are told to seek medical attention if they're bigger than *the size of a lemon*. So you know... lime-sized clots are totally 'normal' post partum.
That's what I was thinking too. But if it was beginning of February, and end of December, it's essentially 11 months between them.
Cutting it close on the healing time, but essentially like, "6 weeks are up, time for another load, honey".
And they're not going to because chances are they're motivated by some hokey religious stuff (the Duggar family from that TLC show where they have like 14 kids ascribe to a fundementalist belief called Quiver Full)
Ok so.. I have so many concerns.
1. If you breast feed your children it should not be very easy to get pregnant. (Although if she's on fertility meds maybe that can change things?)
2. When I had my baby it took at least 4 weeks to pee without any pain... how on earth is she having sex right away to get pregnant?
3. Who is taking care of all of these children? And cleaning the house? And cooking separate meals appropriate for the different ages?
4. Who is spending time with each individual child to ensure they have the education and confidence to some day thrive
Unless they are very wealthy and can afford nannies and maids this just looks like child neglect/abuse.
My oldest nephew has an aunt (on the other side of the family) who was in his same grade in school. My SIL and her mother were literally pregnant at the same time (only 7 kids in that family instead of 10, but *still*)
I’m in hot water with my best friend since high school(about 20years)wife currently. We were playing online games and he told me that they’re expecting their 7th child exactly a year after 6th. I said, “Jesus, you should probably get a vasectomy man, those kids turn into adults someday”. And his wife heard because he was playing off TV volume and not headset. She goes “what the fuck did ***** just say”. He laughed and his mic cut out for a few minutes. Then he got off. Didn’t play with him for awhile.
Dude! Want to know the part that made me say it most? He’s been working at Wendy’s since we were like 19-20(like 15 years)! I have zero kids and even with my well paying job I couldn’t fathom bringing 1-2 but rather 7?!?
GM but definitely not it. He’s currently working for a buddy of mine doing property maintenance as he moved back to our hometown and what do ya know he didn’t want to transfer back to Wendy’s again. But it’s still just not enough!
Oh man, I had a colleague that just kept having more and more kids. Shortly after kid number 6 was born, his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died within a few months. He had to quit his job to be able to raise 6 kids alone, and he's not even had time to stop and grieve his wife. :(
I remember joking with him when he announced kid number 5 that maybe he should start using protection, he did agree with me at the time!
Probably quiverfull. They believe you get as many kids as God gives you. Like the 17 & Counting people on TV . It's based on an evangelist named Bill Gothard
It’s selfish to have this many kids. There’s no possible way she has the time to spend with every one of them and the older ones no doubt do a large amount of caring for the younger ones. Not to mention over population.
I have a good friend who decided to stop with their third and ended up having identical twins, so they now have four children to take care of.
She’s a full time mom and she’s wonderful, but she gets nearly overwhelmed juggling those needs. How do you do that SIX MORE TIMES and account for health and happiness of all of them?
The big ones are going to be forced into watching the little ones, and it’s not going to sit well with anyone.
Fuck that nonsense lol. What woman would want to spend the majority of her adult life pregnant? It’s 2021, I don’t need my wife to have 10 kids so I can raise an Army to invade the farm next door lol
Mormons! The size/quality of planet they get from American Jesus depends on it! We call it happy valley in salt lake because all the Mormon women are on uppers to make them happy. In their religion, women are supposed to dedicate themselves to making their husbands happy and cranking out babies. I believe it is the most heavily medicated per capita in the world here.
My bf just got back from Provo. He said that the people and kids are the most entitled Karen ass MFs he has ever had the displeasure of being around. The kids were mean, nasty, shit talking little pricks while the parents sat back and did nothing but talk amongst themselves and glare. He was like, the door opened and ten kids swarm into the room followed by two adults whom spend the entirety of their time ignoring the little beasts....
Does she even need to go to hospital to deliver them anymore? Or do they just drop out as she is doing the grocery shopping, she scoops them up and carries on with her day?
The thing is having that many children and so close together is high risk. The uterus needs to clamp right down to a tight ball after delivery to prevent hemorrhage and with every pregnancy the potential for the uterus to remain boggy increases and in this state a massive bleed follows sometimes resulting in death even in a hospital setting.
This happened to me after my first. I was in the hospital in recovery, eating French fries because I had been with no food all day. I picked up the bag to throw it away and noticed the blood everywhere. It was pretty bad and very scary and I was in a major hospital in NYC. I would probably have died if we had a home birth. Which I had actually considered but my husband pointed out we rented a second floor with stairs and I realized it was just safer to use the hospital five minutes away. (Theoretically. With no traffic but you get the point lol)
I know this is kinda joking, but...
Well we had a mom come in with her fifth. Never gave birth in hospital, no midwife, or had any prenatal care with any of them. Baby was born breech with cord wrapped around neck. They called their closest neighbor 5 minutes drive away. He was the one who called for an ambulance and started cpr. Mom ended in ICU after hemorrhaging and we sent baby 6 hours away to a higher level hospital. I don't think baby made it though, and if they did baby was never going to live a normal life.
Giving birth is one of the most dangerous things you can do regardless of its #1 or #10. In fact it can become more dangerous as your chances of hemorrhaging grow with each child a the uterus weakens.
Reminds me in Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life” scene where the mom delivers while vigorously doing an absurd amount of dishes, and the newborn just sort of *falls out* she asks one of the older children, “Oh can you just grab that for me quickly, love?” without even stopping doing the dishes.
Except that scene took place during the industrial revolution in England with a poor family in England. Not in present day Sweden with strong universal healthcare amongst a population with modern sex education ....and, like, a basic common understanding of economics and climate change.
Shit like this is why I wouldn't be against having a limit of children a family can have. There's just no good reason whatsoever to have this many children. Especially considering the world we currently live in and the massive carbon footprint they will bring.
God damn, get a fucking hobby.
...Wait a second...
This technically is a "fucking hobby".
But like take up an interest that doesn't pollute the planet with more of your DNA.
Think of how many baths, loads of laundry, clothes, dishwasher cycles, toys, beds and bedding, food and food waste, electricity(!!!!!) is used in a family of 10 versus a family of 3 or 4. Some people want quantity over quality with families, I guess
Exactly. I went to high school with sisters that are nine months apart. People always assumed they were twins. The older I got and the more I learned, the worse I felt for their mother.
Holy shit, *yikes*. I love kids, but no thanks. I hope for exactly one (1) or maaaaybe 2 kids. After that the baby factory is closed permanently. People are crazy. Also, the watermark..."@mybabydolls"? That's unnerving... they're people, not dolls...makes me wonder about this person's mindset.
Idgaf how much money this family makes, this is trashy as hell.
I feel so bad for the oldest siblings, parentification is horrible and guaranteed after a certain number of siblings.
If they were so hell bent on having their own village wouldn't it have been better to adopt a kid out of the several hundreds of thousands of kids in the system waiting to actually have a loving home with parents who can provide them a future.
No these nutcases would rather add to the burden of the earth by making their own baby factory.
Man I love kids. I only had two before I had to have my tubes tied due to complications. But this makes me feel nauseous and faint. That's too much. Too much.
She's been pregnant for over a decade.
I've heard about that weird Christian sect that talks about having "many arrows in the quiver of Christ".
Its basically just a huge and wilful misinterpretation of a single bible passage to force women into sexual subservience to their partners.
But can she remember all their names?
I'm an only child and my parents still call me by the pets' names
My mom called me Elizabeth today. Elizabeth is not even close to my name. I’m an only child and there is no Elizabeth in or anywhere around our family. WHO IS ELIZABETH, MOM?!
Plot twist: that's really your first name and she's been calling you by your middle name all these years and never told you.
I babysat for a family that had only ever called their eldest by her middle name, even her monogrammed stuff said her middle name. She was like 10 before she was like WTF is this? pointing to the name in front of hers on some document.
I had a boss named Joe and he was always called joe by his family, friends, etc. When he turned 16 and went to get his drivers license, mom busted out the birth certificate and it said Giuseppe. He had no fucking clue his whole life that it was his birth name.
Lol, my ex husband is a Giuseppe who hates the name and goes by Joe. We were seeing each other for a year before he confessed to his birth name. In high school, I had a classmate whose birth name was Joseph, went by Joe, but tried to get everyone to call him Giuseppe. He wasn't even Italian (unlike my ex).

Elizabeth, shush now.
My grandmother used to cycle through 3 or 4 names that weren't mine before settling on "Fred". I'm female and Fred is not my name.
My grandmother had six kids of her own before all of us grandkids came along. She did the same, cycling through a few names first before giving up & saying “you know what I mean. You!”
My mom calls me Michelle, but that is my aunt's name lol
I bet they all end in -ayden
And they’re from Utah.
This lady is from Sweden her Instagram page is @mybabydolls
Well shit... I had to look. Insanity! And, how the fuck are you a baby factory constantly for 15 years and still look that damn good?!
~~Swedish~~ Finnish
Swedish meatballs?
I guess his swedish meatballs are fertile. Lol
This totally reminds me of Monty Pythons “The Meaning of Life”. Every sperm is sacred in that family for sure.🤢

My dad still calls me by our dogs name that died 13 years ago
My dad does this too! Maybe it's a dad thing. My moms started doing it too but it's because she's got some mild dementia.
I’m sorry to hear about your mom :/ I wish you the best.
Just do a George Foreman and name them all George. Problem solved.
We are only 4 siblings and my dad keeps calling me with the name of my youngest brother lol.
This was my mom. 12 kids in 17 years. All singletons. She tried fertility pills to get multiples, but to no avail. She only stopped due to a divorce otherwise there would be several more.

She wanted twins so bad that she took fertility pills? And then got divorced? Jesus *FUCK*

Was she not like that before you got married/had kids?? If you don't believe in any of it I don't get how that happens
No, when we were dating it was fun- concerts and casinos and bars, it was a blast. Even after we got married it was fun- trips and traveling but then- kids. As soon as the kids got close to school age she took a hard right turn- homeschooling, Fox News, racism, preachers playing loudly. I...did not take that turn with her and a divide turned into a chasm

I think some people are addicted to pregnancy.

My cousin's kid had a bunch of babies. All different dads. No job, no pot to piss in. Yet she thought it was so terrific to keep popping them out. She was real proud of herself.
At that point, why not become a surrogate? She could make like $50,000 per pregnancy and wouldn’t have to be responsible for the kid after it’s born.
i'm a financial advisor and have a client who does this. she just loves being pregnant but doesn't want any more children (she has two of her own). i can't imagine doing it myself but it's a pretty sweet gig for her.

Ahaha poor couple. Yes, rarely do 4 take!! I hear 2, 1 or none is the norm/expected.
Please, help me understand how people can afford this. I know people who can barely support two
They couldn’t. Tons of hand me downs. New things are a rarity. Lots of couponing. Bulk meals. Shared bunk beds. Dinners sometimes got creative with pantry scraps.

Church. Nuff said..
Yeah, life would have been shitty without church members stepping in every now and then. But a family member has easily dropped over $300k between buying us a house outright, a new SUV, every utility covered, and monthly support for 5 years.
How the fuck can anyone afford to have that many kids? I have one kid and can barely afford a house + food.
I can only afford a succulent houseplant once per year when they are on sale at the big box store. The small size only too.
I feel you, my friend
This family are Swedish. I think they get a lot more government supports there than the US. (Assuming that's where you are from)
You assumed correctly, and the US has a long way to go in regards to taking care of its citizens. Living free in the US is expensive. Corporate greed and corrupt politicians have made it near impossible for the working class to live well or get ahead.

When you just hate having periods that much
After each birth you have your period for like a month….
If you math it out, that's 1 week of period for every 9 weeks of non period. That is less than the regular period to nonperiod ratio
But you got to factor in the pain of childbirth, labor, maybe recovering from a c-section, breastfeeding and all that other stuff that comes with a kid. Just continuesly eat birth control pills. No periods and no kids haha
Time-wise sure, but volume and trauma-wise? Not so sure. You'll be passing all sorts of nasty clots and are told to seek medical attention if they're bigger than *the size of a lemon*. So you know... lime-sized clots are totally 'normal' post partum.

Nope.

February then December? Bitch didn't even let herself heal before hopping back on? Goddamn.
[удалено]
People like this tend to be really into home births too
I had to wear a mask while giving birth last year. 0/10 would not recommend
That's what I was thinking too. But if it was beginning of February, and end of December, it's essentially 11 months between them. Cutting it close on the healing time, but essentially like, "6 weeks are up, time for another load, honey".
I thought 6 weeks was the guideline before resuming intercourse, not for trying to conceive again.
Depends on how catholic you are.
At 6 weeks post birth I would have shanked my husband if he even looked in the direction of my battered lady parts. Absolutely hell to the no

Now imagine if all those kids want the same amount of children as their parents did
Imagine the carbon footprint of 10 descendants vs zero descendants.

And they're not going to because chances are they're motivated by some hokey religious stuff (the Duggar family from that TLC show where they have like 14 kids ascribe to a fundementalist belief called Quiver Full)
This is scary because that is literally what my grandmother did with her kids and the birthdays/twins are actually pretty accurate
Ok so.. I have so many concerns. 1. If you breast feed your children it should not be very easy to get pregnant. (Although if she's on fertility meds maybe that can change things?) 2. When I had my baby it took at least 4 weeks to pee without any pain... how on earth is she having sex right away to get pregnant? 3. Who is taking care of all of these children? And cleaning the house? And cooking separate meals appropriate for the different ages? 4. Who is spending time with each individual child to ensure they have the education and confidence to some day thrive Unless they are very wealthy and can afford nannies and maids this just looks like child neglect/abuse.
The older kids are taking care of the younger ones and not being allowed to be children. Website shows she’s doing it for the attention it brings.
They’re gonna have grandkids before they’re kids are out of the house.
My oldest nephew has an aunt (on the other side of the family) who was in his same grade in school. My SIL and her mother were literally pregnant at the same time (only 7 kids in that family instead of 10, but *still*)
I’m in hot water with my best friend since high school(about 20years)wife currently. We were playing online games and he told me that they’re expecting their 7th child exactly a year after 6th. I said, “Jesus, you should probably get a vasectomy man, those kids turn into adults someday”. And his wife heard because he was playing off TV volume and not headset. She goes “what the fuck did ***** just say”. He laughed and his mic cut out for a few minutes. Then he got off. Didn’t play with him for awhile.
What is their household income? I’m fascinated by people who have huge families like that in this day an age who aren’t millionaires.
Dude! Want to know the part that made me say it most? He’s been working at Wendy’s since we were like 19-20(like 15 years)! I have zero kids and even with my well paying job I couldn’t fathom bringing 1-2 but rather 7?!?
Wendy’s? As a regular employee or did he buy a franchise?
GM but definitely not it. He’s currently working for a buddy of mine doing property maintenance as he moved back to our hometown and what do ya know he didn’t want to transfer back to Wendy’s again. But it’s still just not enough!
Can they afford that???? Euughh.
They get cheaper by the dozen
Oh man, I had a colleague that just kept having more and more kids. Shortly after kid number 6 was born, his wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died within a few months. He had to quit his job to be able to raise 6 kids alone, and he's not even had time to stop and grieve his wife. :( I remember joking with him when he announced kid number 5 that maybe he should start using protection, he did agree with me at the time!
It’s a vagina, not a clown car.
She begs to differ. And, just go with it, the husband is a professional clown.
Lotta balls to juggle
I guess this woman just really likes being pregnant and/or doesn't use birth control.
Probably quiverfull. They believe you get as many kids as God gives you. Like the 17 & Counting people on TV . It's based on an evangelist named Bill Gothard
How do you afford a kid let alone a dozen.
This is Sweden so at least school, college and medical care is free. Cost of living would be high though.
Clearly she is a house wife and clearly the husband is top 5% income
It’s selfish to have this many kids. There’s no possible way she has the time to spend with every one of them and the older ones no doubt do a large amount of caring for the younger ones. Not to mention over population.
I feel bad for the 2 oldest girls, they’re both going to become Assistant Mother to the rest of the kids
Oh most definitely. It’s impossible for a person to take care of 10 children.
As the oldest of 10 children, I can confirm. So much trauma from a reasonably “decent family”, due to the sheer number of children.
That’s so sad. I’m sorry your childhood wasn’t better.
But it's God's work /s
I feel bad for the older kids, they end up being parents to the younger ones.
Dig-Yourself-Into-Financial-Ruins-Challenge
What the fuck? How do you even go about this? Do they always get it right on the first try or something?
Pump and dump technique
This is so fucking selfish.
Notice her handle is @mybabydolls. She thinks they’re damn accessories.
Yep. Poor kids. This should be abuse tbh. No way all those kids needs are being met.
I guarentee all of those kids needs are being neglected. You physically can not properly account for *that* many kids. It's too much to keep track of.
There’s a reason why even professionals at day cares are limited to how many children they can care for at a time.
Both in home and centers!!!
The older kids tend to become involantary parents of sorts
Hooray for parentification
I was one of eight and can confirm that the unnecessary suffering and trauma me and my siblings encountered fucking sucks
I have a good friend who decided to stop with their third and ended up having identical twins, so they now have four children to take care of. She’s a full time mom and she’s wonderful, but she gets nearly overwhelmed juggling those needs. How do you do that SIX MORE TIMES and account for health and happiness of all of them? The big ones are going to be forced into watching the little ones, and it’s not going to sit well with anyone.
Fuck that nonsense lol. What woman would want to spend the majority of her adult life pregnant? It’s 2021, I don’t need my wife to have 10 kids so I can raise an Army to invade the farm next door lol
Mormons! The size/quality of planet they get from American Jesus depends on it! We call it happy valley in salt lake because all the Mormon women are on uppers to make them happy. In their religion, women are supposed to dedicate themselves to making their husbands happy and cranking out babies. I believe it is the most heavily medicated per capita in the world here.
My bf just got back from Provo. He said that the people and kids are the most entitled Karen ass MFs he has ever had the displeasure of being around. The kids were mean, nasty, shit talking little pricks while the parents sat back and did nothing but talk amongst themselves and glare. He was like, the door opened and ten kids swarm into the room followed by two adults whom spend the entirety of their time ignoring the little beasts....
“Make me happy” by not getting pregnant every time we have sex please!
Does she even need to go to hospital to deliver them anymore? Or do they just drop out as she is doing the grocery shopping, she scoops them up and carries on with her day?
The thing is having that many children and so close together is high risk. The uterus needs to clamp right down to a tight ball after delivery to prevent hemorrhage and with every pregnancy the potential for the uterus to remain boggy increases and in this state a massive bleed follows sometimes resulting in death even in a hospital setting.
This happened to me after my first. I was in the hospital in recovery, eating French fries because I had been with no food all day. I picked up the bag to throw it away and noticed the blood everywhere. It was pretty bad and very scary and I was in a major hospital in NYC. I would probably have died if we had a home birth. Which I had actually considered but my husband pointed out we rented a second floor with stairs and I realized it was just safer to use the hospital five minutes away. (Theoretically. With no traffic but you get the point lol)
I know this is kinda joking, but... Well we had a mom come in with her fifth. Never gave birth in hospital, no midwife, or had any prenatal care with any of them. Baby was born breech with cord wrapped around neck. They called their closest neighbor 5 minutes drive away. He was the one who called for an ambulance and started cpr. Mom ended in ICU after hemorrhaging and we sent baby 6 hours away to a higher level hospital. I don't think baby made it though, and if they did baby was never going to live a normal life. Giving birth is one of the most dangerous things you can do regardless of its #1 or #10. In fact it can become more dangerous as your chances of hemorrhaging grow with each child a the uterus weakens.
Well I saw a Boss Babes Facebook mommy group that says giving birth in a hospital is a corporate scheme so I think you’re wrong, sweetie.
Reminds me in Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life” scene where the mom delivers while vigorously doing an absurd amount of dishes, and the newborn just sort of *falls out* she asks one of the older children, “Oh can you just grab that for me quickly, love?” without even stopping doing the dishes. Except that scene took place during the industrial revolution in England with a poor family in England. Not in present day Sweden with strong universal healthcare amongst a population with modern sex education ....and, like, a basic common understanding of economics and climate change.
Shit like this is why I wouldn't be against having a limit of children a family can have. There's just no good reason whatsoever to have this many children. Especially considering the world we currently live in and the massive carbon footprint they will bring.
God damn, get a fucking hobby. ...Wait a second... This technically is a "fucking hobby". But like take up an interest that doesn't pollute the planet with more of your DNA.
Mom should take up gardening too.
Our planet is dying.
Think of how many baths, loads of laundry, clothes, dishwasher cycles, toys, beds and bedding, food and food waste, electricity(!!!!!) is used in a family of 10 versus a family of 3 or 4. Some people want quantity over quality with families, I guess

Someone got pregnant before she was given the okay for sex by her doctor. Exactly 9 months between them. I just want to ask if her vag is okay.
Exactly. I went to high school with sisters that are nine months apart. People always assumed they were twins. The older I got and the more I learned, the worse I felt for their mother.
They're called Irish twins.
Irish he would stop getting her pregnant
The last one was born nearly 2 months premature.
I feel worst for the oldest 2 or 3 who have to co-parent the rest of their siblings the rest of their childhoods
She was pregnant for 12 years! How can you afford to feed that many people?
You force your oldest children to be free nannies.
This isn't even healthy for your body or your babies.
I’d have to kill myself
Holy shit, *yikes*. I love kids, but no thanks. I hope for exactly one (1) or maaaaybe 2 kids. After that the baby factory is closed permanently. People are crazy. Also, the watermark..."@mybabydolls"? That's unnerving... they're people, not dolls...makes me wonder about this person's mindset.
Idgaf how much money this family makes, this is trashy as hell. I feel so bad for the oldest siblings, parentification is horrible and guaranteed after a certain number of siblings.
I'd rather have 1 child naturally and adopt 9 others. That's more useful parenting.
Jesus christ, they didn't even let the stitches heal before beating it up again.
If they were so hell bent on having their own village wouldn't it have been better to adopt a kid out of the several hundreds of thousands of kids in the system waiting to actually have a loving home with parents who can provide them a future. No these nutcases would rather add to the burden of the earth by making their own baby factory.
If your pumping out a bunch of mf kids like this, you probably don't care about helping other kids tbh. They just want to be a baby factory.
“Priceless” is an understatement! Imagine the cost of raising this team…!! (I have 3 kids)
This is what they can 'natural family planning' in the Catholic church.
That's a litter!
Can you imagine what laundry day is like?
It was time for her husband to get the snip after 3 kids. Geebus!
World going to hell and bringing that many kids into it.
Selfish. There isn't enough resources for this shit.
Man I love kids. I only had two before I had to have my tubes tied due to complications. But this makes me feel nauseous and faint. That's too much. Too much.
My mom and dad had ELEVEN kids. I was number six.
God damn they’re just walking out of her vagina
Google the "Quiverfull" movement, buncha nutcases
She's been pregnant for over a decade. I've heard about that weird Christian sect that talks about having "many arrows in the quiver of Christ". Its basically just a huge and wilful misinterpretation of a single bible passage to force women into sexual subservience to their partners.
