I feel bad for ALL of those children.
Why weren't these kids taken away from her since the get-go?
We all females that want to have a baby our first are mostly amazed at the amount of work and lost sleep one baby will cause. Who would that thought that one small human would take total controll of our lives. There are times when the first baby will cause the Mom to cry in frustration from lost sleep and worry of this new human.
Those that have twins become overwelled with the constant diaper changes, feeding and little sleep.
Triplets turn the mother into a machine to feed, clothe the kids and if there are older kids teach them to help, demand the older kids help carry the burden the new baby's have placed on the family. learn to make their own breakfast, how to use the washing machine and dryer, clean the house and take out the mountains of trash.
If no older kids to help, much more crying in the bathroom for the Mom.
Same in any big family, each child comes along and the older kids have to help out the family, the older kids may resent having to become caretakers of the new baby's and have to do more and more chores as each new baby comes along. But, the new baby comes along in at least one year spaces.
This Mother had 6 kids that were all trying to find their place in the family pecking order and knew what their chores and what not was, 6 little kids that most likely felt abounded as each new baby came along and they had to up the help to the mother.---------Frankly had I had 6 kids of any age I would also be eating my lunch in the bathroom, that is allot of humans to be responsible for as a single mother.
Before the older kids can adjust Mommy comes home with ---GASP---8 new born baby's.
The news media descends on the family, the oldest are in shock and left to raise themselves with no father or mother as she is going bug shit. ------ So they become in their mothers eyes Animals as they struggle to become their own person on their own. Who is looking after them, cooking their meals and changing the sheets on their beds????? Who is helping them to learn to tie their shoes, --It is difficult for children in a family of 6 to get attention with both parents around but just having one parent makes life things difficult ---But they can get through this one way or the other. Lots of family's survive and thrive with 8-10 kids as the baby's usually come one at a time.
Fancy this, few hospitals put just one nurse in charge of 8 new Born's 24/7----There is the mother even with help in that position. Lots of help at first then as the baby's age the help becomes less and less.
Now the 8 new Born's are home and demand 24/7 care each, there are 6 older kids in the family that may rightly so get 15 minutes day each of attention from their Mother.
14 kids and Mother may even forget their name as some grandmothers with 14 grandkids will have to go down the line to get the child's name correct.----
Me, if I had 14 kids I would have to have a name tag on each one. -------If I were one of the 6 kids, as soon as mom walked in the door with 8 new Born's I at the age of 5 would be on the streets hoping to be kidnapped by a Gypsies family with no kids.
