I once worked with a dialysis nurse who was thrilled to be delivering her eleventh child with no end in sight. I thought she was crazy until I met her family and saw how much they actually enjoyed being parents to so many children. I didn't consider her to be "different", any more than I would have considered my grandmother, who had sixteen children, different. To each their own as long as the children are loved and able to be supported by their parents. IMHO>..

I think if you watch this program you will see that it is not the sheer number of children that is being objected to. It is the way they seem to be sheltering their children from the realities of the real world. I suppose if these children continue to live their whole lives in this sheltered environment they will be just fine. But heaven help the one who ventures outside of that cocoon!!

I am sure you are right since I haven't seen it but would like to...I can't imagine sheltering from this new world. How scary for them when they have to be on their own. I will have to watch for the program..Thanks..
