i'll watch.

i'm pregnant with my 3rd and can't imagine wanting to be pregnant so often.

my two granddads came from families of 15 children - well, 15 who lived - and their mothers both died young, in their 40s, worn out with having so many babies.

PhoenixCymru · 22/05/2008 20:48

Is that the Duggar family? If so, they are up to 17 now

nancy75 · 22/05/2008 20:48

my dad is one of 14 and my nan is still going at 80 odd. imagine being pregnant that many times - no thanks!

expatinscotland · 22/05/2008 20:48

No, it's three families in the UK with lots of kids.

Wasn't this on before? About a year ago? Is it an update?

expatinscotland · 22/05/2008 20:54

well, annie, last time there was a show on about these huge families, one of the daughters of one of them was an MNer and she went off on her mum.

then the mother came on and there was a FIGHT.

expatinscotland · 22/05/2008 21:00

it's a different show from last year, though.

lilyloo · 22/05/2008 21:00

ooh remember that expat

expatinscotland · 22/05/2008 21:02

she doesn't look 43 and she certainly doesn't look like she's had 13 kids.

lilyloo · 22/05/2008 21:04

No way is she 43 it agrees with her !

expatinscotland · 22/05/2008 21:05

the other gal doesn't look like she's had 10 kids, either.

Indith · 22/05/2008 21:08

Going by her facial expression it must be really awful!

bubblerock · 22/05/2008 21:08

Crikey, imagine living next door to a huge family like that!! My two DS's make enough noise, let alone 13+

ps.. The dad on now sounds like Johnny Vegas in Benidorm

southeastastra · 22/05/2008 21:09

lol i just said about his high voice on the other thread, but that's so much more descriptive bubble

FAQ · 22/05/2008 21:09

on the one hand I feel "what does he think his wife feels about having all those babies" - on the other he seems to be quite sweet and looks like he really loves his kids....

lilyloo · 22/05/2008 21:10

LOL Bubblerock

thewiltedrose · 22/05/2008 21:11

Only jurned over to it have i missed anything much do i need a catch up?

avenanap · 22/05/2008 21:12

It was so nice to see another family on top of the housekeeping

schneebly · 22/05/2008 21:12

I agree FAQ - he is lovely with the kids. Feel a bit sorry for his wife though - she doesn't seem to want to keep having kids.

thewiltedrose · 22/05/2008 21:14

they only have 11 i thought it was 13 and over?
