I don't think anyone knows "how she will do it". Sometimes you just take things day by day. I don't like how it all went down with her having all the kids, but it isn't my business. Since she has such a strong desire to be a mother of many children, I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she is going to try her best to be a good mother. I see a ton of people with one or 2 kids that I think shouldn't be parents. I see parents on here say things that make me think they shouldn't be allowed to have more kids, but that isn't my decision to make. |
I think your taking this a bit too personally as though someone is attacking your personal choice to have six children as evidenced by the fact that you keep saying you had six etc. It's great you have chosen to have your six and possibly more with your spouse. Your fortunate that you are able to be a stay at home mom and raise your children. Would you have been able to have and raise six and then fourteen children on your own ...no I don't think so.
Now in this lady's situation she has relied on her family for help and her mom seems to be done with the siuation. Her poor dad has to go to work in a dangerous area so he can help her support her children....why should he have to do that. If she wants to make them then she better be able to support them.
Autism is a broad spectrum issue but you can't tell me that your child that has Autism doesn't need extra attention. That is all that I was trying to say. I see just how much extra attention my friends need to give with their child's learning and medical issues.
