There is an argument for saying that you shouldn't have kids unless you can afford to bring them up but I don't go with that.
Some people for whatever reason have ended up in the sh1t tree, it may be because they are lazy bastards or it may be that they have been dealt a bad hand
My opinion though is that it is a human right to have babies and you can have as many as you want - but if you can't afford to bring them up without the state getting involved then maybe stick to two eh?
And in anycase, there are too many people on the planet, anyone who decides to have 12 children is a fecking dimsh1t |  |

I would be surprised if they've put themselves forward for this 'article'.
It's there for them to be hated isn't it.
"Stay-at-home mum Zoe".
I'm sure there's plenty of people who feel the same way who don't have this number of kids but a story about those is not going to have the same impact.

When did it become a divine right to go away on holiday every year? The story isn't saying they can't afford to live but rather they won't be able to afford to go away on holiday. Not surprising really with a family that big! |  |

That makes little sense. You can have as many as you want but maybe no more than two, and twelve is just daft. What if you want twelve? |  | | |

I doubt she's written the piece herself.
More like having been asked if/how they will afford holidays she's probably replied they doubt they will.
Which is probably true. | |

She is in holiday poverty.

I'd rather people didn't have loads of children and have always thought it irresponsible and selfish when there are so many people who feel guilty for having just one or two.
But they're here now and I'm not going to hate them just for existing! | |

I didn't expect it to be so complicated to understand.
You can have as many kids as you want as I don't agree with a state that forbids you having kids. It is a human right, no one should have the power to make decisions over your body.
So - I believe you have the right to do as you wish.
I then go on to suggest that if you can't fund them then maybe two is a good balance.
12 would be irresponsible and downright moronic.
By the way - Young RKD is in Barcelona at the moment - although he's probably shot to bits. Apparently they have Amsterdam stylee coffee shops in Barcelona now? | |

So Catalonia allows you to visit a club, members only, were you can legally smoke weed on the premises. They don't advertise it as they don't wish to end up like Amsterdam.
As a foreigner, i was signed in by a member, had to take my passport but all legit. You wouldn't have known it was a cannabis club from the outside.
That was about 4 years ago. |  |

Yes. Judging people because they have made different choices to you (or me) doesn't sit well. Quite posssible the kids come from previous marriages. And if they are all planned, quite possible the family thought they could provide for them but circumstances changed.
(You did ask) | |

There is also a link between large families such as this and groups who do not believe that birth control is right. I find it unfortunate that there are groups that believe all forms of birth control are wrong. If a family struggles to afford to support themselves due to this practice it is very sad. Of course, many families have no issue financially but I would still question it environmentally and in terms of population increases. | |

[shrugs] you’re sharing an odd story that seems to imply the cost of living crisis is down to “moral” choices. Dunno if “harsh” is the word for it.
They can have 30 kids for all I care. |  | | |

I think I've been to Barca three times but I don't remember the coffee shops. Mind you,I'm more of a chemical man these days. Weed fries your brain baby!
Saw The Stones in Barcelona once and it coincided with a Harley Davidson festival, it was quite the weekend! I got ridiculously sunburnt like a true bald Brit, so much so that I struggled to get on the plane to fly home. Complete agony!
One of my favourite places as it happens. | |

So the lad who invited me, turned out he had one of the licences for a cannabis venue. He invited me to invest in a site and explained how it all worked. Sounded good until he explained his plans to expand by exporting weed to the UK, through the postal system.
I pointed out that drug dealing/smuggling to the UK wasn't exactly legal but he countered that we could defend our practice as he'd read on the web that cannabis could be a cure for cancer and that was how we could market it.
Fair to say he'd smoked rather too much weed over the years. | |

It was the opening paragraph that appeared to contradict the rest of the post but I wasn't thinking you were referring to the state controlling numbers. That's why I couldn't follow the logic.
I live 100km inland from Barcelona, and apart from trips to the Nou Camp and airport I don't think I've been in the city itself for about 10 years. It's a bit of a strange one, internationally the city has full on promotion, locally they're actively trying to restrict tourist numbers. Wouldn't surprise me at all about the coffee shops, it's all part of their mixed messaging.. Barcelona, best city in Europe,all the best bits from other European cities, great climate, fantastic architecture but maybe best if you don't come as we're creaking under sheer weight of numbers. | | | |

Don't panic, I'm not coming anytime soon. I do love Barcelona and believe it or not they have a bit of a Mod culture over there. I met up with a few after The Stones gig.
Love the place but I've done it now. I love Spain so much but haven't been for 5 or 6 years. Favourite place is El Peurto de Santa Maria just close to Jerez but next time I go I fancy hitting the north. [Post edited 25 Aug 2022 23:07]

Choosing to have twelve children is one thing. But whining about the inevitable expense of having them is pure fwckwiterrry. |  |

"Whining about the expense".
Come on mate, seriously.
It's like a family has been selected, questions have been asked and a article has been mashed together.
It's certainly got the reaction it was hoping for by the look of it. | |
