Reply #6: 10 of my cousins grew up in a heavy handed Irish Catholic family

I think there's a grand total of 2 grandchildren from that family. Kids who were believers adopted the strategy of late marriage for the girls and marrying much older women for the boys or not marrying at all. The less than true believers all used birth control and there were a couple of vasectomies before marriage, too. 3 are gay or lesbian.

There is nothing like growing up in a zoo of a family to make you want to recreate one when you grow up.
