16 kids and counting...

[thatisall]

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

I'm not sure i could be as restrained as lockets has been.

What do you blog about, Fellowship?

I've just watched the bloody show so I could join in the thread........

Well that was a waste of time.

Personally I don't think that the mother deserves misogynistic insults about the size of her vagina and suggestions that she can't remember the names of all her children.

Jokes of course will always be made about these matters, although it is surely up to recipient as to what 'humour quotient' they wish to attribute to comments they might personally feel to be a tad lazy or actually fairly unfunny.

Interesting show, though ( the telly one rather than this one, I meant )

Exactly, Linerunner.

Yes, the older children do a lot of looking after the younger ones.

Some people would say that's sad; others might say that's good life skills learned.

I'm not commenting until MNHQ contact me. Again, love how they ignore me yet delete a thread.

MNHQ probably have no idea what to say to you, to be fair.

Yayyy back on course! Firstly i beleive that if u can FULLY support your children WITHOUT financial aid then its up to you to have as many as u want--I dont think they would be a drain to the NHS, my kids have never had a stay in hospital and never had more than chick pox cold sniffels ect - u could be a single adult who is obese and a smoker and will cost more than all these kids put together.
secondly if u dont work or indeed still need to claim benifits then yes there should be a limit to how many you can have ( wow watch the flaming i get now!) as that IS a massive drain but hey thats another thread ;)
thirdly - my friend was from 14 brothers and sisters and she said ultimatley the older siblings had to take responsiblity as mum just couldnt spread herself thin enough. just my opinion!

Mnhq will email you to say why they deleted your thread, but it obviously broke talk guidelines.

And I liked the way the older children mucked in and helped, it is good life skills (just to get the thread back on track! Being busy and having so many leaves little space for navel gazing glum teenagers. Learning to parent well (which those parents clearly do) is a skill worth passing on.

Wow, just, wow. Bit of a mountain out of a molehill here. Calm down Fellowship, starting threads to bitch about someone is just not on.

Actually, they haven't emailed.

Oh fellow, you are back; you missed me didn't you?

fellowship... i do hope you aren't singling out bitchbrigade.

why have you answered her and no-one else??

poor bitch :(

Frankly I feel picked on...

Is there any need for all this bitching?
