Mia Farrow with 14 kids. (Impressive!)
And DMX with 17 kids.
Gotta keep that labor pool large so wages can stay low.
Mia Farrow with 14 kids. (Impressive!)
Only 4 are biological kids. Rest are adopted.
And DMX with and DMX with 17.
I mean, he tried to warn ya
Still impressive. We have 2 kids and boy are they a lot of work
Celebrities often pay for full time nannies and such. It’s pretty unlikely that they are actually taking care of the kids themselves.
True

I have a large family, always wanted kids, but seriously do not understand people who need everyone else to do the same thing they do. Like, what the actual fuck? If someone doesn’t want kids how is that my business? It’s like they don’t have confidence in themselves and need the whole world to agree with them. Just live your life, it doesn’t matter what everyone else is doing.
That picture doesn’t make sense though, unless she had 3 sets of twins some of those kids would be older, and as the billboards here used to say “two years apart is baby smart”, it is easier on your body if you give yourself time to recover. Three sets of twins back to back, your womb would prolapse.
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 probably had 3 other families too lol
He did have at least one other family, yep. Good call. They even tried to connect years ago, but it didn’t work out.
Thankfully my grandfather and his brothers and sisters came out as good people. Most of them are still alive too.
It’s the turning point of modern medicine keeping too many backup kids alive.
I think its more of a cult.
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.
Perfect example of how many if not most right-wing voters don’t give a shit about policy. It’s an aesthetic more than anything else. Flags and guns and football and church and big ol’ southern nuclear families. Get them to associate literally anything with that vibe and you’ll have 30% of voters in this country behind it.
The broodmare must keep producing! We must push back the invasion!
You can’t be a good dad or mom with 12 kids I don’t care what anyone says
frankly it’s difficult to be good parents with one child, humans are not meant to raise even a single kid with only 2 parents. We’re meant to have communities that share the load of raising all the children, we’re not birds for christ’s sake.
I went to high school with a girl who was I think #6 of 12. And yeah she was raised by siblings and raised siblings herself. It was actually somewhat similar to what my girlfriend experienced having a deadbeat mom and imprisoned dad.
At some point, the older kids are providing child care for the younger ones. But also, its very “infinite economic growth thanks to our ever-expanding frontier” understanding of the family dynamic. As soon as all your neighbors start to copy you, and families start bumping up against one another in their effort to cannibalize the surrounding wilderness, you get conflict. Expand far enough, and the conflicts become things of history - even of legend. The War of the Roses. The French and Indian Wars. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Gaza Genocide.
This is a family style game of The Tragedy of the Commons.
It sounds like some kind of ponzi scheme on the fabric of society
At some point, the older kids are providing child care for the younger ones.
Which is called parentification and usually seen as a form of child abuse.
It is rampant in China
Oh god. The mother has 5 fingers.
5 fingers, not including thumbs…
since when are thumbs not considered equal to the other fingers? is this some weird thing in the english language i somehow missed all this time?
The English word finger has two senses, even in the context of appendages of a single typical human hand: 1) Any of the five terminal members of the hand. 2) Any of the four terminal members of the hand, other than the thumb
So yes, thumbs are fingers, but in certain contexts, they may not be included in count.
with so many siblings, things happen you know
The Nazis would have sterilized (or worse) her in a heartbeat.
Also, there is something deeply wrong with the girl behind the dad. Her knee should not be there based on what we can see of her shoulders. Their politics apparently involve having hellishly mutated children with their six fingered, yellow handed wife.
Perhaps this is why you don’t make children with your sister, who is also your aunt? The kid behind him, she is like a snake but the baby on the dads lap has no legs.
Kid on the lower right has two right hands…
Kid on the top left has an impossibly long body, head/shoulders above their “dad”, and their leg is hanging off the side of the bed.
IDK what is going on with the kid in the bottom left, and their feet?
There’s a lot wrong with this picture.
Apparently that persons fetish is for a mutated family
You thought it was AI, but she just has ulnar polydactyly. How do I know this is ulnar instead of radial or central polydactyly? The wedding ring, it’s on the ring finger.
(/s of course, this is obviously AI. But yeah people with extra fingers do in fact exist. They or the parents often cut away the extra finger for cosmetic reasons.)
Having big family is a fetish
Hmm
Breeding your wife is a fetish
I guess there are all kinds of fetishes, but just having a big family doesn’t seem like one. If it was a woman who wanted lots of kids I guess their fetish was getting bred lol. Those kinky Jehova’s Witnesses and Mormons, now I know what they are all about
I would argue the age of these characters is peculiar. Also, the age difference between the kids. This seems less like someone envisioning a family with a lot of kids and more someone who is delusional about the prospect of ever getting older or having children that grow up.
“I want a wife who is never older than 30 and children who never hit puberty” is delusional. That’s before you get into the Mormon problem of “surplus males” and how that affects the more orthodox corners of their community. When having multiple wives becomes a status symbol, and having lots of children becomes a status symbol, but the guy/girl ratio isn’t 1:3, you have to start asking what happens to all the horny, defiant, increasingly disenfranchised teenage boys who have to watch their dad marry one of the girls from their high school class.
This isn’t strictly a fetish so much as it is a fantasy. While there’s nothing wrong with having vague, mushy, romantic views, you do need to interrogate them a bit at some point. Especially if the fantasy is going to be the foundation for your political viewpoint.
A politics defined by a 20-something wife covered in Forever Four-Year-Olds isn’t rational. A politics of eternal youth is… not going to end well.
It’s a fantasy for sure, I just thought calling it a fetish was a bit weird
All Politics is Sexual Pathology, or so I’ve heard it said.
But, in this case, the thing that really throws me is the idea of people being Forever Young. The parents never get older. The kids stop maturing at the toddler stage. I can half see that mom being pregnant into eternity. Just never giving birth, because the imagery of pregnancy is what the patriarchal artist is truly fixated on.
yeah idk why society views polyamory as a fetish, it’s really strange
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?
of whom are in the baby and toddler phase?
It definitely looks to me like they had quintuplets, then one more, before the current pregnancy.
None of who appear to be theirs.
another fetish?
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.)
They have to hold that view! How else would a guy like that get sex once every nine months?
Marital rape.
Oh, wait, so much of it already is “I was raised to perform my womanly duties, no matter my feelings”.
Sorry, this is a personal sore point, not trying to go off on you.
No no, you’re absolutely right. I’ve seen a good deal of that too in the culture I was raised in.
Wow what a list. Charlie Chaplin was a surprise!
Most of Mia Farrow’s children are adopted. I think it’s a similar situation with Madonna and Angelina Jolie.
