I had a quick look in the dm this morning and I can remember 7 out of the 8 names.

They're all a bit matchy rhymey aren't they. Like Pandas only too many to be Pandas.

I can't believe they put 7 embryos in to a woman who was only 33 and clearly fertile.

MADness on the part of the clinic.

She worked there I think.

How the hell does someone get the fertility treatment like this? I thought clinics were even clamping down on twin IVF pregnancies??

right on

Her parents have split up, her dad has declared himself bankrupt, 3 of her elder children have disabilities and she gets food coupons etc. She is not able to support these children in any way other than by selling publicity.

I think the state should sue the fertility clinic for maintenance.

SalmonintheLiffey · 12/02/2009 18:20

yes i agree poppy cake, she will get paid by hello, oprah, there will be lots of interest.

I think she lives with her parents so not receiving rent allowance or a council house.

I don't think we can ask that question now they're here?

chandellina · 12/02/2009 10:48

but how can she justify having more children than she - or virtually anyone - can afford?

SalmonintheLiffey · 12/02/2009 09:07

RR, I agree, astonishingly, she is definitely not stupid, not lazy, not looking for loads of benefits. She is a relatively intelligent, good-humoured normal(ish) woman who LOVES children.

Dizzy, yes by the time you yell up the stairs, all they'l hear will be "muffleiah" and they'll all come running. Or all ignore her.

Well, being American they could easily have been Randy, Brandy, Candy, Sandy, Shandy,Mandy,Dandy and Tandy.

Or maybe the first six got those.

SalmonintheLiffey · 11/02/2009 11:28

What are her first 6 children called.

I was thinking yesterday as I was trying to get dc1 to do her homework, imagine doing 14 lots of homework. JAYzuss.

lastboxoftampons · 11/02/2009 11:14

Yes, McCai is like McCain with a typo. Odd! Still, being one of 8 is going to be more of a big deal than his name!

McCai I read. Makai looks much better though.

mrsbabookaloo · 10/02/2009 17:45

Anyone read the Dr Seuss story of Mrs McCave who had 23 sons and she named them all Dave
I love that story...and was just reminded of it

2pt4kids · 10/02/2009 16:16
