Is she trying to beat Michelle Duggar? Doing what she did in half the time!

PinkTulips · 29/01/2009 13:52

she already has 6

holy god..... makes you wonder if it was fertility treatment then or a true fluke of nature..... surely noone would be having fertility treatment to have a 7th child?

makes her wish to bf alot more realisi=tic doesn't it, she clearly knows what she's in for and is willing to try anyway, even if she mix feeds she's doing better than most with alot more stacked against her.

I love being 100% right - She's going to try to sell her story to Oprah

wow....that woman must be crazy, tbh...and it definetely was unethical...

I read that her other children are between 2-7 so 14 children under the age of 8.

I can't even imagine.

Aparently her mother asked a psychologist to talk to her about her baby obsession. Who exactly does she think will look after and support all these kids? I heard all the kids were ivf. And in a 2 bedroomed house with her parents!

sounds like a strange case doesn't it?

how on earth could she afford IVF though? baffling to think she can barely afford to raise the kids she has but she could afford that!

Do they pay for it in the States? Can you imagine being one of 14 kids?

PinkTulips · 06/02/2009 10:45

my friend was one of 14 and his mother took in foster kids too.

i'll never forget him joking about it and saying 'i think she just likes being pregnant really' sad way to view your own mother isn't it?

he barely knew some of the older and younger ones as he was right in the middle.
