Families of Catholic background, or from cultures that expect manual labor to survive, ie agrarian societies, often had many many children so that they could help support the families. It's really only modern western society that looks as more kids as more burden. My dad was one of twelve kids, his parents were both 1 of 11's. 18 is high, but it probably is much more societal value than irresponsible parenting. Unless he's related to Cromartie.
