The Duggars may be married but there is no way ANYONE can care for 18 or 19 children and give them the attention and nurturing they need. Yet, you don't see Almight Snyderman wagging her fingers at the Duggars do you?Childfreeeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776614837813912148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-59301705602386057342009-09-23T14:06:03.815-07:002009-09-23T14:06:03.815-07:00Michi, the Today Show's audience is MOMS, so t...Michi, the Today Show's audience is MOMS, so the only way they will do a spot on childfreedom is if they can somehow twist it into a pro-parenthood piece. There were 2 pieces they did in the past year (I blogged about them) which could have been featured as pro-childfree. One was a piece on research showing that the marital satisfaction declines after a couple has children. The other was Childfreeeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776614837813912148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-7906348783276466192009-09-23T13:21:44.722-07:002009-09-23T13:21:44.722-07:00I love how the Today show is decrying the Octomom,...I love how the Today show is decrying the Octomom, yet when Michelle Duggar announced her 18th and 19th pregnancies, where did she do it?

If it wasn't for the fact that my tubes have already tied themselves into a triple knot after a weekend at Disneyworld (an unavoidable event), this would do it. If the Today Show is supposed to present information that's of use to viewers, why not include information on being childfree? It is a valid life choice, or would it too much to ask them to do a profile without any The Pinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987851778195111585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-51363749915410464972009-09-21T14:33:58.570-07:002009-09-21T14:33:58.570-07:00What I did find kind of funny was when Octomom cri...What I did find kind of funny was when Octomom criticized Kate Gosslin's body and then said she looked better than her! LOL! Is she trying to get a Playboy or Penthouse deal or something? I hope she keeps her stretched out vajayjay to herself!CFVixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777723818313211020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-1652881091468318072009-09-21T02:40:30.745-07:002009-09-21T02:40:30.745-07:00You know - another thing I just noticed.

If you look at the screen for that video, the title of the piece is: "The Octuplet Mom: why we can't look away".<br /><br />Um, we can't look away because media outlets like the Today Show keep running features on her! (and then I write about it, so I guess I am part of the problem too. I guess I should shut up).Childfreeeeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01776614837813912148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-4036169096011090192009-09-20T20:14:57.462-07:002009-09-20T20:14:57.462-07:00This is a horrible precedent.

For all the "bad parent porn" talk surrounding Octomom, she has gotten plenty of material and personnel assistance.<br /><br />And now I have to go have a repulsion convulsion--between that mouthy two year old and Schrodinger's Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05254361271490888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155688048560818982.post-75167220923590302882009-09-20T09:46:58.281-07:002009-09-20T09:46:58.281-07:00OMG, the clips from that show just had my skin cra...OMG, the clips from that show just had my skin crawling. I wanted to cry right along with the kids! That's insane!!<br /><br />And I agree with the premise of your post. These people are casting stones based basically on the number of children. What is the correct number?CFVixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777723818313211020noreply@blogger.com
