25. My grandfather was one of 14....BUT
Infant mortality was higher and only 8 reached adulthood. They also had a family farm that had to be worked within the family for economic reasons. I'm still waiting for someone to provide me with the contemporary pros of this kind of family size. Geez, I hate being so judgmental, but this is one of those times I just can't escape it. Mind shut tight as a steel trap. Bugger!
