Is it fair to assume the author is a Mormon? From my limited understanding, large families are the norm for Mormons and I'm guessing there's a lot more structure in that kind of community.
By contrast, my father came from a much laxer 5 child family, and was the only one who went to university. I can't imagine how anyone would manage with 12.

- xvector 7y agoThe author does mention he is Mormon[1]. > My wife and I are religious and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints [...] > With no religious upbringing, [children] have no way to measure the goodness of other organizations, as they have no foundation. > They participated in the religious activities: we were the parents, they did not have a choice.
