That is a blessing, Kadi. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Although I dont envy you when they get bigger and need designer clothes and laptops for school. Or college, yikes. I only have 2, but I sometimes borrow my friends kids, and sometimes my neice and nephew, just to shake things up. As a mom, I think that having children at all makes you competent to give advice. There are people out there that pile degrees on top of degrees, but BEING THERE, and actually parenting, is far more informative then sitting in school for a dozen years. Any mom can tell you that. Different things work for different children, so not all advice will work for all children, but I know first hand, almost anything is worth a try. Its all a learning experience. And a team of moms all brainstorming on a blog is better than 1 mom trying to hack it on her own. Just MHO. I wish I could have 7 kids. That is a blessing, Kadi. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

I'll agree with that, mine weren't accidents, they just happened. BTW- I have three kids that happened with and I WAS on birth control of one form or another, so it does happen. Accident?

Nobody has an accidetn per year for 6 years straight. She has seven kids under eight because she is an ignoramous. What are you saying you would do if you lived near me Gayla. Picket my house with a sign that says mean guy inside? Your a joke. Whatever. Nobody has an accidetn per year for 6 years straight. She has seven kids under eight because she is an ignoramous.

She had one 'accident' after another and she and her husband were trying everything from pills to shots to condoms - one of them was very fertile and it just happened that way. And for goodness sakes - she was nurse - I'm sure she wasn't just ignorant to the process. Some people are just very fertile. I think they're a big, sweet family.

And it isn't exactly good practice to put full identifying info on the internet anywhere... Not that this means you should spend your time going around being rude, but some 'hiding behind the internet' is a combination of common sense privacy measures and a lack of internet know how.

They will forever hide behind the internet. They will not disclose their blog page, or disclose real information about themselves. They aren't brave enough. And, the more we leave posts about them, the more snotty comments they will leave.... Here is the bad thing, Gayla. They will forever hide behind the internet.

What I DO have a problem with is people who spew hatred for entertainment purposes. It's one thing to have a friendly and thought provoking debate and exchange of differences, but to just be all out mean - These people should be thankful they don't live anywhere near me. I have a tendency to full out humiliate them in public by *loudly* and with large audiences - pointing out what horrible, vile humans they are to do such things. Frankly - I think people should make a point to call out mean spirits frequently I personally don’t have a problem with getting negative feedback from my online and public existence.

But I do have to say, one cannot put oneself out there on TV, the internet, and everywhere without expecting some negative feedback. Which is why I personally would not do what you did.

I have not yet read all 2 years of her blog, but from what I have had the chance to read she didnt CHOOSE to have a kid per year as much as she was well, Blessed? Gifted? Stuck with? whatever your choice is. The problem isnt that Kadi is stupid, or a whore, or some sort of a freak. Shes a healthy young woman whos body is aparently working quite well by nature's standards, even if it seems extreme to our 2.3 children per household minds. Over the years Kadi has made mention of birth control and that it didnt work for her. Kadi was even seriously internally injured by an IUD for Christ sake ( no pun intended). SO quit yapping that she did NOTHING to prevent the pregnancies, whatever she did she did with love in her heart and sometimes well, it isnt enough, some higher power had a child that needed a mother, no fault of hers. Until you personally know someone who has been blessed with above average fertility its easy to throw stones and say " You CHOSE a big family..." when sometimes it really isnt so. My sister in law had 4 kids in 4 years, and this was with breastfeeding, condoms, and the pill after each one. She has a college education, so its not that she didnt understand the directions. All she could do was smile and accept each child as the gift they are, even tho she wants to scream some days. Her husband finally got a vasectomy, even tho shes in her 20s, which haunts her alot, but she wasn't going to choose a sexless marriage in order to preserve her physical and mental health. Some religions may disagree with this, but its her choice. *hugs to Kadi* OK, I’m seriously getting sick of the ” You made the choice to have 7 kids in 8 years so deal with it…” blablala.
