What I don't get is... 10 kids???!!!!!

Maybe she was bored and didn't have anything else to do.

In the U.S. (the woman in ChrisH's link is British) you get more welfare money if you have more kids too, though I've heard that the increase is nowhere near the costs of raising an additional child. Still, I guess there are people here cranking them out like clockwork, too.

I think that varies state to state, Phesina.
