Yeah this is a bit yikes. Marcus shouldn’t jus tassume anyone would want 12 kids. NOthing wrong with a big family but your asking a lot and I can tell that no he’s not joking Nicole. It’s easy to tell the diffrence.

Yikes!!!!! Nicole will not survive!

Did the subject never come up before or was it a trap he sprang on her? This is something they should have made clear before marrying. Unless one or both change their mind, it’s a deal-breaker.

Tune in tomorrow for another episode of “Things You Should Talk About BEFORE Getting Married”

Back when I was a truck driver trainer I had a student tell me about his wife and her 19 brothers.

Uh, Marcus…you do know that you will have to open that wallet and pay for them, right?

Having a lot of kids symbolizes the love between two people.

Not to change the subject but is that Boat House Row in the background along the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia?

We’re over-populated all over the planet. So when someone says they don’t want kids, I don’t judge. It’s not for everyone and you’re not obligated. I get why some people want big families, but at the same time, consider the long run, not the instant gratification.

Co worker was 1 of 12 kids. All 12 of those kids had families if 10 to 16 kids.

That might have been something the two of them discussed prior to getting married.

A couple that my parents were close friends with had twelve kids. All great people, but not one of those kids had more than two kids themselves.

What’s this “WE” business?

Sounds like a conversation that should have happened prior to the destination wedding.

@Jacob Mattingly- The only ones that can afford to have that many kids are Shaquille O’Neal and Eddie Murphy. And those are just the ones we know about…

After the second kid or so, when he sees that bearing those giants is almost killing her, he might reconsider.

How about one or two?

Having children is one of the worst things you can do for the environment.

Definitely a conversation they should have had well before the wedding

Isn’t this something most couples discuss BEFORE they get married?

Consult with Charlene(the dentist’s wife),who gave birth to two of the heaviest babies in Philadelphia history.

And Joe was one of 8 boys.His pappy took h im west in 1893.

“I’ll let you know when I’m ready to stop.”

So many red flags about this relationship…

We discussed kids before marriage, and decided one was enough. That’s why we have four sons.

bring this up with your mom who must have spent a solid decade of her best years pregnant, she’ll smack you right upside the head

Maybe they should have discussed this before the wedding.

She will have the first three & he can carry the remaining 9

Well, twins do run in the family. They could hit the jackpot with sextuplets.

Start with one first, Marcus. Seen from the other side is very different of your memories as a kid.

That is something that needs to be discussed before marriage, to make sure you’re on the same page.

Nicole should’ve just kicked Marcus in the ‘cashews’ as soon as said that.

Yah, that’s something you talk about LONG before putting on a ring. He’s got one or two pastors in his family, right? They should have gone through counseling before getting married.

Did they not talk about this much earlier? Rest assured Nicole. One that stingy man sees what a first baby costs, (perhaps twins, since that runs in the family) his zeal for a huge family will evaporate like fog.
