How do you feel?

Now to me this doesn't make much sense at all. Now, I see nothing at all wrong with being a single mother. I actually give credit to women who take on this challenge. But, as hard as it is for a women to be a single parent to one or two children how can you manage 14 children? She says that she always wanted a big family because she was a isolated as an only child. I have a younger brother, we only have the same dad so most of the time it was just me. Technically on my mom's side I was an only child. I myself have said that I want to have more than one child because I know I always wanted a sister or a brother that was in the same household so we could grow together. I will be able to provide for all my children. She talks about how she wants to finish her master's degree in counseling. How are you going to raise 14 children, provide for them, and go back to school? Yeah, of course I know people do this all the time. I myself say that if I have a child while I'm in school that is what I will do. But, with 14 kids? She says that she'll send them to a daycare on the schools campus, last time I checked most days cares have a limited number of spaces based on the number of trained employee's that they have. I doubt there is enough space on a college campus for all 14 of her children. She already had 6 children prior to the 8 she just had. Why didn't she wait to finish school and then continue on to have more children once she knew she was able to do all the things she wants to do? I'm not trying to knock her or be judgmental but come on, she isn't being too realistic about this whole situation. She doesn't want help from anyone beside her family, friends, and her church. But, is she honestly going to turn down any other offers of donoations that people may offer to her? I doubt it.



I want to know other people outtakes on this whole ordeal. So, share your opinions!

  1. the truth is that she is getting paid to do all of these interviews. So while she says she doesn't want any help, subsequently she is getting some. LOL &&& no she is not going to be able to provide for these kids if she goes back to school, unless she seeks help & continues to do interviews . We will see how far that gets her before her story gets old . : )
