I would like an update on this family.

Actually this family is not just two parents and 13 kids, of which 11 live at home. It is also a family with a grandma living there. One or more of the sons would likely live there and start a family there. It's a relatively new notion for family to go off living in their own places. The oldest lives in a separate place with his wife and kids. I do not see the family as being set on their children but allowing them choices. The kids all seem to be glad to be born. This couple may be in better financial shape than the Korean families who just have one child, spend years on hagwons and tuition and then hundreds of thousands to marry off and get the groom that first home only to find themselves retired early and penniless. Whether one child or 13 everything earned goes to the kids. Only with one child the court may decide the child give a hundred or so to their elderly parents. Who could live on that? In this case there are several children to help with their parents golden years. If the younger kids become the elder kids burden then they will be looking to younger siblings in the golden years as well as their kids. If everyone goes to academies what is the point of anyone going? There will still be on a small percentage of the population getting the office jobs at the few conglomerates. And all those other families spent all that money for nothing. With people getting married later and having children later he isn't that much older than other parents of only children.

The children have all finished high school, who are adults, and some have attended some college.
