    They ain’t parenting. They offloaded that task onto the eldest and his siblings after each birth.

      I remember being forced to babysit all the time so my parents could discover how bad they were at having a social life.

      Good times.

      You can tell by the look the oldest handful is giving the camera. Second kid in line looks like he’s mad this is making him late for a plumbing job. First kid looks like he fucking done with this shit.

        The ones at the back don’t exactly look thrilled either.

      As a big brother to 2 boys, this family is screwed they didn’t get a girl in there until #9. The house must smell atrocious.

    They kept trying for a girl.

    When we didn’t get one after two, we quit. Can’t afford to feed a little league team.

      Same here … after two boys (and a few years to think about it), I had a vasectomy.

      Have two granddaughters now though, so the wife gets to do all the girl stuff she missed out on.

      This was my cousin, except they didn’t stop. 6 boys later she finally got a girl.

      Of course they are fundie Christians so this also helped their quiverfull BS or ehatever.

      They might not have gotten a girl, but at least they got a wookie at #9.

      The second to last kid might be a girl, but that’s just going by the long hair and pink shirt…they’re too far back and we can’t see the face to make any real determination.

    What does it mean to have “done 10 kids in 10 years” ?
