Q and A about large families:

Here it goes:

I hope you aren’t planning to have anymore?!?

  • You mean, I just figured out what I’m really, really good at, and you’re telling me to stop doing it?
  • Talk to God about it… it’s up to Him.
  • OK, I won’t plan my next one. Surprises can be fun!
  • Yup we are going to keep going till we get an ugly one.

How can you afford having so many?

  • Lifestyles are expensive not kids.
  • We’re not on welfare, in huge amounts of debt, and no, my wife is not a doctor or lawyer. We just budget well.
  • I figure you spend what you make, you may as well spend it on more.
  • ” You don’t know my financial backer!” (Our God, of course)
  • I’m still not sure how we do it…but it works!

Haven’t you heard of birth control?

  • Yes, and I thank God it doesn’t always work!
  • Yes, I’ve heard of it, I hope you are using it!
  • Yes, that’s great stuff for people with ugly kids!
  • Oh yes, we do know what birth control is; it’s for people who don’t want children.

Do you get any time for yourselves?

  • Obviously we get a little time to ourselves, or we wouldn’t have 5 kids.

    Hey, I say: Have as many as you want!

    I have a friend who said she felt “morally responsible” to have no more than one child.
    My response:
    The DUMB, IMMORAL people are out there having baby after baby; we gotta keep up! The future of our world depends on it! =P

    Would that more parents were as awesome as you and Fannie. May God bless y’all with as many children as your heart desires.
    Much love to the Doucet clan!

    LOVE it. I have 5 brothers & sisters. For as long as I can remember, my mom and daddy have had the same kind of questions shot their way. They always managed to counter with something impressively polite (considered how rude some of the questions were) and funny. Living in Baton Rouge, we were routinely asked if we were Catholic… to which mom replied: “No… we’re ‘compassionate’ Baptists.” I love my great big family and I can’t imagine having grown up any other way. God bless y’all.
