    My grandfather is 91, and we were talking about his family when he was a kid. This picture is how many siblings he had.
    His father would come home every ten months and then leave a few days later.

    This picture is not a healthy family.

    He wants a baby making machine who is capable of dressing nicely and putting on makeup despite being heavily pregnant on top of taking care of 6 children all of whom are in the baby and toddler phase?

    “What sort of minimum wage would we need so an honest blue collar working man can take care of a family of ten and restore our society to the good ol days? Oh…ok… well let’s just ignore that part.”

      obviously only people who are capable of inheriting 2 million dollars pull themselves up by their bootstraps deserve a big family

    My political views are whatever this is.

    Well, this is poverty. Vote GOP and they’ll help you achieve it!

      but also ironically the stereotypical american dream was only feasible for a short time thanks to the work of unions, which would be decried as horrible communists in modern america, and frankly the whole concept has a lot of socialist undertones in general which people love to ignore.

      It was thanks to strong union movements that people had such wealth, ever since the unions got beaten into a pulp workers have been paid less and less and at this point the idea of one dude supporting a spouse and 3 kids is fucking hilarious.

    The man will work 12 hour days at some menial job and the wife will spend all day trapped with kids. Probably get divorced at some point because they find out the stress of everything has sucked the romance out of their marriage. The oldest won’t talk to one of the parents and the youngest will think it’s their fault.

    This worked back in the old times because at least 2 or so of those kids would die from disease or war. There was cheapish land to go around to be on a farm or have some business. You probably had at least a three bedroom house and it allowed for some privacy. Also, families might help out each other so there could be some support.

    It’s a load of shit to think this will happen the way you want. If this did happen, it would probably be some commune that is labelled as a capitalistic paradise and where every one should be. In reality, it would be forced communism with extra steps and new branding. Think company towns mixed with Handmaid’s Tale-type woman subjugation. Oh, the freedom is so bright that it burns.

    Why are all kids blonde? I’m just saying maybe this guy married this poor single lady with a little league project or maybe this is one of those oliver twist situations.

    Oh, but it isn’t a fetish! It’s the command of God! They have to push out as many children as possible, because the Creator wishes for us to cover every inch of this planet, and they need a holy army to fight the demons Satan sends against us! And the women need to be pretty and subservient because Gods a man and He loves the good, pretty ladies.

    (I have heard this bullshit so many fucking times, with so many reasons why this is their gods plan.)

      What about those kids? You can only divide your attention so much… And the world we live in? I wouldn’t wish it on anyone let alone willingly bring someone into it. Fuckin’ breeders…
