" I don't know either. It seems pretty rediculous for anyone to have 18 kids!!! And I don't think it's fair, either. Unfortunately, life just isn't fair, otherwise we all would have our little bundles of joy already, and everything would be perfect! I don't get it, but I hear ya! "

" Oh my gosh, I so hear you!!! When I heard about it on the news I thought, how can one woman have so many successful pregnancies? It honestly makes me sick! I can't imagine what it must feel like to be able to get pregnant so easily! "

" Oh i know sounds like we have the same situation. I think it's kinda gross. That she is doing that to her body. Then the older kids are gonna raise the younger ones. "

" You'd think these type of people would understand that having children is not a marathon event! I find it absurd especially when children need attention and nurturing and with 18 there's just too many to go around. This may even at some level be considerd abusive especially considering the living conditiond. Imagine if they had to complete a homestudy! "

" i cant help but feel sorry for the older children in this family. i keep thinking of how they never get a proper childhood and are instead being forced to take care of the other younger ones. "

" That is so true, why would you do that to your children. So many at once and so many to attend to. I agree not fair to the older ones. "
