I'm sorry, but there's a point where having kids one after another becomes incredibly selfish....can a baker support that many offspring without assistance from the state???

At least these ones aren't ginger.

bakers always have one in the oven

Like throwing a sausage down a hallway.

Father gets up at 5am and goes to work. Mum sorts out the kids and then has a child minder while she heads off to work too.

Fine by me and lets face it, The Daily Hate would be the first voice shouting 'benefit scrounger' if it had any suspi9cions they were on the take...

I bet its got an echo though...

So hang on, she's not getting enough off her other half so resorts to a bit of paedo incest and lesbianism as well.

Busy lady.

Doesn't sound selfish to me. There have ben large familes for centuries, not just since the 50s

'We have always wanted to support ourselves,' she said. 'I like being kept busy, I wouldn't like not to work - neither of us would even though it can be quite difficult juggling work and home.'

Its not the morality I have an issue with - the planet is overpopulated enough, imagine if everyone decided to have that many kids....doing the maths I cant believe they can support 14 kids on a bakers wage....unless they own Hovis or something...

Then take into account that her own offspring will start knocking up girls / getting knocked up and it starts to look like the beginning of Idiocracy

Do we suspect that Daddy is perhaps dealing in substances that look like flour, but aren't?

Anyway, WTF is the point in having 14 kids? There should be a law that prohibits any more than two.

[blindswelledrat]

Well they can.
How typical of a Daily Mail Reader to try and make this into a benefit scrounger thread.
Hard working family who love kids and work thier bks off to support them, and you want to slate them.
Just fk off.

£10k a year in Child Benefit will help them support their lifestyle-choice.

[supersingle]

Good luck to them. They're not on benefits.

If you don't like big families, don't have loads of kids.

[hondafanatic]

I suspect duff journalism here. The article says they are from Morecambe, but goes on to explain that they both work...

A few of the kids don't look like mum or dad

He's not a Director of any companies, would a successful bakery be run as a sole trader?

Yes, but having 14 kids is just silly. It's a bit like having a garden full of gnomes.

Population is stabalising, and in this country is decreasing when it comes to the natives... good on them, they seem to be raising them well. You just know if the mail could find anything to complain about then it would.

Its not that I have the major issue with - I basically think its selfish to have that many kids given the population of this planet.
