Augustine, I can only respond with my personal experiences in this subject. When I have been informed by someone of their large family, I am actually in awe of it. Why? Well, I am a parent of 2 kids. 2 kids is enough to drive one insane, I cannot imagine having X many more kids. I am not judging the parents, rather I think about all of the work I have taking care of just 2 children. One can only imagine the time and energy involved in the raising of a large number of children. I also imagine the the large sum of money needed….how many proms, weddings, Christmas/birthday presents, college,organized activities etc. that will need to be paid for. I have never heard of anyone looking down upon people who are members of a large family. Most people are of normal (I know…what’s normal?) sized families and figure the chaos involved with their 4-member family, must quadruple in an 8-member family. Try asking people why they react the way they do when learning of your family’s size. I think you will surprised in the answers. Mike
