When I think about it, I do get a little miffed(trying to be nice!) when these moms (that very small handful we hear about in the media) who use alternative treatment feed off their sympathizers and the media. <BR/><BR/>The mystery to me is how any doctor in their right mind would help her do this knowing she would have no way to handle it all on her own.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911964780044663438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-10309218540260206872009-03-13T12:06:00.000-04:002009-03-13T12:06:00.000-04:00Amy, you do a great job with your big brood.

The difference is that not only did you not have all 8 at once, but I've never seen you on Dr. Phil asking for donations! ;-)Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08819103841245495719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-89565842674520827522009-03-12T18:28:00.000-04:002009-03-12T18:28:00.000-04:00Ok, so here's the thing. I have a brood, husband ...Ok, so here's the thing. I have a brood, husband away (four weeks to go!), almost no help, except my most of my kids are older and more self sufficient. It wasn't always this way, though now looking back it was definitely easier when they were little. Having a large family is a lot of work and Chris and I work together, even long distance and it has it's difficulties, same as any family. I still wouldn't change anything or give any of them back. <BR/><BR/>I still can't imagine what she was thinking, though, to do this knowing she would have no means to provide BOTH love/attention and their necessities all on her own. Let's not even start on the doctors who helped her. Obviously the $$ from all this publicity must help, or she wouldn't be doing it. Anyway, the babies are here now and I hope she is up to the task, for all of her children's sake. She's going to be one busy mama! <BR/><BR/>Kirsten, I can see it fine. Looks great!:)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10911964780044663438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-50251158732856961762009-03-12T13:17:00.000-04:002009-03-12T13:17:00.000-04:00Yes, there have been technical difficulties with t...Yes, there have been technical difficulties with the new blog look, but I just checked and I can see it fine.

I don't want to be mental about it, but I know that education, employment, health, relationship status, and a million other things need to happen before I have one. And here's a woman who thinks- Hmm no job, no money OF MY OWN, no husband (not that it's a necessity, but some sort of helper is required) and a bucket of attention starved kids and somehow that equals have more? Did she get tired of the ones she had? I hate being angry at her, but ooops I am.CaitReneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373754705621788370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-44199419897306805192009-03-12T11:03:00.000-04:002009-03-12T11:03:00.000-04:00Nadya has a NEW home, has help from "angels" to ca...Nadya has a NEW home, has help from "angels" to care for the babies when they arrive home, a decorator providing cribs and changing tables and Dr. Phil's website for donations. (He does not want the children in foster care. OK, I agree with that) <BR/>I guess showing the babies will provide $$ to pay for all that they will need. <BR/>Say a prayer for those 14 children.<BR/>The mother is clueless.<BR/>Carol B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713754823698600259.post-37551170205664936192009-03-11T21:55:00.000-04:002009-03-11T21:55:00.000-04:00Don't get me started.
