Can someone get me some diapers!

"Octoplet's Mother has 6 other kids!"

Some of you already awake have seen this headline on the news already.. I am trying to decide what I think about this.

I mean.. if you have 6 kids already do you think its a good idea to take fertility treatments? Isn't there a pretty high risk that you will have multiple babies?

The mother is acting totally shocked that she got pregnant with more than one baby.. and true.. 8 babies is a whole other story.

I just think.. whoa.. 14 kids.. that is pretty hard to support... ecspecially in a time like this. Is that being responsible? Maybe she just wanted a really big family..

I see both sides of this story. I have interviewed and heard stories from people I know of women who just keep having babies.. not even thinking of the responsibilities.. a lot of these women just use Welfare and keep on having babies. But then there are women who are called to have a big family and are ready for the committment. Children are a GREAT blessing from God.

I don't know.. I am talking in circles. Just wondering what everyone else thought.

I think the whole thing seems a little strange. She is only like 33 years old! When she already had 6 kids why would she be doing fertility treatments???

I have a friend that is pregnant with her 13th but her and her husband do an amazing job. They do not rely on the system at all. They do it in faith and know that the Lord will take care of them. They are the neatest family.

This chick just seems a little off her rocker if you ask me!

now that we've been into this for a couple weeks, seen interviews, learned more about this mother, I have to say that I am disgusted. That is all I can say. Brian is more dramatic, saying that the state should take all 14 kids and send her to a looney bin. I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea. She is banking off these kids. I could go on and on, but you have all seen and read what I have, and I stand on what I said before - disgusting. oh - and poor kids.
