14 Kids And Counting

[smurfchops]

Nothing wrong with giving to the food bank, but such a large family, I cannot believe how much food they are giving away.  Just shows how much Channel 5 pays them for the series.  Looking for a larger house as well in the country ...

Isn't it 22 Kids and Counting? They do also have a very successful business. I saw quite a few episodes of both earlier and recent series when they were shown on W a few months ago...my first reaction was why would anyone have so many children.  But they seem such a happy family and a devoted couple.

At least they're not WSS (one of TTT's) scrounging off the state. Good luck to 'em.

Sorry yes 22!  The mind boggles .....  they do seem like a nice family and all get on well.

No need to scrounge when you've monetised the birth canal, Ken.

If they are their own biological kids, then they are contributing to the problem. If they are adopted/fostered then I wish them best of luck getting it right, although the number taken on might suggest they were more interested in collecting than welfare.

What problem are they contributing to, OG?

[Old_Geezer]

Overpopulation of course; and every consequential global problem that it brings with it.

 

One tends to either be part of the problem or part of the solution.

O-G...I believe they just love children. Granted, they were very young when they had their first, and are only middle aged now.

I don't think they've ever collected any benefits. AsI  mentioned above, they have a well established pie business...the older children help out, so they are certainly developing a work ethic.

If they make money from the series they pay lots of taxes...plus having a camera crew in your home for months on end can't be fun.

[pastafreak]

O-G...there's plenty of millenials who won't have children.

I think there's an American programme called 14 kids and counting, the Duggars?

The millennials may reduce the problem then, but it doesn't seem to be getting fixed yet.
