16 kids and wanting more!!!

I've seen them before. I wonder if they just keep having kids for the attention.

I have a hard time with my 4 and they're almost grown.

I know I saw that yesterday and I'm thinking she is wanting more jst for the attention! I can't believe she named them all starting with a J!

I have seen them on TV before and I would never ever ever have that many kids. Too expensive to say the least. Yikes, just because you can get pregnant and keep having them doesn't mean you should. I can't imagine all the kids get the attention they all need. Buy hey, to each his own and whatever floats their boat.

weird yeah my aunt is really messed up in the head anyway, they have 7 and what we think is she loved kids when they were babies and then when they grew out of it she had babies again anyway the dr. told her to stop having babies because it wasn't you know good.

I'd heard about that, crazy. But, if it works, good for them. As long as they're all happy and healthy, I have no qualms about it. My friend's brother's wife just miscarried what would have been their seventh child. She's 32, and, he's about ten or eleven years older. Their kids are all smart and sweet and well behaved. They live almost entirely from the earth, no tv, they are home schooled, etc. It's not for me, I know that much, but, they are happy. They're not hurting anyone, ya know? I personally think two is my max.

And, I haven't even had one, yet, so, who knows?!

Wow! I couldn't even imagine even having close to that many kids. But if they are all happy & healthy then more power to them.

I have hard enough time with my 2. I don't think I could handle anymore.

I know of one other lady on a parenting board I visit. She has I think 14 kids and excepting another.
