I was gonna say something earlier
but got distracted.
I was gonna say,"Can't they find anything better to do in Arkansas?" or "Don't they have cable in Arkansas?"

Do you blame your ex's new wife for your divorce?
Must. Rise. Above. Jabbing. People. With. Their. Own. Techniques.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

hey you are missing the logical side
always pregnant means no worries about birth control, just plug and go with a 6 week recharge once a year or so. No stress on wether you are gonna get pregnant, either you are or fixin to. For the hubby its joy alla time as long as he can feed the little duggars.
thanx

Several Observations
Box already hit it on the head. They must have money, because anyone with "normal incomes" could not afford this many kids. Heck, I make good money and 3 drain me dry.
Second, I doubt, seriously, that he's even changed 5% of the diapers. I changed closer to 40% with my 3.
Little league and soccer are out of their league.
I want to know who cooks and cleans. I really would NOT like to see their house.
There's no trailer that would hold 'em, except for maybe the Bill Clinton Presidential Library.

Coming from a large family, there is a trick
Older siblings take care of younger ones. And the household.
This doesn't work until you have a couple of older ones. But once you do, you get an assembly line. I'd warrant at least 80% of diaper changes got done by siblings. Kids also do the bulk of the cleaning, and likely the cooking as well.
At least that is how it worked in my family.
If you want to teach free enterprise, do as my uncle Bill did. He had 7 sons and one daughter. In his family the chores all had price tags attached. Every week the price tag went up until that chore got done. His kids really learned the value of a buck, and several went on to be successful entrepeneurs. :-)

Bet?
While they waited, they would get no allowance. No candies. No treats. Nothing.
Then whoever broke first would have a ton of allowance and everyone else would have nothing. And no prospect of anything.
After this happens a couple of times, they learn that it is worthwhile to do chores. Unless they are truly uneducable. After that the finer cost/benefit analysis of deciding when it is worthwhile sets in. Which is a game of figuring out what it is worth to you, and when someone else is likely to beat you to the punch.

Ben

allowances, whats that?
Just steal it is one childs philosophy, here or elsewhere,
another doesnt give a rats ass, just plays guitar all day
third has found that demanding a needed item about 300 times a day, writes notes about his demands and posts them everywhere (not large demands) and wears my wife down, I just snarl at him to get a job.
The little one learns well "they dont do it I wont! either" track is the latest. I dont buy candy or treats. My wife doesnt have the sheer will I have to totally ignore their screaming whining bitching.
You do realize that your example was based in a "everything is mine" culture as my wife is from the "we have something, share it out to everyone" philosophy.
The everything is mine comment is simply an assumption on my part that the family parents worked so between them "owned" the household and the kids had no say.
thamx.

Cultural mismatch
What I described is a way of teaching kids to be entrepeneurial. Mixing that with "share everything" doesn't exactly work.
However if your wife and you both shared the attitude that my aunt and uncle have, I'll bet your juvenile delinquents would have turned out to be different people. I'm not saying that they wouldn't have turned out to be juvenile delinquents - I don't know about my cousins, but my brother who lived with that family for a while still wound up in a car theft ring. But they would be different. (Note: that brother also wound up running several successful businesses later in life. Coincidence?)

just one delinquent thanx
Im not surprised by your brother, many criminals I have known with the exception of the stickup types spent a lot of time and energy to make a dishonest dollar. One person I have in mind would be a millionaire many times over if he put the same energy into running a legit business.
thanx,

Why.. that's the zack same hair 'style' as
The 30-ish wife (now widow) of Dr.euGene Scott! (80+ish before demise) - who opens/closes each 'service' singin' a little inspirational song..
(Still, of course - it'$ all on tape.)
Judging by the chilluns' names - I'd bet these folks are long time contributors to that PO Box in Glendale / and his stable of thoroughbreads. Ah well - one gets 1.33 dozen younguns to raise up; t'other gets to auction off the thorough-s and reclaim the bread. And the hair.
