Octomom Puts Large Families on Defensive
Meagan Francis is expecting her fifth child in just a month. Yes, her fifth child. And no, she's not crazy. Nor is she a religious fanatic, mentally ill, a polygamist or an IVF addict. "I think for the most part we are pretty average people who ...Big families are better
I grew up in a larger-than-average family, by today's standards, and I have to say I've always felt that big families were better for the kids than smaller ones, even as I worry about the effects of over-population. Cassandra Jardine, a British ...Michelle Duggar pregnant Again!
Apparently the Duggar clan hasn't quite filled that quiver! Michelle Duggar, matriarch of the popular Discovery Channel program "The Duggars" and mother to seventeen children managed to surprise the entire lot live on the Today Show when she ...
Closing the door: How do you decide your family is complete?
My nephew was born last December, a delicious addition to my brother's family. Whenever I see him, which is not often enough, I nuzzle the folds in his neck, breathing deep his new-baby smell. I work hard to make him smile and laugh -- he's four ...
Is more than 2 kids "showing-off"?
Is having more than two kids "showing off"? According to this article, some urbanites seem to think so. The high cost of raising kids in cities like New York and San Francisco, as well as trendier concerns regarding population control and the ...
Want to live to 100? Father more kids
Ever heard someone say that their kids "keep them young?" Apparently that's true -- literally. A new study found that fathering a number of offspring is part of the formula for living past 100. At first, this doesn't seem to make sense. After all, ...Parenting Size Six: Stupid things strangers say
I have a family that is considered large by today's standards: four boys. For some reason, strangers on a near-daily basis feel the need to comment on this fact, usually in front of the kids. Here are some of the most frequent comments, and the ...100-year-old man has 100 grand kids
We just visited my parents this weekend, allowing them to spend a little time with their one and only grandchild. They're not quite 50, so -- if mom and dad are ever going to live up to this guy -- that leaves my siblings and I roughly half a century ...
Age difference essential to having lots of babies
OK guys -- if you want to be like the Duggars, or that guy who's fathered 78 children, here's the key: get with a younger woman. I'm totally serious. Australian researchers have discovered that the optimum age difference between partners (if the goal ...90 year old dad wants more kids
The Duggars might be closing in on quantity, but the quiver-filling couple is unlikely to ever match the reproductive longevity of Nanu Ram Jogi. The Indian farmer just fathered what he guesses to be his 21st child..........at the ripe old age of ...
Father of 78 wants 100 kids by 2015
As much as I like to joke about how looking after a large family would drive me insane, I secretly fantasize about having more kids. I think it'd be a blast to spend my days chasing after multiple rug rats. But I'm not sure I could handle 78. That's ...Parenting trends: bigger families, hands-on fathers
I guess parenting has trends just like fashion and music. The Australian newspaper, the Herald Sun, asked a group of parenting and family experts to predict the future trends of parenting and they came up with some rather interesting insights. For ...
Catherine Zeta-Jones: "two kids is enough"
Now this makes sense to me. No offense to our many readers who have multiple children, or the Duggars, but -- at least as far as I can tell -- large families, though loving, fantastic and wonderful, inevitably drive parents insane, right? Maybe you ...Passing judgment on large families
My friend is helping out her sister out and making some extra money by babysitting her sister's kids while she works full time. My friend has two children of her own and with the addition of her sister's, she has a total of four children under the ...
