a lot of children ... and not to be negative ... how much time can the parents spend on each child, or to take care of them? i think 4 children in a family is quite a lot ... from my own experience, who is having 3 siblings around my childhood.

i know... i mean, the mom is "constantly" carrying a baby.... i don't know.... i think it's b/c they don't believe if "birth-control" and it's a gift from their god... true, all children are precious... but.. i mean, i wonder what type of living their dad is earning?? what's the relationship between each family member? hmm.. i really have no clue....

actually there's a show documenting the family right before they had their 15th child. the parents worked very very hard (and include investment in real estate, rental ...) when they were young. So, they have projected or saved up enough $$$$ for their kidS and live quite comfortably. they have built a house with 7 or 9 bathrooms and the children are all home-schooled by their mother. all children play violin and they pair up an older and a younger kid, so the elder can look after the younger one.
