I'm sorry, but this is not a good idea

 

It's not about the number of kids, or where they live.

It's about the number of kids AND where they live.

Siberian couple with 22 CHILDREN reveal what it's really like to raise such a large brood in the world's COLDEST city - where temperatures plunge to -84°F and even waiting for the school bus can be lethal

I guess, even in Russia, they get government support for all the kids. But still, it's really tough.
"The narrator [of the YouTube video about them] reveals that 'older siblings look after the younger ones, ensuring they reach the nursery and school first to prevent them from freezing.'

In one scene, four of the older Pavlov children can be seen huddled together as they wait for a bus to take them to a university in the city center.

The voiceover says that the 'situation could quickly become dangerous, and with no bus in sight, they must rush back home or try to stop a passing car to avoid frostbite.'

Luckily the bus arrives in a matter of minutes. As seen in the film, the buses are painted red to make them easier to spot in thick fog or snow."
With climate change, even this place will be warming up.  But it still gets very cold there in the winter.
