Latvian mother with 16 children outperforms even the waiting line at Tosele bus stop
CSB reveals that last year one Latvian mother registered 16 children, which is more than the average number of buses that don't show up at Tosele bus stop during one day.
The Central Statistical Bureau proudly announced that in 2024, one woman's registered number of children reached 16, which is as impressive as trying to count all the people simultaneously waiting for a bus at Tosele bus stop. Yes, that's the famous stop where Liepāja residents learn patience and philosophy.
CSB data reveals that most mothers — 281,422 — are raising two children, which is a reasonable number for any woman who wants to preserve at least part of her mental health. Three children belong to 86,541 moms, which is already enough to experience what it's like to never forget one of your kids at the store.
But truly impressive are those 240 cases where moms have ten or more children. In Riga, such families probably live in a two-room apartment and complain about housing, but in Liepāja with that many kids you could already start your own football team and still have a coach left over.
Due to confidentiality considerations, CSB doesn't reveal detailed information about the record-holder with 16 children, but locals are already speculating. "Probably one of ours," says Liepāja resident Maija. "We have this tradition here — what else to do in winters when the wind blows outside and the sea roars."
