Oh good grief. We had a very hectic week at work, so I only briefly heard about the birth in little snippets on the radio news.
And I guess I just assumed that we were talking about an infertile couple who had no other kids. I had no idea this would now make 14 kids for a single mother. That alone is enough to make me wonder WTF?
However, if she paid for fertility treatments - and yeah, I agree octuplets are not really likely otherwise - then she may be financially able to care for the entire bunch.
