None of my six kids were accidents, dear. We knew exactly what we were doing. What a stupid statement.
Did you want such a large family from the start?
Yes. Would have had more if not for age and complications.
Are you religious? Or have a farm?
No farm. As for being religious, it is defined as, “relating to or believing in a religion,” so yes. I’m sure you’d like to believe it means something different though so I’ll leave any conjecture up to you.
Do other people in your religion also have large families?
Does your religion encourage large families or discourage birth control? Does it play a factor at all in your family planning?
I see where you’re going, but there’s really no correlation. It’s somewhat offensive actually. We’re quite capable of controlling ourselves and not having kids, you know? We’ve chosen to have a large family.

We're taking the long view. I hope I live long enough to see how my kids' votes change the world.

Money sure does help you have a large family. And makes it a lot easier. However I find “status symbol” cringeworthy. I think that’s probably your biased viewpoint.
Wasn’t my term. A few years ago The NY Times Magazine did an article on the new status symbols. Apparently a lot of kids told them that having a SAHM was also a status symbol because in NYC that means dad is rich. Now that’s cringeworthy. I remember this because of my friends.

Which is insane because it is only the size of a two bedroom and one bedroom together and the bedrooms are tiny. However, it is across from the ES and a 10 min walk to the MS. And there are no rental homes under $2500/mo.

You can’t possibly be proud of making that comment. Gross.
What are you babbling on about, that comment was objectively true

Yes but can you afford to send them to college or do you expect the rest of that to do that on our tax dimes?
