[07:58.17]Every English-speaking child knows the nursery rhyme about the old woman with lots of children: [08:05.33]There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. [08:10.48]She had so many children she didn’t know what to do. [08:15.23]Nicola Pridam must understand the old woman’s predicament very well. [08:22.00]She’s expecting her twentieth child and she’s only forty! [08:28.26]She and her husband Kevin already have twelve sons and seven daughters. [08:35.40]Kevin Pridham is a self-employed builder, [08:40.96]but what he earns is not enough to feed and clothe their large family. [08:46.60]Every week their grocery bill comes to $400. [08:52.98]They go through thirty-five loaves of bread [08:57.70]and twently-five boxes of breakfast cereal per week. [09:02.54]If you have a chird in Britain today, [09:06.98]researchers have shown that it will cost you almost $100 per week [09:13.53]when you take into consideration food,clothes,pocket money [09:19.28]and all the other expenses involved in bringing up children. [09:24.24]Before they are eighteen you will have spent almost $100,000 per child. [09:32.19]This means that Nicola and Kevin will have to find two million pounds! [09:39.55]You can be fairly sure that the Pridham children will be handing clothes down to each other [09:46.40]and doing odd jobs to provide themselves with pocket money.
