Would this hurt your relationship with your mom?

I totally agree with the grandmother. She's single and already has six kids she can't afford to raise. There is no way they can all be comfortable living in a 3 bedroom house. I only have 3 kids in a 3 bedroom house and it's cramped with just the 5 of us. The doctor should get his license revoked for going through with it!

I definitely understand where the mother is coming from. They are already struggling to take care of the first 6. I don't understand why she would have the other's knowing that it will be even harder for them to take care of 14. I really don't know where that woman's head is at. I feel bad for the grandmother. She loves her grandkids so she is going to help but it seems that her daughter is being inconsiderate by making if difficult for her to take care of all of them.

From what I heard on the Today show this morning it seems she has bitten off more then she can chew. I mean why have more if you can't even afford the ones she has already? I think it was a stunt to maybe be the first to have them that many at once so she could maybe make money off the deal. I agree with the mother also.

I understand they live in a three bedroom house. So I'ed be very up set if my daughter did that to me. They must both see things from a different perspective. I helped raise two of my grandchild but sure wouldn't look forward to 6 let alone 14.

I'm sorry but I TOTALLY agree with the mother! I think this daughter is out of her mind and up to no good to be perfectly honest with you! I think its absolutely VILE that this woman with 6 kids already would even CONSIDER going for more and keepign them!! Who in the hell do you think is goign to be footing the bill to raise all these children?? I'm sorry but unless this woman is a multimillionaire AND mentally stable enough to care for that many kids she had no flippin biz doing what she did AND apparently the second doc who helped her is now under investigation which IMO is what is needed!

I also agree with the mother, and if I were her I'd tell the daughter she's on her own here. It was her choice to have these kids, not her mother's, so they're her responsiblity. Her mother has done her time and raised her kids, now it's her turn to reap the benefits of being a grandma, but instead she's being a mom all over again, and that's just not fair for her daughter to put her in that situation.

I tend to agree with the mother, too. Does this woman have any idea at all what she is going to do for her children when they are all teenagers? Everything costs money. How is she going to feed and clothe 14 kids? What if they have trouble in school? I just don't get it, and it makes me feel sad for the kids. Big families are a joy, but they require more time, more money, and more, well, everything.

Well, i do agree with the mother, who would want so many children in her condition, it seems rather selfish to me. you can't just think about wanting to have another life but of course providing the best for that life. i understood that for a while and which is why that even though i WANT another child, my situation right not doesn't cause for it so i'll have to wait and make the age gap between my youngest and another one bigger (that's if i can have another one). my mother can say whatever she wants about me. but if i was in her daughters situation..living off my parents and expecting the support of my relatives to help me...i think my mom would chew me out differently. it can hurt the relationship, but if her daughter can't take it as some helpful advice, she's not mature enough to have those babies in the first place.

If the lady didn't have her mum I think she would have difficulty looking after six children. She wouldn't have have the time to get pregnant with eight babies. I can imagine feeding twins is possible, feeding triplets is challenging and feeding quads would be extremely demanding. How would any person feed eight babies? That is just too many to care for properly. I appreciate that the mum feels that her daughter would be struggling without her help. The family need a home the size of Buckingham Palace and yet they live in a three bedroom home. It must feel like a youth hostel with dorms. I agree with the mother and think the daughter is strange for wanting eight at once. I know that it must have been a demanding pregnancy. Perhaps the mother should have kept quiet so not to upset her daughter's feelings. Nobody can blame her for telling the truth though.

I agree with the grandmother. It is inconsiderate to say the least that the daughter is putting her parents in this position. The grandparents apparently have been caring for the other six, (which I understand are all pretty young) and one is autistic. How in the world is this woman planning on living? My only thought is that maybe she expects a reality TV show to pick her story up and fund her family that way. I saw a financial expert on the Today show just going over the dollar amount of diapers and it was over $20,000.00 for the first year alone. Even if she gets all sorts of money, where is going to find the time to bond with 14 kids???????

If I needed to be contradicted in any way, no matter who it is, I think I would be man enough to accept the fact. I'm not saying I would at first, but if I'm to high on my horse, I would hope someone would knock me down to size. I agree with the mother as well.

Hrm. I guess I'm a little critical of Angela Suleman, too. She has enough kids. She didn't need more. She had six and now has fourteens. She's going to be begging for cash from people. (Apparently, she started a website.)
