All I have to say is this woman has an addiction. The next story I'm waiting to hear about is when her uterus falls out while she is shopping with her kids in the local Kmart.

Don't get me wrong, if they LOVE and CARE for all of these kids, thats great but when I have seen these Discovery programs with them, I have always noticed that at some point the kids get ignored for the sake of another. She is only one person and can not be in more than one place at a time. She gives babysitting duties to older children and I don't think that is fair to the little ones. But these are not my children and she can raise them any way she likes.

This happens in families with multiple kids.

There is no way possible that those children are well adjusted. How much quality time can you spend with any given child?

I don't know, I think that they could be well adjusted. I from what I understand the younger children are home schooled, which gives them at least some face time with their mother. Even if it's not one on one time, it is better than nothing. Additionally, there are plenty of families out there in which the parent(s) is/are always working and therefore the children spend a lot of time alone or with a relative, or running the d*mn streets.
