Hey everybody, welcome to you from the kitchen table.

I'm Sean Duffy along with my co-host for the podcast, my partner in life and my wife,

the great Rachel Campos Duffy. Wow, that's a great intro.

Thanks.

Listen, this is our favorite time of the week, our podcast that we take your listener, viewer,

questions, and we answer them.

And so we got some really good ones this week.

Let's get right into it.

They want to know, did you always know that you wanted to have a large family, or is that something you grew into? Let's start with you, Sean. No, I did not always want to have a large family. I'm the 10th of 11 children. Did you love that experience? I was at the end. I was the 10th, so my parents were a little older older they were a little less hostile probably as

parents you get you calm down a little bit with age little more lenient and so my experience

was probably different than my older brothers and sisters I loved a big family I loved when

everyone came home for the holidays and I love to see everyone in the summer and I mean my

I mean when people are home it's like chaos in the kitchen and chaos at the table and conversations and this roar happens in your house.

I actually, I loved that.

And even now, I'm older, but people come home and the stories that they share and the lives that they have and the relationships that are built. It's really wonderful. But when we got married, I didn't anticipate that we would have a

big family. I was open to children. I'm Catholic, as are you. And I was open to having as many

kids as God offered us. And for me, it has been a wonderful experience. Listen, I love having kids. And again,

I'm not going to minimize. It can be chaotic. It's a lot of work. But the joy that comes from

the work and the chaos is real. And I've talked about this before. There's so many, like my life

would not be the same without my kids if I I mean I like to go on

vacation with you if I can but I like to do things with the kids yeah it's fun I love like

so again we're in New Jersey we're going back to Wisconsin for the summer I don't want to go
