I think it's totally ridiculous. A single mom who lives with her parents has no business going for a seventh. And furthermore, she has no business being on fertility drugs when she's got six and can't support them herself. And don't tell me that it hasn't been confirmed whether she was on fertility drugs, it's pretty obvious that she was. Humans don't give birth to litters.

I feel sorry for these kids. This is not the 1800s where they can all live on the farm and each take up a chore. How in the hell 14 kids are going to co-exist in an urban setting, assumably with minimal parental supervision (I think the mom is going to have to work 25 hours per day to afford to put spaghetti or rice on the table for 15 people), is beyond me. Absolutely ridiculous.

On a side note, imagine how the father of the octuplets feels right now. The guy is probably looking down at his twig and berries and cursing. Imagine what kind of child support payments the poor SOB is going to be on the hook for. I wonder how many dads are involved with the original six...
