15 kids and counting

[AKissIsNotAContract]

Starting in 15minutes on channel 4. Anyone else going to watch this?

imagine the bill for dinner...

It's hardly seems a relaxing holiday! They're on pins keeping an eye on all their children.

I would be seriously worried about losing one whilst out and about. I'd be an absolute nervous wreck!

I found being on beach holiday with 9 kids and 8 adults stressful! (several families together) the thought of 14 kids...

My family is Catholic and my nan's mum had 13 children (11 survived beyond children and the last was disabled) . She married "below" her status and her own mother thought she was crazy for having so many children, especially because they were so poor.

Imagine the bill for ice creams zoo.

Imagine the GALLONS of suncream you would have to apply!!! I find it tiresome and time-consuming applying it to two.

Surely easier if they were all dressed in one colour? Something luminous!

Oh, that poor girl worrying about mum like that!

How can you home educate that many kids alone and cater for all of their age differences and needs?

I'm sure people do but the mind boggles...

16 towels, rinsing out a million sandy swim suits

Kal I wanted 6, still do, but stopped at 5.

Feel really sad about it.

True cart I was pleased when my 2 were old enough to do each other! By the time she finishes the 14th, it must be nearly time to start again!

I love the idea of such a big family in terms of knowing that the children would always have family and support once we were gone, but I know there's no way that I'd be able to cope with more than the two I've got!

I think I'm going to start my own bakery it obviously pays extremely well

When do they get a spare moment to make these children? Between working a million hours a week, then taking care of the children, seriously when do they fit time for sex in? Both are prime candidates for being too tired surely

My mother's pet theory is that women like me who have lots of children do it because they 'go off their DCs when they are not babies anymore'

I find it hugely insulting and offensive.

Doesnt stop her trotting it out about anyone who has more than 3 children though.

And I just can't get my head around doing washing, ironing, cooking etc for that many people. So many beds to change! So many uniforms to wash, dry and iron! Aargh!

I'm glad someone asked the sex question! When?

I always wanted 4, and i have 3. Now that my youngest is 9 though, i would love another two close together. Shame that I am terminally single lol.

I would have to have them bugged somehow on the beach so i could monitor them all on some kind of computer mainframe.
But I can barely work my phone so I'll just stick with the one.

I only have one, and will never have any more now. I do think big family's are great, as long as your not living in grinding poverty.

All my Irish cousins have 5 or 6 children, and they are very happy family's. I do wonder if my dd will resent the fact that she has no siblings.

The girls really look like their Mum

Yay chuck em in the basement ready for the new one.

My nan had six and my mum always said as soon as they climbed off her lap ( my nans) she wanted another one
