Shaun Alexander and his wife apparently looked at their family of 14 children and thought, “You know what this house needs? More people.”
Yes, seriously. The former NFL running back and his wife are open to having more kids, despite already raising a family that could probably field its own football team.
Fourteen children. That is not a family dinner. That is a full event!
You probably need a seating chart just to figure out who gets the last piece of chicken.
Alexander, who enjoyed a successful NFL career, has never exactly lived a quiet life. But raising 14 children might be his most impressive endurance challenge yet.
Football players spend years training their bodies for long seasons.
Parents of 14 children? They are training for something far more terrifying. Bedtime.
The Alexander family has already built a huge household, but Shaun and his wife have made it clear that the door is not necessarily closed on expanding their family.
And honestly, after child number 14, what is one more?
At that point, the difference between 14 and 15 probably feels like adding one extra chair to a very crowded table.

The couple’s approach to family life has attracted attention because having 14 children is obviously not something you hear about every day.
Most people start thinking about their grocery budget after having two or three kids.
The Alexanders apparently looked at the grocery bill and said, “Challenge accepted.”
The Alexander household must have its own internal traffic system.
Still, Shaun and his wife appear to embrace the chaos.
For them, having a large family is not simply about the number, it is about the relationships, memories and experiences that come with raising their children.
And if they decide to welcome another child, there will probably be plenty of excitement.
