Topic : 02/19 Behind the Headlines: Octuplets Saga Continues

Hello I am writhing reguarding the Octuplets, you know it bothers me so much because yes the mother now has 14 children which I could not ever emigen along with handicap childern as well. But for her live to be so broad casted and for all the HATEFUL things people are saying about her. I know it is a bad situation but I think those awful people need to stop and think of how it would be if THEY WERE IN HER SHOESI AND HOW THEY WOULD FEEL. You see people are so quick to judge others and speak quickly before they think about what they say or do.

My heart goes out to the women and all her Childeren. I pray that God puts his loving hands and angels all around them, to guide and protect them. I know as time goes on it will all work out. And for people to say they know that childerns services should and will step in. Well time will tell and hopefuly with Gods help that will not happen.

MY prayers and love to the Mom and ALL THE CHILDEREN AND TO THE GRANDMOTHER

Every time I go to watch TV I here about this women who already had 6 children and choose to have more. I think regardless of if she knew that she was or wasn't having 8 children this time around why if she already had 6 children, was unemployed, living in a small house with her mother would she do this. I do strongly believe that we should worry about these children but how the heck is she thinking she is going to support all of these children!!!!  I watched the show when Kate from Jon and Kate plus 8 was on and she stated that it took all the energy she had to go thru the first year of the babies... and she only had a set of twins at home and only had 6 to take home unlike this women who had 6 children ALREADY at home and will be bringing 8 more home... where will she be sleeping these babies? I think we all have a right to be angry at this women it was her chose to do this and know she wants assistance from the government to help with the expenses even though I here she states she will do the best she can but she did forget to add to that with THE HELP OF TAX PAYERS... something just must not be right in her head is all I can think of. I have one child who is 3 years old and I feel like I wish I could give her more I want her to have a successful future for her to go to college... HOW IN THE HECK will the women be even thinking of sending her children off to college, or better yet how is she going to afford to dress these children for regular school... buy school supplies for these children. How will she be able to provide the attention that all these children need??? I have seen previous posting that we should not criticize these women for having so many children if in the past or in other countries they have even more than 14 children... BUT are 8 of those children all the same age and all others about the same age with some with special needs. My grandparents all had over 10 children YEARS ago... and not all the same age...  I hear stories from my parents and their siblings about how tough it was growing up they all had to pitch in and help out.... and back then they did not get government assists... yes they did make it but at times they would not eat and most of them just didn't even finish school because they had to drop out to start working. So I think it is ridiculous to make that compression. I just hope that these children will get the help they need and will be able to stay with their mother in a SAFE environment!!! I think we can only wish them the best and may God Bless them!!!

I hope this story ends with a good ending; at least for the sake of the children involved.  Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes.  The important thing to remember is to learn from it and move on.  We can't fix or change want has happened but you can plan for the future.  I wish her the best of luck!
