Ok, so this girl who had 18 kids, but 2 died in the Holocaust and another in a summer camp accident, died a month before the article was published. Her name was Yitta, she was 93 years old. When she died she left behind 15 children, and greater than 200 grandchildren, and so many great and great great grandchildren that, there may be 2,000 living. The reason she had so many children was because of her religion, or at least that’s what I got from the article. Her husband died 34 years before the article was published, and her family said that they never once felt she was a widow. She used to say, “ When there are so many problems in life, I should put myself on the scale?”
Again, the key points are above.
I found the entire article to be striking and interesting, so I’m not going to re-type the entire article because I’m lazy, and that’s illegal.
This will not happen to me, way too many kids.
Well, I completely respect her opinion and choice in having that many kids, but I don’t agree with it.
This article has not influenced the way I think deeply about my values, beliefs and assumptions… What is up with that question anyway?
I think I know enough already.
