She as 13 other kids, Yilly. I'm sure they will help out.

[B00]

Imagine running round after toddlers when your 70 which she will be at the time they're at that age.

I'm knackered thinking about it!

[sherrardk]

I don't understand it - she already has 13 kids and is now going to have another 4. That would be weird enough if she wasn't 65. The doctors should be struck off for doing the procedure.

[B00]

That's another issue I think as well Tony.

I've noticed that families loads of children expect the elder ones to help look after the younger, again, I think that's horribly selfish.

[tonyav]

So do I B00, but I'll bet that's what she has in mind.

Horribly selfish to have kids...and so many!...at her age. But I dont see it as necessarily selfish to have the elder children help take care of the younger. This was certainly normal practice before the 2.5 child family. My mum was one of 11,and she always spoke fondly of how she and her sisters looked after the little ones

Agree with pastafreak. At about the same age I know I could not give babies the time and energy they need. Can't believe that this idiot is doing all this because her 9-yr-old wanted a baby sibling! When I was about 7 I told Mum that I would like a baby brother (only had a dearly loved sister) and the reply was a, nicely phrased, definite 'no' - she was 37!

[Prudie]

Unbelievably selfish. any child who lost a parent at a young age will know how devastating it can be and in this case it's almost inevitable. Presumably someone also received a nice fat payment for carrying out the procedure.

My mom told me the stork had migrated, jourdain :-(

[jourdain2]

tonyav - we were both deprived then (that's what they say today) :o(

[tonyav]

I have a younger brother, I was hoping for a football team though.

[pastafreak]

I was an afterthought. Mum was 40...11/14 year age difference between my brother/sister and I. My dad was embarrassed,sister not happy...;-)

[tonyav]

Sister no longer the baby then, pasta.

[tonyav]

According to my mom, when my baby brother was presented to me ( I was two ), I said get him out of my pram.

[wired]

Yes, it's hard to bring up children but she's gone to the press and more than likely sold her story and lots of other agencies will be offering help, if history is in the making there is money to be made

this selfish woman should be certified & locked away for her own good !
