I’m sorry but I don’t see how this is a blessing. I had twins after already having one and said I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Do you have any idea what it will really be like with 8 babies?

[derllak]

Lol! That’s just what I was thinking! Eight kids is great, but one at a time, please! Life is gonna be a little rough for this poor woman.

Sure. But they are alive and kicking. The parents did not do selective abortion and chose to have the babies. Its all a blessing. Sure its going to be hard, really hard but not all blessings are easy.

My son was 2 1/2 when my identical twin daughters were born.

I cried when I found out I was carrying twins. I knew how much work 1 baby was, and I didn’t know how I’d manage with 3.

It also did not go well. My twins got sick when they were 6 weeks old. One of them has a brain injury, and at 12 years old we are still dealing with issues from that.

I love my twins, but I would never have fertility drugs that increased my chances of having multiples. I’d adopt instead.

Try not being able to have any. Eight is a blessing, none is a curse.

How I wish I could be your worst enemy!

Have you read the Gosselin's book? They're the ones who had twins, then sextuplets, and their lives are chronicled on a popular cable tv show "Jon & Kate + 8". Looks like, while it has been difficult for them, the blessings far outweighed the negative!!

Any time God brings a life--ANY LIFE--into this world, it is a blessing. :*) It is up to us (humanity) to treat those blessings properly, and not like property than can be tossed out with the trash. :*(

I also had a baby when I became pregnant with identical twin girls. I lost one of my girls when I was eight months pregnant, due to a knot in her cord.
I think losing a child that you have carried for eight months, is something that I would not wish on my worst enemy.
I know kids can drive you out of your mind at times, but think of the alternative and count your blessings.

With 8 babies in diapers, 8 babies hungry in the night at different times, 8 babies waking each other up at different times and 8 loads of laundry, the only way this mother will survive is to have a lot of family help and a generous helping of outside charity. She will probably end up on TV with the brood often. Maybe Gerber or Enfamil will sponsor her. God help her when they all start to drive at the same time... There will be one heck of a birthday party each year. I recommend Xanax or Lexapro for the mother. Psychotherapy for the father. God’s grace for the grandparents. Fertility drugs, into the trashcan.
