This is Hard Providing for and protecting a family of 15 isn't easy. Like everything else that's worth it, it's hard. Really Hard. It takes sacrifice, patience, perseverance and a solid sense of humor. Sacrifices comes in lots of different shapes and sizes when you're a dad to 13. Finances The first obvious one is the financial uncertainty it brings. I know I am not alone in this worry, because the most common question I receive upon hearing that I have 13 children, is likely the same thing you've been wondering this whole time - "What do you do for a living?!" The answer is boring. I have a fairly normal corporate job. The job itself isn't easy, and it's definitely not a boring one, but it's far from glamourous or interesting to talk about. But when you are providing for 15 people, finances can really weigh on a man. My grocery bill would give anyone high blood pressure. But we've been blessed.
