Sounds like this family needs it’s own reality tv show [Reply]

Perpetuating god knows how many stereotypes in the process. Like in Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood where Chris Rock's character is a dad that's younger than his son. [Reply]

If you think a love triangle is tough to negotiate, imagine being involved in a love heptadecagon.
And just as a math check, I think they said 17 children were survivors, so that's not counting the one who died. Was his total tally 18 then?
I'm really curious how many different mothers there were. This guy probably could have made a fortune giving lessons to socially awkward men. [Reply]
