I think the question running through a lot of peoples' minds is why would she seek out more children (even only one) if her financial situation isn't stable and there's no partner to help her out.

I mean, parents' help is great, I'm all for it - but there's nothing like having a life partner to take on some of the stress of even one baby.

I give single moms a lot of props for being able to do what they do, especially by themselves. But most single mothers don't choose to be a mother of 14 - or even 7, which is what she'd have had the babies not been multiples. So I can understand the negative reaction.

I get this. I mean, I know some single moms and I am 100% sure that they didn't CHOOSE it. It is hard for me to understand how someone would choose to bear the burden of taking care of that many kids.
