<p>Talk about unlimited <strong>ranting</strong> material here! </p>
<p>Are you kidding me? She willfully decided to have all the remaining embyros implanted, ending up with <strong>octuplets</strong>? I don&#8217;t understand how she justifies her actions. It doesn&#8217;t seem fair to anyone, including herself. But she doesn&#8217;t get that.</p>
<p>Parenting even one child requires sacrifice, dedication, patience&#8230;.so many things&#8230;.but especially time. An investment of your time into the child&#8217;s life is what makes all the difference in the world. How can one woman divide herself enough ways to give each of 14 children the time and attention they deserve? She can&#8217;t. She simply can&#8217;t. Even before the new babies have left the hospital, she&#8217;s mentioned she feels bad for the 6 at home. What makes her think the demands on her time will be any less once the 8 new ones are home? Is she thinking at all? Doesn&#8217;t seem so to me.</p>
<p>So yes, I get angry that people can be so selfish and unthinking, but only until I remember that on a higher level, each of those new babies has chosen to come into the world with THIS mom, this situation, for whatever their soul lessons are. Although I think it was a stupid decision on her part, I also realize I&#8217;m in no position to judge and once again, get knocked back into recognizing it&#8217;s all a part of the plan, and then I chill out and send blessings to all of them.</p>
