I just can't understand the blood transfusion thing. Do they just let people die? Because my two preemies each got two blood transfusions in the NICU, and would have easily died without. Is that preferable to those who are against them, or in dire cases like preemies do they allow them? There really wasn't any…

Oh absolutely! Treating a 13 year old like a baby is just going to make them angry.

Ha, no, they're 2 and they're just starting to actually HAVE words so I say it to encourage them to really talk instead of whine or babble.

Speech therapy was fun, so don't dread it! And maybe it was our particular therapist who liked those words. Plus, I think you kind of just have to say them to kids or some variation of them at least. I know my boys are totally content to incoherently whine for ages rather than just say "MILK!"

Yeah, all I know of her is what I saw on the show and that was years ago (I have not followed her social media "career") but she definitely seemed to treat them as a pack, not individuals. I hope that changes as they grow.

They didn't do IVF they did IUI and/or had sex on fertility drugs. Most couples that end up with high order multiples (Octomom aside), do IUI or have sex after fertility drugs. She did the drugs, overstimulated and had too many eggs, was told not to have sex, did it anyway and got pregnant with 6 babies.

I say that to my kids. I never wanted to say things like that, but when they were a year old and in speech therapy their therapist said it ALL THE TIME and I started. Guess I'm dooming them to dread those words for all eternity.

And I feel even worse for the kids than I do for her (well, I don't feel bad for her at all as she got herself into that mess of sextuplets). I know how hard teenage years were with two siblings, I cannot imagine that many. And almost all the same age. Ugh.

Maybe before the mass reproduction? I know two kids can stress my marriage sometimes, I can't fucking imagine sextuplets on top of my twins!

I like that your lady categories are 20s, 30s, grandmas.

So you're both a financial and sexual failure? (I mean this jokingly, not to be mean)

Maybe the rich have nannies, so they can be more concerned with their sex life than their sleep life. My kids are 2 now, but damn if I don't still care more about sleep than sex.

Eventually she is going to be living with 3 teenage boys and 5 teenage girls. I think that may be punishment enough for how heinous she behaved during her tv show. Especially considering they have probably all learned behavior and snottiness and everything FROM HER.

AHHHHHHHH. I try to hold my breath through most diaper changes, or at the very least immediately throw that nasty thing in the diaper pail. GAG ME. And I do hold my breath every single time I have to empty the diaper pail. Run through the house to the outside garbage and close the lid on that before I exhale/inhale at…

And I said that I did EVERYTHING I could think of short of taking him out of his car seat in a moving vehicle (and I don't give a shit if it's a bus instead of a car, I'm not doing it). I would never in a million years ignore my kid's shitty behavior in public and just shrug it off with a "kids do that." That was my…

Exactly.

Oh I know it's common, I just don't think it's something to be all "Ohhh how sweet!" about if he's married. But I'm also hoping it's just a stupid thing he said in press for the movie, not actual reality.

Yeah I didn't teach him that. I continued telling him not to do it until he lost interest. I held his legs down whenever I could. PARENTING.

Wasn't he married for those years???
