"16 Kids and Counting" - how do they afford it?

I don't think I'd be so keen on our son in our room all the time at home, true (-:

I don't know where the mums find the energy! I have 2 and I'm shattered.
The mum from the north east on this weeks episode was an odd one...new socks and take outs. I was a bit go smacked at the baby eating pizza off the floor.... But hey ho..not for me to judge.

The Mormon family seemed lovely..and I have to admit there youngest..(posie?) almost made me broody again....3p

I agree with you troutwrestler. I thought it was lovely when the children of the Mormon family said that another child would bring more love ( or something like that ) it was very mature and a sign that they came from a very loving home.

I think the first mother was just playing up for the cameras, a bit like a immature, needy teenager.

I watched the episode with my 10 year old and she was mortified at the First Lady going out clubbing with her daughters .....:p
A bit immature I agree... Although saying that her and her husband seemed like a good couple.

I just can't get my head round that many children... What if you all got a sickness bug,.. Dear god it doesn't bear thinking about!
Maybe I'm just lazy mind you..but ironing and washing for 4 people is too much for me.

With The woman with all the girls, the girls really remind me of the step sisters in Cinderella with the teeth and the way they talk. Really annoying laugh too
Agree with the clubbing, she is living a fairy tale and doesn't want to grow up. Then we see her waiting on her children which is crazy.


It seems a lot of the husbands put up with what the wife wants (aside from that Pakistani guy).

I caught a bit of last night's episode, never seen it before. Strangely I thought the clinginess and breastfeeding habit of Posie would have been enough to put anyone off having another.

Each to his own!!;)

I'm watching the one with the Lewis family now, and all keep thinking is "Jesus, that lipstick is minging!" everytime the mother comes on screen.

Sorry but don't like the morals of the Mormons. They want to repopulate the Earth- isn't there enough people in the world?!

Better off 'educating' the living about their religion rather than spreading the message through more kids.

Note the 'educating' is in inverted commas

Educate amongst themselves
