Am I crazy for wanting quads, quints or sextuplets?

16 July 2011

Question by ṼḕṆḭḉḕ: Am I crazy for wanting quads, quints or sextuplets?
I’m only 16 so there’s no way I’m even close to having even one baby. I’ve wanted twins since I was little and played with those Itty Bitty Twins, but now I’ve been thinking for a few years now that having quads, quints or even sextuplets would be so amazing. Yes, I know the diaper changing and late night bottle-feeding would be hell while they were young, but it would be so rewarding in the end.

I’ve read probably 5 or 6 books written by parents of multiples (Kate Gosselin, parents of the Dilleys) and I’ve watched Jon and Kate Plus 8 (before it was crap), Quints by Surprise, Raising Sextuplets…stuff like that. So I don’t want it cause I think it would be easy or I want a TV show, I just think having 4, 5 or 6 kids running around would be worth it. Am I completely crazy? Has anyone else ever thought this?

Well I dont think crazy is the correct term. Try stupid instead.

  1. Just the late night feeding? Why don’t you try having one baby and see how hectic that is, then think about if you want 6 of them all at once.

  2. Yes, you’re crazy. I laugh @ “late night” …. no hon, it would be ALL night. And the fact that you would be fine bottle-feeding ….. that’s not a good sign :/

  3. Nah, you’re not crazy. I’m 17 and I think it would be great to have multiples. It would be hard, but like you said rewarding

  4. You want the attention and self perceived fame. You don’t want the work. It seems you have a disconnect what parenting really is.

  5. yeah you are a little crazy, 1 you can have 2, 5 or 6 kids running around without popping them all at the same time, 2 its not very advisable to have that many at once as usually at least one of the baby’s will die before birth and it is a lot of strain on the mothers body, 3 you think that’s whats going to be hard? for a start as newborns baby’s need to each feed for about 45 minutes every 2/4 hours, now imagine 6 kids eating for 45 minutes every 3 hours, you’d be feeding for over 4 hours for each feed, you’d need to double up! add to that each baby would go through about 6 nappies a day so 36 nappies a day that’s over 1300 nappies in the first year alone!

  6. It’s insane. I have twins and there is a heck of a lot more to it than a few months of night time feeding and diapers. Everything I do is doubled- nursing two babies, trying to console two hysterical infants, two carseats to juggle. Now that they are older, I’m constanly chasing two 18 month olds who are bent on destruction or hurting themselves. I don’t really see at time that it’s going to get easier. Yes, it’s rewarding, but it’s hard work. Multiple that by 2 or 3 and hoping for it is insanity.
