[quote=Anonymous]I have seen it both ways. I know a family with 16 kids, and the oldest 6 said they had horrible childhoods, because they were expected to help out in all areas of child rearing. They were home schooled as well. I also know a family with 13 kids (all 16 mo. or less apart) and they went to public school, and were allowed to play sports. Yes, they had to babysit occasionally, and they had a laundry list of chores, but Mom stayed home and cared for the kids. They are super close, and love the way they grew up. If I chose to have more kids, I would do it the way the 2nd family did. My mom always told me "It is no one's responsibility to care for your kids except you and your partner." If you want 16 kids, you better be able to take care of them and not be a burden to your other kids, or family. [/quote]
