Potmtzu...I would expand on that...I don't think anyone who has ever loved a child would ever agree with those thoughts on "replacements."Quote:

Its a sad fact that for any obsurd notion there is SOMEONE on this planet that proves it to be true. Its just the way this world works :(
So, that discounts my opinion?Quote:

Grace,
I thought at least one person needed 'stimulus' to get er done!:D
Everyone has an opinion - just as everyone has an...........well - I think you know how that one goes! :pQuote:

You can't "replace" a child with another - and I'll argue that one till my last breath! You can make room in your heart and in your life for another and different one, but you can never "replace" the one that is gone!!!
I am so sorry you have known such people.Quote:

If being with me made his life richer and better, I would want him to have that experience again. Why should he be alone because I am gone? It does me no good.
And I know he has a big enough heart to have loved me and to love again.
If what has been described on here as "replacement children" were such...wouldn't that by extension mean every couple that has more than one child is "replacing?"
People can survive loss and love again...that doesn't mean they are replacing the lost one...just that they enjoyed loving so much they want to continue doing it.
Pomtzu says it so beautifully...Quote:

I was waiting on a long checkout line at the supermarket today and the cover of one of the tabloids suggested something about this mother that gave me the shivers. It has a picture of her next to a picture of Angelina Jolie, and it said that she wants to look like Angelina Jolie (even had plastic surgery to achieve that goal) and to have a big family like her. (shiver) It seems to me a bad reason to have octuplets. I can't help but wonder if all of this publicity is only compounding the problem. If the press left her and the babies alone, might that be a reality check for her?
Again I find myself agreeing with you, ES. I would want my husband to move on with his life too if anything were to happen to me. However I at least was talking about people who have a child to literally replace a lost one, giving it the same name and not telling it about its sibling...never mentioning anything about what happened at all. It seems like something you'd see in books but Ive known someone that this happened to. Her parents never told her about what happened and it wasnt until she was an adult that she found some paperwork pointing her to the truth. People like that are truely disgusting IMO. Moving on is one thing, something like this is quite another.
Cassiesmom: I think that if she didn't get any special attention for her first six, she wouldn't have tried a stunt like this to get even more attention. Right now the best thing for this situation is for people to just ignore her but she has good publicists who have made this in to a money making circus act. Hopefully all this wont negitively impact the children but I have a feeling that it will. :(
Fyrewolf....that is a sad story. But there are people who abuse their children, nonetheless I am not prepared to assume everyone who has children abuses them. Likewise, I am not willing to assume because a couple loses their children in a tragic accident and decide to have more children they are engaged in some sick "child replacement" thing. (Especially since, as has been pointed out repeatedly, they did not go into the invitro to have three children...it happened - it was not planned.)
And I agree with you and Cassiesmom. This woman needs LESS publicity. I turn off the t.v. if she comes on and will not buy magazines with anything about her.
I have been trying to figure out why Nancy Pelosi's name is in the title of this thread.
Is there any reason other than the OP's obsession with superior women?
Im trying to find the news clip RICHARDwina was basing this thread on.Quote:

And I could ask you the same question about stalking, at least when I reply to your posts I dont make belittling or insulting comments about you.
So...to get back on subject...what does Nancy Pelosi have to do with this woman birthing 14 children?
Anyone know?
Because she has spoken of birth control in her life...come on ES:DQuote:
