Oh, and his comment in privacy to me about it looking like a compound was very mild and we laughed. We never discussed it further. He is very kind and never really tries to hurt other people feelings. Their property looks like a compound and it was a witty play on the news and this observation. He probably has never even considered how many children a family should have.That topic would not even interest him to discuss and probably embarrass him if I talked about it.
I guess it is time to limit having children when you look as miserable as the parents seem to be.

My wife was commenting on Wal*Mart's uncaring attitude towards that family (Shrenk???) in question. If you want me to I
can justify that statement by her and argue that she was right in criticizing Wal*Mart - will you do the same with your son's statement of negatively referring to a family with 16 children as a 'compound'?
You are saying they are miserable because you can't imagine having to care for more than two children. OBVIOUSLY this woman doesn't see that as a problem.
Of course it doesn't hurt other people's feelings . . . they never heard you say it. It is so kind of your son to make fun of that family behind their back rather than saying it to their face. Nevertheless, it is a negative comment and I wonder how many children you or your son thinks is acceptable.
I guess I already got your answer though, when
you think that the people look miserable they should stop having children. Sounds sort of subjective.
