Re: 17 children!
About this family I see that in the master bedrom they don´t have a TV. Is very urgent they buy a TV.
What does the father do to suppor the family? Is he a rich man? or maybe the recive compensations about the brands of all the furnitures he has in his house. I mean, maybe the company of the watermachines give him money to make promotion of the good quality of the machine, Same with refrigerators, microwabe, etc.
I think is not a mother in this house, Is a bunny. Have this Mom thought what happen with the little children if she or he, or both pass away?
Brothers coudl have a responsability taking care of their sisters and brothers, but finally they have the right to build their own life.
This Is a irresponsability.

Re: 17 children!
On the contrary, I would say that is A LOT of responsibility. Some people choose to have no children and no responsibility; some people have children but then don’t want that responsibility anymore, so they abandon their children; yet others don’t abandon but abuse their children, which is not any better….Elba wrote:

These parents don’t do anything of the above; they love their children and care for all of them. I wouldn’t call them irresponsible. As for a possibility of parents passing away, well, that could happen any time to any parents no matter how many children they have, and if it happens the children will be left orphans and some other people will have to take care of them. But if someone is constantly afraid of dying and leaving his/her children behind, what’s the point of life at all, what’s the point to have families and children at all?
