Originally posted by Viss1: Yeah, pretty ridiculous. But at least it sounds like they can afford to take care of them all (tax incentives and lopsided share of public schooling, etc. notwithstanding).
Actually, they're home-schooled. So no taking away public school funds for them.
There was a program on their family on Discovery or TLC or something that I caught a few minutes of while the wife was watching it. There's some other family with a buttload of kids that lives around their area and, being home-schooled, the other family is about the most outside-of-the-family interaction those kids get. Some of the boys and girls are old enough to start dating, and they'll probably get hitched early as well. Between the two familes they'll have at least a good 100 people between then in the next few years.
