Six Kids Plus Octuplets Equals... Holy @#%!

So the latest "big" news in the U.S. that isn't bad news (although if I was the mother I would consider it terrible news), is the woman in California who gave birth to Octuplets, the highest number of babies to be born alive in the United States. That's one record I will not be trying to set in the future. For those of you who do not know what that means, this woman recently gave birth to eight kids at the same time. Horrific, I know.
But that isn't the most horrific part of the story. If she was a new mom, who was trying to get pregnant for the love of children, I would say "Aww, well now she has enough to start her own television show." But she's not. The mother of the Octuplets has six children already. SIX. So let's do the math together... SIX plus eight equals... 14 children. FOURTEEN!!! She almost has enough kids to have her own classroom. I'm wondering if she's part of a polygamy group, but if she was, she wouldn't be allowed to be in the spotlight, or some crazy thing like that. It's just unbelievable! Will she and her husband be able to care for all 14? That's what I want to know. It's great that they all survived up to this point, but will they have a good life?
In many states, there are limits as to how many pets you can own in one house (I know, I watch a lot of Animal Cops). So shouldn't that rule be in affect for human beings as well? You would have to live in a mansion to have enough room for all of these children, especially when they grow up. Hell, you have to live in a mansion just for eight kids to have enough space for themselves!
The most incredulous part of this story was that the mother of SIX children began going to a fertility clinic for help and received fertility treatment. OBVIOUSLY, lady, you had no trouble at all in conceiving! COUNT YOUR KIDS! There are people in this country who cannot conceive any children; boy you must feel great that you are a baby making machine. You better get a show on television and exploit your children fast; John and Kate Plus 8 have nothing on you...
