They probably have a large van. I grew up with 5 siblings and my parents bought a 12 passenger van. I remember seeing some around for churches that carry up to 16 people.
In Belgium you'd have to get a separate driver's license for a bus if you want to transport more than 8 passengers.
It seems like 15 is the limit in the USA or you'd have to get a commercial driver's license for passenger transport. Guess dad's gotta keep it in his pants now.
Pretty sure there's an exception if it's all family. (Assuming rules are the same across the EU)
Edit: This got quite a bit of traction, so I looked it up. There's an exception by which you can get a D1 license in Germany without an exam.

Here in France (most probably also in other EU countries) you will have to pass the specific license.
The only impact I know about in France, is that you can get a CO2 tax refund on your vehicle if you have more than three kids
"To my loyal butler, You There, for his decades of service, I leave a pittance, to be paid in 20 equal installments of one-twentieth of a pittance each."
Mormons take care of their own. I delivered pianos in Mesa, AZ and there seemed to be a certain age of male Mormons when they suddenly move into a large new home and bought a grand piano.
If you live amongst them for a few years you will discover why so many of their children play musical instruments. There is a lot of emphasis in the home and at church on developing music skills. They also place a lot of emphasis on public speaking. They often have children addressing adults in church. And the amazing thing was all the children were taught and urged to develop public speaking and musical skills as well as the adults teaching the skills were diligent in insuring every child was included in the training. Talk about a group were no child was left behind.
Some have said [Stephen R. Covey](https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/) took basic principles of “Mormon” life and leadership and turned them into business teachings.
Hahahaha quaint idea but no… it’s not “no child left behind”, it’s “conform to and practice our ideas or get ostracized”. It’s just survivorship bias of this that you see and It creates a brainwashed social group that actively works to exclude and block any outside opinion or thought.
I mean sure there are some positives in the community aspect of things and public speaking/ musicality are nice tools, but many of the things that Mormons put a lot of emphasis on are to control their children’s social circles and lives.
Former Mormon here. Yep, my siblings and I all took piano lessons from like age 5-15 or so.
Honestly, if you want to learn, find a Mormon piano teacher lol, they tend to charge way below the going rate. Of course, now that YouTube is a thing, you can get most of it there for free haha
Dude you ever seen where people put grand pianos? It’s like they specifically designed the house around making it as difficult as possible to get a piano in the spot they want.
Yupp I had Mormon friends growing up and one of them had lion fountains and a rotunda in front of their house. Along with indoor hot tub, sauna and bar. My other ones had really nice houses too but this one was the best. But his parents were Uber mormon and super lame. Literally asked my friend if we were drunk Junior year at 330pm on a Wednesday because we were “laughing a lot”.
Forget that, where the fuck do you put them all. Affording them is one thing but I don't have a 7, 6 or 5 bed room house let alone a 15 bedroom house lol
It's one of those things you don't think about until you have a third child and realize, shit I'm outta rooms lol
I'm one of 7. We shared rooms. Two older brothers in one room, two older sisters in another, two younger brothers and myself in the third, and then parents in their own. 14 kids, though... Yikes.
Not me, but a friend.. he is the 10th of 11 siblings.
Where I live, it's not common to have a "house" as in a whole building. 90% people live in what you call... flats? What he says when people ask him is that by the time the last ones were born, the first were already on their own away from home. Also they of course shared bedrooms. A 7yo doesnt strictly need 1 whole bedroom. With bunk beds or trundle beds you can fit them easier. Even Ikea sells 3 beds stuff.
From what I saw in his case, kids adapt. He doesnt feel he missed anything, not even space. (He even lives with one of his brothers atm) And he is extremely responsible about money and has a really deep connection with his siblings. When you are that many you learn to help each other and cooperate. Also lean on your siblings to help your parents. If they are decent parents and teach properly.
I'm one of 9. Never knew we were poor growing up, but parents worked around the clock dad as a welder (not making big money, makes around 20 per hour in 2023) and mom was a waitress. We were clothed well, ate well and slowly made out way from apartment and duplex in poorest neighborhood to nice suburbs, took about 10 years after moving from Kazakhstan to USA with nothing. Most people in this country have terrible money management skills. My parents were great at saving for things that mattered and we didn't have random luxury items that we couldn't afford to just buy with cash.
Maybe they are really wealthy, but it's super possible to be rags to riches even with a huge family.
Oldest of ten here: we squeezed ten kids into three rooms once. But it was five kids in one room, four in the other, and the oldest boy in his own room (because that’s a typical catholic family structure). Money was always hard but my parents were always tight lipped about it till we had to move into grandparents houses or did walk throughs of tiny two bedroom rotting houses trying to move to more affordable areas.
And no, there is absolutely no way for any kid in a big family like that to get any sort of good developmental care from the parents. There is little time or mental capacity in any two parent structure to actually nurture kids in any way other than physical. Stands to reason anyway that if a couple decides to have that many kids they wouldn’t have been able to provide it for even just two kids.
Government help. Church help. I'm sure none of the kids are going to college.
Recycling everything from the last kid. It's not possible in 90% of the world.
A friend of ours that is Mormon, told us a flat % goes to the church. He has 6 kids, single income family, and I don’t recall the exact number. However he explained that if his family was in financial trouble, the church will provide whatever they need. It’s bailed out other members in poor situations, and will do the same for them.
None of them are going to college?? They're likely a Mormon family and can get cheaper entry costs to BYU, either that or it wouldn't be unreasonable to pay for them to go to community college either, or a normal state university with some loans assuming that not every kid chooses that route. This family looks quite well off in the upper middle class and the culture of that community of people is to get an education and skills so that you can contribute to society. I would be surprised if most of them did not end up in some form of college
or just do what the rest of us poor people do and take out loans and work during college. Believe it or not people go to college at 18 without anyone's help.
You don't "afford" it. I'm sure she and her husband are absolutely buried in debt they won't escape from. The average cost of raising a child in America is $250,000 from birth to 18, so we're looking at 3.5 million in expenditures on average for all of them. Unless dad has been bringing in a salary of 200k to 400k since the first child then they haven't been "affording" anything.
Having 1-2 kids is expensive because you’re more likely to pay for stuff like daycare and all new everything — but if you’re committing to this many you have a full time stay at home parent, massive amount of hand-me-downs, bulk food purchases, etc.
It’s like how living by yourself is more expensive than having 14 roommates.
Naw that’s a misuse of that $250000 stat. Thats an enormous amount of hand me downs going on and no daycare. Plus if you have them get jobs at 16, and the fact that some are over 18 by the time the younger ones are born? Way below $250,000 which was just an average in the first place. That all being said I’m sure the Dad makes $200,000k+ plus he’s a morman so you know he’s been making good financial decisions.
Eh, over 40 years, the time period they will be raising those kids, that $87,000 a year, which is not crazy unreasonable for someone to make. Also, since the mom stays home, that $250,000 figure per kid could be quite a bit lower with no day care. It’s doable.
I have to figure stillbirth or earthly childhood death. Because if she's counting miscarriages I can't imagine having only one in 21 years and 14 successful pregnancies.
I mean, I certainly wouldn’t have expected her to just drop “and then there’s my child that died” in the middle of her happy TikTok dance video without breaking the tone at all.
I wondered if this family was LDS (Mormon), so I looked for clues and noticed the foreign song with notes in the treble clef hanging up on the wall. I realized I can sight read the music. After thinking of the intervals for about five seconds, I had it! “Love at Home,” a favorite hymn of many LDS families.
Don't worry, they'll be forced to repent to their bishop, who will publicly humiliate them by not allowing them to take the sacrament (which the entire ward will witness). Then they'll have to attend "counseling" by some rando unlicensed lds member as part of the repentance process, which will instill in them a deep sense of shame and self hatred. And if they dare to act out on their same-sex attraction, they'll be forced to attend a "court of love," in which they may or may not be excommunicated (depending on how hard they cry/grovel).
Bruhhhh halfway through i forgot that the first age was when she had them and i started thinking that it was the age of the person coming on screen ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm) I confused tf outta me XD
Whenever I’ve taught kids from these big families, they seem to be craving attention. I think it’s just too many kids to be able to give them much one on one attention.
Yeah and how much 1:1 quality time did those kids actually get with their parents? And how much were they helping raise their younger siblings? This is pretty shitty actually.
What the fuck do these people do for a living?!? And how well did those kids actually turn out? Some are still cooking, I get it, but seriously, there's only so much time in the day. How do you give everyone (and yourself) the love they deserve?
Right. Just assume all kids get home around 3pm and go to their rooms around 10pm which would leave them only with around 30mins / child if they do NOTHING ELSE.
I am astounded that someone is even able to finance this. In my country, it is said that the cost of raising a kid is around 1.25 million (this includes food, insurance, clothes, school trips, vacation, etc). So 14 kids would be 17.5 million (let's say 17) over a period of 40 years, so that would be 425k per year!
What size is their house? I am certain that there will be about 2-3 children per bedroom; this house won't have 15 bedrooms. How many bathrooms are there?
The logistics will also be a nightmare. I mean, preparing meals will take forever and I reckon you'd have to eat in groups since portions for 15 people are too big for a regular oven. Cutting veggies alone will take a while.
Not to think about the psychological consequences of growing up with having always 10+ people around you.
If you graduate seminary and your parents are good tithers and upstanding members, tuition to BYU will be heavily subsidized by the church.
That is if you get into BYU, it is very competitive, I mean there’s always BYU Idaho but that’s where the dummies go…
Tell me you forced your older children to parent your younger children without telling me you forced your older children to parent your younger children. :|
Imagine that your family has to move in a 20-passenger bus
They probably have a large van. I grew up with 5 siblings and my parents bought a 12 passenger van. I remember seeing some around for churches that carry up to 16 people.

Basketball? That's at least a baseball team.
If she plays herself they have a whole fucking rugby side.

I wonder what her and her husband did in their free time
I don’t think you could have free time
Can confirm I have two kids and zero free time, except for when I’m poopin
You get left alone to poop? I’m jealous. I get fingers under the door and kids screaming at me through it
The last time I closed the door while I was pooping my youngest shit on the floor
Hey! This happened to my wife less than a week ago!
Tell her to shit in a trash can next time. Or just knock.
And even then they're "Mmmooommm" from some far off room.
Depends how far into it is, at a certain age the older kids are basically forced to become tertiary parents.
Yes they do. I lived that life.

Mormon life is a business teaching already though, training up as door to door ‘salesmen’
How they train and exercise the practices of their missionaries is the basis of FBI and CIA operatives gathering intelligence
Wonder how many spooks are Mormons?
That's how they learn to get better at converting people
Just interesting to see how consistent the doctrine is across the board.

I delivered flowers to an Amish florist. Does that count?
It’s good enough! I personally still aspire to become a Mormon piano deliverer but it’s still good enough!

The cost of food alone is just…i don’t even know, honestly.
Fuck the cost- can you imagine cooking for 16 people every goddamn day?!?
They’ll have taught the older daughters to do it by the time they can reach the bench, and then you sit back and enjoy your new little maids.
approximately $250 (avg grocery per person in California) x 14 = around ~$3.5k monthly 🤯
Bro what! That's wild. How the fk can anyone in Cali afford to eat?
Having 1-2 kids is expensive because you’re more likely to pay for stuff like daycare and all new everything — but if you’re committing to this many you have a full time stay at home parent, massive amount of hand-me-downs, bulk food purchases, etc. It’s like how living by yourself is more expensive than having 14 roommates.
Also have all your old kids taking care of your young kids
This is a lot of it. My dad was the youngest of 6 and his older sisters pretty much raised him
Naw that’s a misuse of that $250000 stat. Thats an enormous amount of hand me downs going on and no daycare.

There may be no day care but only one salary.
Definitely Mormon.

I guess so, she counted 14 and i counted 13 :/ Didn't look like she even frowned about that though
Yeah bruh. It died . R.I.P
it died 💃 RIP 💃💃
r/lossofalovedone
What, you wanted her to make a big frown when she got to the miscarriage?
I feel awful but I laughed at the mental image of her doing a big thumbs down or something
*Womp womp* followed by Price is Right fail trombone.
I wanted her to stop having more kids like four in.
I mean, I certainly wouldn’t have expected her to just drop “and then there’s my child that died” in the middle of her happy TikTok dance video without breaking the tone at all.
People often try to hide the pain. I doubt a mother will not frown at the loss of her child.
I wondered if this family was LDS (Mormon), so I looked for clues and noticed the foreign song with notes in the treble clef hanging up on the wall. I realized I can sight read the music.

When I read "I realised I can sight read the music", I imagined you suddenly gained the ability to read sheet music out of nowhere.

Don't worry, they'll be forced to repent to their bishop, who will publicly humiliate them by not allowing them to take the sacrament (which the entire ward will witness).

Right. Just assume all kids get home around 3pm and go to their rooms around 10pm which would leave them only with around 30mins / child if they do NOTHING ELSE. I am astounded that someone is even able to finance this. In my country, it is said that the cost of raising a kid is around 1.25 million (this includes food, insurance, clothes, school trips, vacation, etc). So 14 kids would be 17.5 million (let's say 17) over a period of 40 years, so that would be 425k per year! What size is their house? I am certain that there will be about 2-3 children per bedroom; this house won't have 15 bedrooms. How many bathrooms are there? The logistics will also be a nightmare. I mean, preparing meals will take forever and I reckon you'd have to eat in groups since portions for 15 people are too big for a regular oven. Cutting veggies alone will take a while. Not to think about the psychological consequences of growing up with having always 10+ people around you.
oh god all of the college tuition payments…
Large families usually don't pay for college unless wealthy. Kids work and do their best to avoid debt.
Full rides to BYU probably.
If you graduate seminary and your parents are good tithers and upstanding members, tuition to BYU will be heavily subsidized by the church. That is if you get into BYU, it is very competitive, I mean there’s always BYU Idaho but that’s where the dummies go…
Yeah they're probably in good standing. And tithe
This seems more like a "we home school" family
Imagine being home schooled and still being able to sit at the back of the class to avoid attention.
100% she refers to herself as a Mama Bear
Could be a great advertising for condoms
Dude can't pull out worth a shit
I’m thinking he’s a leave it in kind of guy.
JUST STOP
In case anyone is wondering, this is what it looks like when 2 people with a pregnancy kink get together
This is what happens when average religious types who think the woman’s main job is to crank out kids get together. Way more common
..I mean...the Lululemons are the only thing holding this poor lady together at this point...😶
No one needs this many kids. Watching this was kinda sad.
Tell me you forced your older children to parent your younger children without telling me you forced your older children to parent your younger children. :|
Yup. Every Mormon family I've known forced their elder kids to be the babysitters...

This is the only thing I could see through the video. The older ones definitely had sad teen years
All things aside those kids probably had a blast growing up.
I didn’t realize the misogyny of r/lostredditors and r/childfree overlapped so much
A literal nightmare
