The were like the quiverfulls but didn’t call themselves that. I can’t remember the name. They believed every child that could be born, should be born. It was their duty.

I knew some Pentecostal families like that. They didn’t call it anything but they definitely believed every child that could be born, should be. Didn’t practice any sort of birth control and had a half dozen kids over 20 years.

Yeah, it wasn’t Pentecostal, but had a name. I wish I could remember it. The kids were nice but always were tired and had that look of abuse. I don’t think they were abused like hitting, but they all had to take care of the younger ones or themselves. They were always tired. Funny, but tired.

Yeah the ones I knew (the kids) were pretty decent people. They mostly didn’t like the strict lifestyle and mostly tended to gtfo their parents home as soon as possible.

Catholics were known for that for a long time, some still practice it.
The Latter Day Saints (Mormons) also tend to have very large families.

A box of them can be had for a few bucks, with like 25 each. Hell, you can go to some places (planned parenthood style facilities) and they are free to take from a bowl on the front counter.
I spent like $15 a few years ago and got like 50 fancy ‘variety pack’ style with various brands in them. Big spender over here!
Though I went galaxy-brain, with my mind being all ‘oooh boys 🥰’, so I don’t need to worry about wrapping up to prevent a kiddo myself :P
