This makes me mad

Nadya Suleman wanted a "huge" family.  Well, a lot of us do.  And guess what, we show restraint when we realize that we cannot afford to raise them.  How can an unmarried person with fertility problems justify IVF to conceive 14 children?   How will she raise them?  With the charity and mercy of others, that is how.  I have worked in day care where I had 8 babies (and they were not newborns- most states limit that age to 2 per adult).  It is a lot of work.  There is never a down time, because someone always wants something, someone is always awake.  And that doesn't even factor in the emotional investment when one is dealing with one's own children.  Your own will wear you our faster than someone else's!

I just get angry when people have babies like they are accumulating a collection.  Maybe Ms. Suleman needs to meet ****.  They probably have a lot in common.
