Exactly.
So instead of taking care of his kids and home, he coaches and goes to church a lot.
So instead of being able to have enough kids that you can take care of, he has 8.
And instead of dealing with these two problems, they give them a HUGE home with a gym. Who the heck has a 2 floor gym with indoor basketball court??
But then again, people should see this show for what it is...a form of entertainment. It has nothing to do with charity and fixing these kinds of problems.

Personally, I would never have 8 children unless I can afford it. Obviously he couldn't or he would have hired someone to fix the problems of his house. And, it said the wife stayed home so I assume that her death did not take away an extra paycheck.
While I find it wonderful he goes to church, that he loved/adored hiw wife, loves his children, coaches their teams, etc. I do believe that living in a house that was in that condition is a form of neglect.
I also feel (though I know it's off topic) that even if you are completely wealthy, why have so many kids?
I love the show, I love that they do such a beautiful job. But I feel that that family put themselves in that situation by spreading their resources so thin.
Tragic about the wife though.
