THIS STORY SHOOK THE INTERNET – AND REDDITORS DIDN’T HOLD BACK.
The casual dismissal of such a unique and loving upbringing clearly struck a nerve, and the ensuing conversation promised to be as revealing as it was unexpected. The boyfriend’s flippant remark, “Oh, that must suck,” when faced with the reality of seventeen siblings, was a stark contrast to the reality of this particular family’s dynamic.
