Having that many babies at once is a choice |
O.k. go out and get pregnant with quints. I'm guessing that's a lot easier said then done. No one expects to get pregnant with quints. |
Because they really, really, really are done with having kids and they don't want to take even that teeny tiny risk that a pregnancy might occur naturally. |
How many spontaneous quint pregnancies are you aware of? Pretty sure the answer is zero. So, you find out after a procedure you paid for that you are pregnant with high level multiples. You have options at that point. |
For some people, selective termination is simply not an option. Think about what that involves. |
Then they have made a choice and need to deal with the consequences of their choice. I still find people who use treatments to get pregnant hypocritical when they suddenly say the results of intervention are a miracle |
Okay but what is your point? |
Uhhh, Danielle and Adam ARE dealing with being the parents of quints. They even have their own t.v. show. Do you? |
If anyone was made to handle quints ... it is Danielle. She seems very organized, good natured and capable. |
I'm pretty sure the Dionne quints were spontaneous. Nonetheless, if you're unwilling to consider selective reduction, then you should probably not do anything that would lead to the need to have to consider it. I, for one, am tired of hearing about people having large litters of children and then whining about the costs and work involved in raising them. There's the new family that's going to be on TLC who needed help to have their first 3 kids and then had sextuplets. I feel zero sympathy for them. |
The chances of spontaneous quints are very very low. It apparently has happened, but is incredibly rare. Doubt these folks were those that beat the odds. And you and I agree. TLC has made whoring out your children for money an option that people now see as a way to afford their litters. Disgusting. |
Where is this whining? If anything, the Busbys seem to downplay how difficult raising children is sometimes. |
Have you watched from the beginning when they talked about the medical bills? How about when they lament about buying beds, clothes, etc. x 5? |
So in your opinion they should have opted to selectively reduce their "litter" of children? You seriously think that they *should* have looked at those 5 beating hearts on the ultrasound and decided to terminate 1 or maybe even 2 of them? Good grief I hope for your sake that that wasn't the only "right" option in your book. The Busbys had five babies all at once. That IS expensive, that is logistically challenging, that is rare....and that is why they have a show. |
I just saw a commercial for this show. The parents are sitting with the babies and two of them just face plant right into the floor. |
