I genuinely don't know what I think, have no strong opinions about their lifestyle, life choices etc etc.....my first thoughts were that it was just too many but they seem very nice and happy lol

Am I being unreasonable to want to chat about the show on here anyway?

No I'm not a jour no trying to get a MN quote before someone suggests it....

....just sat at home alone thinking 16....? 16!? :-O

Sadly Fellow and all other posters who have waded in - this has turned into a bun fight

Lockets, I think you've been pretty graceful and dignified, considering.

Wow lockets for someone who doesn't get sarcasm, you seem to have suddenly looked up the dictionary definition of it. Well done.

LadyBeagleEyes · 12/01/2013 19:15

Fellowship, you really need to give this a rest now.
You are over reacting.

HappyMummyOfOne · 12/01/2013 19:16

I haven't seen the show and agree with Expat that by giving them air time is glorifying having a huge number of children and teen pregnancy.

Its hugely irresponsible, what happens if either of them should die,become seriously ill or they divorce? The cost to the state would be enourmous to care for them all. The cost to the state is already enough with all the hospital time for births, nhs treatment for all the children, schooling and CB.

Would anybody realistically like to be one of the many siblings? No privacy, one to one time virtually impossible, more chores than normal children and possibly feeling like you are not good enough as there is already another one on the way.

What and Lockets didn't I suppose? If you think you'll bully me into leaving it, you can give up, I stand by what I said. Others are too scared to say it but have messaged me to say they are really disgusted in both HQ and the attitudes of others tonight.

hop so now you know how long I've been blogging then. Actually, I've been blogging since well and truly before others got involved and turned it into a nastier hobby to be involved in.

Actually, I just thought of something. If we all had 16 kids, none of us would have any time for this bullshit.
Just sayin!

SauvignonBlanche · 12/01/2013 19:23

Goodness me. How dramatic!

Your other thread has been deleted btw, for breaking talk guidelines. Although the one in Flouncers' Corner is still there.
