At least that's what Yahoo News (UK) reports today about a 16 year old girl in Argentina. What is going on?

Oh my! I have taught triples and the parents said the early years of looking after them were hard work. I met a lady this summer with triples babies and a ten year old son. She fed one, her husband fed another and her son fed the other. Imagine having two sets of triplets and being only sixteen years old! Sixteen is young to have one baby let alone six children. I hope that she will not have another pregnancy. Good luck to her.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. Apparently the family are very poor and you've got to wonder what chance they all have. I left having children until my 30's and I still didn't feel prepared. Although let's be honest, my wife did most of the really hard and yucky stuff.

OK, I thought this was about you. I am glad that it is not and that your not 16 having triplets. God help the girl with 6 kids at 16 years of age. I think that is just ridiculous.

I shudder to think of me as having 6 children at 16. Poor girl, but there is something dreadfully wrong somewhere with all this.

I really just do not understand kids having kids. I am 23, and i dont think that I am ready to be a father yet. I am sure that there are some great people who have come from situations like that, but i guess it just would not be for me. Good luck to her though. I hope that she has a good support system. IE her mom and dad.

I was 31 when my daughter was born. Her support system apparently is her mum, who is a cleaner. That's about it. Poor girl.

6 kids at sixteen - sterilize her now. Ellie :D

You sound much like a good friend of mine who would strongly advocate the sterilisation route too. Truly, I am at a loss to comment much on this.
