I couldn't believe my ears when I saw Ms. Pelosi's interview. Yes, we all know that the more children you have, the more costly it is.

What's next? A one child policy like China?

She has no concept of life or being able to afford kids-remember, she asked for a bigger airplane to fly her family back and forth from Cah lee fuh nee ah to D.C..

I do not advocate any kind of fertility drugs or having more that four kids at one time. I have a problem with people wanting a 'litter' and putting the babies thru extended periods of hospitilization. Some parents go for the multiples, then should one of more dies, they have this giant pity party and we are supposed to feel badly for them- The forced the issue and it's really sad that thise kids have to die over a parents stupidity.

I am only talking about 6 or more births at once and have already have discussed the parents who do the one or two in-vitro pregnancy. This gal obviously did the fertility thing and I feel that that's just wrong.

I think the "multiples" do result from fertility drugs, but the parents don't plan for huge multiple births!

I suspect these news stories are news because they are such large numbers.

Most parents likely have the one or two they wanted, or sadly - none at all, in spite of the expense and efforts.

The parents are the the nutcases that will do anything for kids.
The woman gets pregnant, puts the kids and herself into danger by going on with the births, Should one or two not survive, they chalk it up to divine intervention, should all survive they chalk it up to divine intervention and never look back.

The last two days there was the story of the quints that were born 13 years ago and the parents who's kids were killed in an auto accident, then decided to 'replace' them with a set of triplets.


What a freak show.

[Catty1]

Those 'nutcases' are driven by a primal desire to have children that is beyond what I can understand; it's what is at the root of a species to preserve itself.

Along with love, hope, despair and even love.

Not a place to expect cold logic and rational thinking. It may come from the doctors - but will not be heeded by the parents. It may be their only chance to have kids.
