my thoughts

My poor little Belle has such a runny little nose. I feel so bad for her! I was just here thinking how hard it is to take care of a sick baby when you have other munchkins that you have to care for as well. I am not saying that it is impossible just, that I want to cuddle them till they feel better and take all the pain away from them. Then I end up feeling guilty that I have not given as much time to the other munchkins that are not sick. So going with that thought, how is this new "octomom" going to care for all 14 of her munchkins all by herself? They are all under 7 right? Since the last 8 that she had are small they might be more prone to sickness in the first year. What is she going to do? I feel for her little ones. When you are little and sick you need cuddling and mommy time but how do you do that when 3 other siblings are sick too? How much cuddle time do you get period? Don't get me wrong, I think big families are wonderful and the bigger the better. I also think that you need two parents and a job to make it work. The Duggers (from tv) have 18 kids but they spaced them out and have a loving family base to pull from. I only have 4 munchkins so I probably should just not put my 2 cents worth in. I just was really wondering how she can make it work. I hope she can.

Oh sister such a topic of conversation?!? Not sure what the octamom is going to do, I pray for her childrens' sake she receives TONS of help. I agree w/you & I enjoy the Duggerts. I want to know how she never raises her voice w/18 in the house :)

I don't think she can do it without lots and lots of help.

Good questions to ponder.

Your kids are adorable, too & I hope you are back to normal soon!

I hope your little one gets better soon. Yup, I wonder too how this mom of 14 will handle taking care of her kids - it'll be interesting to find out. Thanks for joining our meme this week.

It's definitely going to be rough for her. But it's the children I worry about. I have 4 munchkins (including my step-daughter), and we need two parents and TWO jobs! :-D

I don't have time to worry about what she is or is not going to do. I am a single mother of 3 and since this happened she has given single motherhood a bad name.

I think she has given herself a bad name and you should give yourself a big hug for being able to take care of 3 little angels all on your own! That is so hard, I know my mom did that for me and my brother. It is a thankless job. You have no time for yourself and all the pressure is just on you to get it all done. It is a true superhero job.

Thank you for the reminder of the single mothers take on octomom to.
She is a joke.
