    I admit that large families freak me out. My son-in-law is one of 11, and his brother has 10 children. They are Mormon, but I am not worried about being ‘outbred’ by this ‘other’ group. You say it is their business how many children they have, but overpopulation in general and school overcrowding in particular is everyone’s business. I think my biggest shudder about large families, however, comes from putting myself in their position and imagining how chaotic their lives are compared to mine. The more children, the more chance for birth defects, behavior problems, financial stress, and on and on. I don’t understand why people don’t just quit while they’re ahead rather than play the odds that they’re going to have a happy, successful family even as it grows larger and larger and demands more time and resources.
