Sarah Foss, 39, got pregnant at age 16 and was so traumatized by the birth, she swore off kids for another 10 years. After having her second child in 1996, Foss has gotten pregnant every year since then. Now Foss is pregnant with her 14th child and vows to keep her OB-GYN busy, until he places a set of twins in her arms.
The Derby, UK, "mum" says, "All I've ever wanted is twins or triplets. It's my biggest wish, and I'm going to keep trying until I do it. It would be fantastic. In fact, I won't stop trying until I've done it. I love having babies - it's the most wonderful thing in the world."
Foss swears that her children are not a bother at all. She and her longtime live-in partner, Stephen Smith, 40, all live in a three bedroom house. Smith works as a canal boat builder and Foss is a stay-at-home mom but insists that they make ends meet by watching every penny that comes in to the household.
Belt-tightening is not an easy feat in the Foss-Smith household. Each week the couple averages $1,000 on groceries alone--32 loaves of bread, 75 pounds of potatoes, 126 pints of milk, 36 rolls of toilet paper, three large boxes of detergent, eight boxes of cereal.
The busy mom is also very anal about keeping a spotless home. So every day Foss gets up at 4 a.m. to make sure her family is not viewed by the neighbors as "living in a pigsty and behaving as low-life scroungers who beg off the state."
The couple's children sleep in movable bunkbeds and cots, so that they can change them around at bedtime. Two of her children sleep on an airbed. Foss says, that her household is "a squash and a squeeze, but it's cozy. It's home."

If she enjoys having babies and her existing children are taken care of and healthy, who are we to say that she needs to stop having children. It is her God-Given right to have as many children as the almighty allows her to have! Now the only thing I think she SHOULD DO is, at the least, invest in a baby name book! Lol

If she wanted twins/triplets that badly, couldn't she have just had invitro done to do that instead of having all these kids? If she had done that in the first place, she might have gotten her wish, without having to have so many children as she does now.
At this point if I were her, I'd get my tubes tied, and give up. Who wants 15+ children to feed and take care of? How could you even hope to give them a good life and make sure every childs needs are met.
Some people should not be allowed to breed.

They could care less about the happiness of their kids. It's all about them and her wanting twins she can play with until they get too old and she tires of them. People should need a license to breed proving mental, physical and financial fitness before bringing an innocent life on the planet.

Disgusting and selfish, to be blunt. And the handles for those kids are going to be a burden to some of them for the rest of their lives. Absolutely sick.
