Those people seem to need a bigger vehicle than that. Perhaps a Toyota Coaster, the extended version.

One of the reason is the cost of the raising a children have risen all over the world.
Have anybody seen a prices of milk and diapers?!?! And schooling?!?! It was scary expensive 5 years ago and it's even scarier now. We thought about another and there is still talks. But if we fail within my boy hits five the tube will be tied and believe and preach one(two including wife) is too many.

The cost has risen but in country like the DR Where you can get help from the extended family, I don't think having 2 or 3 kids is such a big deal. In any case, you adapt.
I can't understand people who have a sole child. I am surrounded by such children, they are a pain in the ass.

The Duggers believe that they are mandated to have as many kids as possible by the Bible. They're part of a movement called "The Quiverfull."

As for the cost of raising kids, what blows me away is the cost of shoes and clothes. Just about as much as for adults and they grow out of them every three months. $75-$100 for a kid's pair of sneakers?? And soccer/basketball shoes are even more.

i don't understand having more than one when there is not much money. i hated having to share with my brother, from our room to his old clothing i had to wear. i'm still bitter about it.
It seems the Duggar's have loads of money, I once saw a documentary about them....industrial kitchen, 3 or 4 huge laundry machines, huge house, big car / vans. If I remember well they are in the real estate business or something. I applaud them for taking the bible seriously, even though I don't think they see it as a mandate to have as many children as possible, but as a blessing to have many children.
It s a choice. There are plenty of $30 sneakers here. The cost of clothing is expensive but if you know how/where/when to shop it is not that bad. For example, I shop off season (let s say in November I buy summer clothes which makes sense since I will use them in our winter vacations first, then the following summer), I buy brand names for a bargain (never spend more than 10 dollars on any items). The irony is that I see plenty of people who would considered poor with 6-yr old kids sporting $100 Jordan.
I am also part of a Listserv in my neighborhood where we exchange clothes or resell kids related stuff slightly used. Most participants are solid middle class or even upper middle class. Also, people do nanny share and all sort of things.Very convenient.
As a said, you adapt.
