Hi guys, this is an interesting couple... They couldn't have any children and when they tried treatment they had twin girls. They wanted a third baby and bam! they got six screaming beauties!!
What do you think? were they too greedy?

Big Mac · Jan 3, 2009, 10:46 PM

I don't think they like each other very much anymore. The show is hard to watch, too (although I guess that's to be expected - it's not really geared toward male viewers AFAIK).

brassplayersrock² · Jan 3, 2009, 11:41 PM

wow, i wonder how much she got paid for the water slide

Mabelusk · Jan 3, 2009, 11:55 PM

You can say perseverance pays off. Or that too much perseverance will screw you up. Depends on what they think about kids after having eight children.

What show are they on?

karolie · Jan 3, 2009, 11:59 PM

i think its a nice story //.. * tears .. I want six screaming beautties !

karolie · Jan 4, 2009, 12:00 AM

plus 6 WONDERFUL nannies

haha

Carla V. · Jan 4, 2009, 12:04 AM

Well for those who, as karolie, want to fill their lives with joy, here's 8 things to keep in mind (direct advice from Kate

)
Tip #1 Organize
Tip #2 Shop on a Budget
Tip #3 Prepare for Outings
Tip #4 Count Your Blessings
Tip #5 Promote Safety
Tip #6 Provide Order
Tip #7 Reward Your Children
Tip #8 Make Housework a Family Affair

Mabelusk · Jan 4, 2009, 12:09 AM

Tip #9 NEVER stay with them all by yourself. They could kill you

vmarks · Jan 4, 2009, 12:24 AM

I once talked with a doctor about having triplets. He said "Never have triplets. Always stop with twins. Most couples with three or more at the same age are divorced within 5 years."

lyanma · Jan 4, 2009, 12:24 AM

they weren't greedy this things just happen, God blessed them.
now the reality is that's just too much kids

, even tho it sounds like such a happy story, just as Mabelusk said "You can say perseverance pays off. Or that too much perseverance will screw you up" ;D

How can one avoid it in the unlikely event it happens? (Aside from not taking fertility drugs, that is. . .)

I can think of one answer that will land in the PWL. Other than that though, no idea

I'm curious too. How could you stop?

moonmonkey · Jan 4, 2009, 08:10 AM

I watched a show where they fed the kids cotton candy ice cream for dinner, this is all they ate, just a bowl of ice cream.
Does anyone else think this is strange?

zro · Jan 4, 2009, 11:10 AM

I second hand watch it sometimes. I haven't a clue how that guy puts up with that chick.

Second hand watcher as well. I'm amazed he hasn't hauled off and smacked her yet.

I didn't see that episode, but from what I have seen, she's obsessive about what the kids eat. I suppose that was some sort of one time treat.

a woman can only naturally have twins, now natural triplets thats almost a miracle,
the multiple babies boom really just depends on women. if you are thinking about having twins its not up to you my male friends! ;P
if you dont want quintuplets or something like that then never go to a fertility clinic....unless u really have to

shifuimam · Jan 4, 2009, 04:17 PM

It is absolutely physically possible for a woman to have a multiple birth naturally. It's not common, but it's not impossible.

Obviously, most multiple births come from the use of fertility drugs. I don't know about the morality of that or IVF. I mean, with IVF you're essentially creating life (unborn babies) and tossing out the ones that "don't work". It's a bit of a moral quandary for people who don't believe that life begins at conception...but I probably shouldn't open that can of worms.

Are there any articles on this show's couple having issues?

Well, to me this looks like spam.

They want to generate traffic and Google hits for J0hn & K8te, nothing else.

The mods should look into this.

Hg2491 · Jan 4, 2009, 06:17 PM

Dude no, lol. They are real people like you and me.

RIGHT! we want to generate google hits for jon & kate, twilight, your ideal partner and the hot babes thread!
are you serious?
There are a couple of new girls on the forum, now just get over it!

sek929 · Jan 4, 2009, 06:37 PM

They all came here to vehemently defend Twilight*....and now we're stuck with em.

*Also, they seem to be on a crusade against proper grammar and capitalization.

Hg2491 · Jan 4, 2009, 06:42 PM

I think they are a nice addition to the MacNN Forums.

turtle777 · Jan 4, 2009, 06:43 PM

So, what honeypot attracted all those new "ladies" ?

Who's that Twilight persona ?

Two questions.

Do they use Macs?

and

Can they be coaxed into using capitalization?

Right now I'm not using a Mac, so don't see your point there.
Apparently they are using IM lingo, I think this is new to them.

I use Mac, a white Macbook, but the hard drive just broke the other week and so I'm just not using it right now

are you happy?
Now can you all just leave us alone?
I really don't understand what seems to be the problem.........

*Oh and btw I'm not used to Forums, I didn't know grammar and capitalization was such a big deal.

So, sorry about that ;D

Good god, woman, you don't have to use so many effing emoticons in every post!

Oh, and make a valiant attempt to use paragraph breaks. It makes inane posts easier to comprehend to those bored enough to read them.

This is the type of woman we are used to here at the NN forums.

This is why I hate women. Call me a traitor to my gender if you want, but I can't stand obnoxious ditzes who can't communicate coherently on the Internet.

Well, I'm glad you said that. If it was us men, they would accuse us again of being "homophobic".

It would make me LOL, at least.

Should I add twenty or thirty emoticons to this post?

This is what you guys get for posting about Twilight in the first place. Should have kept it to less emasculating topics.

Yes, you're right.

I'm sorry on behalf of the men at 'NN.

So, can you help to make them go away ?

sek929 · Jan 4, 2009, 07:23 PM

Shif is a lot like most of the girls my group hangs out with.

They despise ditzes, they're smart, and they'd rather hang with the guys because they're sick of the pettiness and deceitful nature of the rest of their gender.

My girlfriend included.

So now I have to think twice before posting about something I'm interested on? I thought the forums were all about expression ourselves. Apparently I stand mistaken.

Dude, you don't even know them! How can you assume they are like this in real life?

sek929 · Jan 4, 2009, 07:26 PM

I don't think anyone has a problem with you, at least you capitalize and use punctuation

I bet there are plenty of Tw1light forums out there. Just use those.
