OMG, last night's show made me cry wub.gif . What a great family they have there thumb.gif . And what a cool idea to store the coats and boots in a (clean!!) barn!

I'd love to attain their status of 12 kids someday thumb.gif .

Yeah unsure.gif . It was a rerun though; that episode aired back in October I believe.

i have serious issues about big families again that is only my opinion and No i will not elaborate because i'm not going to argue about it.

BUT i thought they handled having all those kids very well and seemed like a very put together and logical clan thumb.gif

I guess only a select few were meant to have lots of kids. Sorry I started the topic! Everyone raved about Jon & Kate + 8, and I thought this was along the similar lines.

Oh sorry I didn't mean to come across as rude. I DO like the show, I was just commenting on how I couldn't handle that many.. same as in Jon and Kate plus 8. I hope I didn't offend anyone. hug.gif

I've seen this show,,,,,,,but its been awhile so I dont remember the specifics. I enjoy watching all of the shows about big families. I think it takes a very special, selfless person(s) to raise a big family and I love the TV shows about it.

I have 3 kiddos and boy oh boy that is enough for me.

I don't think I would be able to handle that many kids on a day to day basis because when my sister comes over we have 8 kids all together and I can't really handle them.

I think it takes a very special couple to be able to raise that may kids and all the more power to you if that is what you want in life. hug.gif

I'd have loved to have more children. I still DO want more children, but it's not in the cards for me. I loved daycare for that reason... had 6 kids areound on most days. smile.gif

Good grief, I thought I have one (sometimes two) too many kids and I've only got three laugh.gif laugh.gif

Good for them, but I could NEVER handle it. Interesting show though!

I personally don't see anything wrong with large families as long as the parents are raising the kids and not the kids raising the kids and as long as they are supporting themselves (enough said!!!)

I haven't ever watched the show but I have seen the previews for it and wanted to watch just forgot tongue.gif

I loved that show too! I also love jon and kate plus 8. but for me i think once you have three you might as well have eight!
two was ok, not much of a change in our lives, but three...oh man!

thumb.gif I agree! We get no assistance whatsoever, and my older kids don't take care of the younger ones, but they do help out when I need to.

LOL, going from 2 to 3 is probably the hardest transition, because you are outnumbered and out-handed then. Anything after 3 is a breeze!!

I hope to have at least 8 wub.gif thumb.gif !

I love this show... along with Jon and Kate + 8 (which is my favorite) because I love to see a show that is REALISTIC. The children in these two families act like CHILDREN... although I must say Jon and Kate probably have 6 of the most well behaved 3 year olds I've ever seen wink.gif still... they get to act like kids.

That's what matters to me thumb.gif
