I had a classmate who was the youngest of 10. Always smelled bad, but otherwise an okay kid. I think the family was poor. Not surprising, having had to feed 12 people. I wonder how many of them have had kids of their own by now and if any chose to have many or none at all.
I’ve known a few families with 6 or more kids, and in nearly all cases, each of those kids goes on to have 6+ kids.
I once dated a girl who was one of five, and they were the smallest branch of the family. Each of her parents came from 8 kids, and each of those 8 kids had at least 6. I went to a family holiday weekend party, and there were HUNDREDS of people, all related, and all within a couple of generations.
I was one of two, my wife is an only child, and we only had one. My brother had two. Any more than that sounds exhausting. We had a bunch of cats instead of a bunch of kids.
The were like the quiverfulls but didn’t call themselves that. I can’t remember the name. The parents* believed every child that could be born, should be born. It was their duty.
I knew some Pentecostal families like that. They didn’t call it anything but they definitely believed every child that could be born, should be. Didn’t practice any sort of birth control and had a dozen kids over 20 years.
Yeah, it wasn’t Pentecostal, but had a name. I wish I could remember it. The kids were nice but always were tired and had that look of abuse. I don’t think they were abused like hitting, but they all had to take care of the younger ones or themselves. They were always tired. Funny, but tired.
Yeah the ones I knew (the kids) were pretty decent people. They mostly didn’t like the strict lifestyle and mostly tended to gtfo their parents home as soon as possible.
A box of them can be had for a few bucks, with like 25 each. Hell, you can go to some places (planned parenthood style facilities) and they are free to take from a bowl on the front counter.
I spent like $15 a few years ago and got like 50 fancy ‘variety pack’ style with various brands in them. Big spender over here!
Though I went galaxy-brain, with my mind being all ‘oooh boys 🥰’, so I don’t need to worry about wrapping up to prevent a kiddo myself :P
I knew a large family with 10 kids growing up. The last 4 called themselves the “too manies”.
Damn, we have 7 cats and that’s far too many. I can’t imagine the hell having 10 children must be.

When 10 cents for a condom is too much, but 18 years is just fine

Catholics were known for that for a long time, some still practice it.
The Latter Day Saints (Mormons) also tend to have very large families.
The fuck you live condoms are 10 cents lol
