| I just watched last weeks episode and i find myself getting really annoyed eith their choices. How did every single kid get the flu? Wouldn't you gwt flu shots? I know its not 100% but its better odds than exposing all 9. I feel like she sets them up to fail, like the basketball game. How could she watch Saylor with 6 babies? |

1) This is a person on reality TV. They don't make good decisions.
2) Flu shots are effective, but not always 100%. Either way, it's better than actually getting the flu. 3) You are why she is setting her kids up to fail. You tuned into see this train crash, not a success story. |

| You expect someone who named a child Saylor and then had sextuplets to make reasonable choices? |

| What's the youngest age for the flu shot? |

| I also got the impression none of them had flu shots. Even when she was run-down afterwards, the dad was worried she had it. Like, none of the parents or big kids had the shot either, not just the little ones. And for the PP, all of them are old enough to get the flu shot -- they recommend it for people 6 months and up and the babies are like 13 months in this episode. |

| I'm not sure they had the flu. Everybody got better in 5-6 days. The actual flu is like, you're down for 2 weeks and very likely to have to be hospitalized. I find that whenever people get sick during flu season they call it the flu, and half of them use it as proof that the flu shot "doesn't work for me." Except they were sick for 3 days and just called it the flu. |

| She annoys me to no end. She named her poor little guy Tag, when he has a HUGE birthmark on his back... Yeah that's not gonna sting when he's older. Ugh. At least Kate named her sextuplets decent names. |

| My child got the flu this year (actually verified by test at doctor) and only felt crappy for 3 days. He'd had his flu shot, though. |

I have never watched the show, but the main reason the flu shot isn't 100% effective is because there are strains that aren't covered by it. So, if your first kid is vaccinated and still gets the flu, then likely every other family member who was vaccinated with the same version of the show will also get the flu. It's not like 50% coverage means that 3 of your 6 kids get a strain. It means that you're protected against 1/2 the strains. (No, not saying that the flu shot is 50% effective, just simplifying the statistics to make a point). |

Babies can get flu shots once they are six months old. They do it in a two part series, about 4 to 6 weeks apart. That said, my baby got a flu shot, does not go to daycare, and still manage to get the flu this year. Things happen.
Regarding the show, I can’t get over how this woman named her children the stupidest names. All with creative spellings. I have a hard time remembering which are girl names and which are a boy names. Also her crazy boob job is interesting. |

Seriously. I saw a few episodes and the names are bad.
Boys: Saylor Wells Bridge Layke Blu Tag Girls: Raine Rawlings Rivers |

This cracks me up because my crunchy granola, essential oils loving cousin has kids name: Michael Anna Katherine Emily Grant If you put all of those names up on a board along with pictures of the two sets of parents, all of the weird names would be under my cousin for sure. |

There's a water theme for all of these except Tag and Rawlings. |
