I was at a party a month ago. There was a very attractive woman there with a fairly young girl. I assumed (as anyone would) that it was a mother and daughter. Nope. They were sisters. Two of ten kids. And not blended-family kind of ten kids, actual mom-and-dad-got-pregnant-every-other-year-for-twenty-years kind of ten kids. It was interesting talking to them. They were unusually intelligent and informed, they both played several instruments and a couple of sports, and the girl conducted herself as more of an adult than a child.
I would never in a million years want to have a large family, but there are some that love it and do it well.
