Interesting Kazz - my dad was one of 11. He was born in the 1920s.

Scary thought having that many children today. My mum was one of 8, and my dad one of 7!!

My Mom is one of 7 too but I think in the 20's 30's it was the norm, due to lack of birth control as such.

Chaotic, definitely lol. I honestly don't think I could cope with it. I need quiet time.

Re: 13 kids and wanting more


I'm only catching the end of this documentary and the woman doesn't look very old to have had 13 kids - did they say how old she is, Kazz?
