It's not a family: it's a business.

I'm always thinking that it's not natural nor healthy to be pregnant that many times especially in a row. I think it compromises both the health of the baby and the mother.

It's just irresponsible in my book but I'd probably keep having babies if my dr. and dh were on board. LOL I do love babies especially mine.

I also cannot imgaine being pregnant all of my adult life, but if she keeps going the way she has been, she could no doubt pop out at least 20 more kids before she hits menapause. When does it end????


I just think having that many children is bizzare. I have never seen the show but I imagine the older ones are responsible for the younger ones. Has there ever been a break down of their budget and expenses? I would love to see that!

She's 42. I doubt she'll be able to pop out 20 more kids before menopause. LOL. That's not to say she won't have a few more, but it took her 21 years to have 18 kids (including 2 sets of twins), so assuming she keeps having them at the same rate, it would take her roughly 23 years to have 20 more. That would make her 65. The average age of menopause is 51.

As much as I love my kids and wouldn't mind having one more, I can't imagine being pregnant that many times and both of my pregnancies were pretty easy.
