Thumbs down You, too, can have 20 children.

I'm so excited that my state is known for Bill Clinton and crazies who have 20 babies. Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous?

ETA: A little backstory for those of you who are unaware, the Duggars don't believe in birth control or whatever and they have 19 kids now, the last of which was born premature and almost killed the mom. Now they are pregnant with #20. They have plenty of money so they aren't getting government help but they do have their own TV show now...

well i too cannot have 20 children since i have no wife.
it's kind of weird, but at least they're a good family. most people that have a lot of kids are the ones that can't afford them or aren't good parents.

I have a hard time believing they can devote the time and attention they need to each child...

Well we had a family not far from us growing up that had 24 children because they were devote Catholics.
Crazy??? Nuts???
From what I saw them go through years ago and what the cost is today for kids, ABSOLUTELY certifiable they are.

Average cost to raise a kid to age 18, without college, is $223,000. Do you KNOW what I could do with 223K?

x20 = $4,460,000

Now I'm never having kids, and buying a Ferrari. I'm pretty sure I'll be happier.

Smart, smart man. Same here. All these breeders overpopulating our planet more than have me covered in the baby-making department.
