1. I feel that people should use sound medical and socially responsible judgement, not emotions, when they have 1 or 2 kids already.
2. Yes. Especially here, because in this country we use more resources per person than any third-worlder.

I think the children are more attached to each other than they are to their parents

Joy-Anna, age 14, has always been the family tomboy, but lately she is doing less bike-riding and more domestic things. She looks pretty pissed off in the Today Show video, actually (and who can blame her?).

I think the littlest ones think that the oldest DDs are their mothers.

I know they are self-sufficient and all...but just seems a bit obsessive.

That train left the station a loooooooong time ago.

TLC (is that the channel? I don't watch them) is paying them to do this, and probably underwriting some or all of those preemie costs. That's as big a problem, IMO.

Maybe she's trying to compete with the world record holder, Leontina Albina, who had 69 children.

I feel like this is just really f'ed up on so many levels. If someone had 19 cats, we'd consider them an animal hoarder. Why is it different for kids? There's something mentally wrong with both parents to think this is ok.

Heck, if a TV channel is giving them money, it's maybe a financial calculation as much as anything else. That said, there's something wrong when a TV channel pays people to make bad decisions, any bad decisions, and with the rubber-neckers who watch it too.

We wanted a large family, but frankly did not want our older children to hate us for putting them in a caretaking role at a young age - it simply is not fair to the children. You can say tha they bond, blah, blah, blah - but I know there is resentment in most cases.

That said, who am I to judge. They are not living off the system (you and me), that is all that matters.
