My grandma and grandpa of Minnesota have 13 girls and 6 boys and my mom the 9th so this family is not the largest.

My grandma has twenty kids,eleven sons and nine sisters and all my uncles and aunts have atleast three kids making us the largest family in Austin,Texas and maybe more.Also our cousins,the Limon’s,are one of the biggest families in Texas with about the same number of family members.We were lucky enough to have been on Good Morning America about five years ago about us being one of the largest families in the country.

I’d imagine having that many children isn’t for everyone. Especially someone who puts an article on the internet rife with grammatical errors. Good luck with your three teenagers. I hope you’re not home schooling.

Have you ever heard of someone with over 40 kids. The same “Titus” family. I say this because there is someone claiming to be a member of the 29 and two of his sisters have over 40 and a few more have 18-20.!!!!!!

My grandmother “Doris Dinger” of Sparta, WI had 20 children. My mother Evelyn was the 4th of 20. There were 14 girls and 6 boys. No twins, triplets etc. To date there are 17 still living throughout Wisconsin and Ohio.

Siblings helping care for other siblings and working together in the home is what makes a family close. Large families have always functioned that way. Maybe if there were more families like that there would be less selfish people in the world.
I agree it’s nobody’s business how they support them if they are not drawing on welfare. The way Mccord asked the question insinuated a negative.

As a father of 7 children and number 8 on the way I’m amazed by the misconceptions of large families. The best gift you can give your children is brothers and sisters, their lifelong partners. Our children are so loved. They are home-schooled but they interact with children at gymnastics, piano and guitar lessons. They are all very successful students. They don’t use bad language. They don’t steel, they don’t know what illegal drugs are and they are loving caring individuals. I work hard and ask nothing of anyone. Our family and friends are very supportive and a huge part of our lives. The person with 3 teenagers probably buses her kids off to school with other children that get little or no love and direction at home.

Let’s check with each other in a few years. I wager my children will be drug free, hard working mothers and citizens, not pregant welfare drug attacks.
