[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 248639, member: 179"] My grandmother had 18 children, but that was a different era and not all at the same time. In the early 1900's you had kids not because you loved to have them, but to work the farm. It was like hired help. That sounds cruel, but it was the reality of living in the middle of nowhere and needing help. Only 5 lived to adulthood. I can't even fathom the idea of having 14 kids in this day in age. Who would take that on? "I need to go to the store. Come on kids...pile in the car." Wait...I don't have a car. Crud. I forgot about that. We'll just munch on some grass on the front lawn. Ooops...we don't have a house. Let me think here...oh, I'll call Oprah. Give me a break. Abbey [/QUOTE]
