578 grandkids

At this point, this mf is not a villager, he is the fucking village

Though Hasahya’s family continues to grow, he has taken steps to prevent further expansion. His wives now use contraceptives to stop more children from being born

Sounds like he didn’t take steps to do shit, he just put the responsibility on his wives to change.

I would have thought his part in contraception would be being 70.

"his children now range from 10 to 50 years old."

Surely his adult children should be providing for their own families, yes? Why is it on this 70 year old?

“I can only remember the names of my first and last born, but some of the others... I can’t recall their names,” Hasahya admitted while sifting through old notebooks that contain details of his children's births. His wives help him keep track, but even they struggle to keep up with the sheer number.

I would be seriously surprised if he would remember all of them.

“I never knew he had other wives when I first married him,” Zabina confided. “If I had, I might not have agreed to marry him. But when I came, he just kept bringing more wives, until he had 12.”

I mean I can definitely feel his pain.

[–] Mariemarion@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

While I feel the pain of his wives, with their 8 or 9 (living!) children each.
