I think they said with donated breast milk.... I don't think its possible to breast feed a liter of 8 without having 8 nipples!

LOL...I almost choked here..yep a littler of 8. Honestly I wouldn't want donated breast milk. Antibodies are present from the donor..you never know. I don't care how much screening they think they will do of the potential donor. I wouldn't want to risk the babies health.

The duggar family has 18 children and they are home schooled, clothes are handed down and clothes are sewn (well now the girls seem to be wearing store bought clothes) and they budget and have no debt so they are in good shape financially. My problem with them is that they have to buddy up and the older children take care of the younger ones. I think when you need the other children to care for the younger ones then you have too many. I understand that kids need chores and responsiblity but rearing their siblings is a bit much. That is the parents job so when you need to set up buddy systems to get things done then you need to reexamine what exactly your doing.

oh my!! i hope they have money... but then again if they dont, we will
take care of them.

Well, she can nurse, but, she will have to supplement also, and actually babies need their own mothers breast milk. Sorry, it's just ridiculous, and I sure don't want my tax dollars going to her

If I have to take care of them then I want the pleasure of making them. She can get all the fun and we get all the work and headache.


You know another thing that bothers me is that insurance companies are refusing to pay for the IVF for folks that have no children and are trying to have one. Yet someone with six gets it paid for. I just saw a news segment with a pregnant lady that was at her wits end because the insurance company was refusing to pay for a medication she needed but they deemed might be experimental. So go figure how some get over and some suffer.

You all know from the story that she is in that little house that is not even hers. I feel sorry for her mom and dad, it sounds like she is running all over them. You know all our tax dollars is paying for this. I have no problem if people if they need help, and you may not feel the same way. But I think this people do this or the ones with hands out but they are driving their $40,000 cars and SUV should not be give nothing!!!! It drives my crazy to see people taking hand outs and driving a better car then I do!!!!

But about the lady with all these kids, I think the Doctors should be disbarred. They should have never let this happen. But there is many that go to get fertility and lie to the doctors. Maybe she did that, so I think they need to as more questions.

I totally agree about helping if there is a need. There is definitely a problem when people do things whilly nilly with no thoughts of others or the consequences.

Yeah but her insurance company had to pay for the treatmets..they know how may live births she had. Amazing how some people can find that loop hole or just get away with things when others get bogged down in the red tape.

I really don't think it's anyone's business Obviously they had enough to pay for in vitro. My husband and I have 6 under 11 and anyone who has an opinion about it or thinks they can tell me what to do can shove it. I am completely disgusted that people are actually saying she should have aborted some. That is just no ones place to say that she should. I think this whole thread is horrible.

Not one person in this thread thought that she should abort any of the babies.

Don't worry folks, I am sure she will get her own reality TV show to pay for it all! Did you see the other one on TV with the set of 6(John and Kate plus eight)...they just got a brand new house courtesy of plastering their kids faces on TV! I would be pretty sure the TV network is paying for that!
And how long do you think the Duggars will be making their own clothes now that they have their reality show? Not long I will bet!

I want my own "Life with a Yorkie Puppy" reality show...you guys will watch...right???

[chelop555]

Seriously though...God Bless all those little babies!

John and Kate have gotten a lot of things courtesy of people seeing them on tv. They have said it several times and how much they have appreciated it. I think that the new house though is because if the job he took with his wife's friend's husband. It's more money.

The Duggars are actually pretty money savvy. Before they had their children he worked a couple jobs and had his real estate license and bought up some houses and uses them as rentals. They do everything in cash as well. So for them their money comes from that early smarts.
