Now I'd love to have one child, maybe two, even three. But thirteen??? I think we live in an expensive world where thirteen children is bloomin selfish and silly.
My boyfriend's Mom was one of fourteen, and she never had a good relationship with her parents because there wasn't time for any one child to get more than two minutes of love and attention from them. Now at 50-odd, she doesn't know where half of her siblings live.
This is a horrible thing to say, but if people are depending on benefits, then government help should be cut off after a sensible number (3 or 4). Taxpayers shouldn't have to support huge families that don't work.
