In my family, the men wore out their wives, just got remarried, had more kids, wore out the wife, got remarried again and so on and so on. One ancestor was on his fourth wife when he finally died. Good grief.

Large families were not uncommon, even a generation or two ago. Both my parents came from families with 8 children.

There were big families because there wasn't birth control.

I have four sisters and four brothers. The aptly nicknamed Holy Mother! Church forbade birth control. Had to keep those Catholics coming, after all.😏

I like how Mom is smiling and Dad is holding hands with one of his boys. Great picture. I wonder how many times they had to sit the little fellow in the chair back down for the picture.
