I would need the patience those two obviously have. I can't imagine the every day details the parents have to look over. What I think is great, is that they have all these children, and they can afford them. I've people say, they are overpopulating the earth. Well excuse, me they can afford to have these children. They don't need government help. From what I've seen, is that the parents have provided the world with responsible, respectful, and hard working human beings. If that is the result of a big family, then I say have had it! : )

I just had my first baby.I'm trying to just plain cope.Whew, children are a blessing.But it does take patience.The most thing I missed is just sleep.I believe the tv channel discovery channel helps them out some way.Because their is no way she can dressed them all alike from the thrift store.

They shop at places like Aldi's to save money, but they aren't hurting for money. He used to be an Arkansas Representative, and now he is exelling in real estate. They didn't get paid, but Discovery Health DID furnish their entire house with bedding and furniture. I just feel bad for the little ones. Can you imagine the hand me downs they got?

Well, I just heard about them today and I must say that I find them and their lifestyle to be completely distasteful, repulsive to me. It is their choice and at least they can provide for their kids financially, though unfortunately not emotionally. I think it's terrible to use your older kids to be your regular babysitters, if people like that can't take care of their own "rabbits" themselves then they shouldn't pawn them off their older kids and should let their older kids have a normal life being kids, not slave labour! Firstly, I would never be stupid or backward enough to have that many kids, and if I did, I'd probably want to shoot myself first. lol
