For people saying the children slave for them, I think it's great that they're doing jobs for their parents who have to look after them and feed them every day.

a lot of boys in a row! wow i dont know where she gets all that energy but she is a great mom to each and every child.

like they dont need 15 suitcases for 3 days, especially when half the clothes are for little ones. my family has 4 full grown people, and we would only need 1 suitcase for 3 days, i bet half the suitcases are jim bobs hair spray! :P

@carissproductions The parents have to feed them and look after them because they chose to have them. I'm not saying a child should have no responsibilities but they shouldn't have to take care of there siblings, they would have to clean up after themselves.

@cathrine1990 I'm on buses all the time. I've never been on one that had seat belts.

@cathrine1990 Your welcome.

[cathrine1990]

@misswhitegrape0225 THANK YOU!

[cathrine1990]

@PotterMarauder Clearly you've not been on a bus lately. And if there's no seatbelts on the buses where you live, I really hope everyone on the buses stays safe!

[cathrine1990]

@headstrong777ism YES! Of course I do. They are installed for a reason! I'm assuming you don't and I'm sure the day the bus crashes and you go flying you'll regret it! Clearly this isn't a good enough motivator for you though so maybe the ticket you'd get next time there's a control on the bus will change your mind! xx

@cathrine1990 I am horrified by there lack of safety too. Look at the boy at 8:17. His chest clip is too low and 1 of the straps has fallen off of his shoulder. The chest clip should be put at armpit/nipple level and the straps should be tight enough that you can't pinch them. If his straps were tight enough they wouldn't be falling off his shoulders.

@cathrine1990 you don't wear seatbelts on a bus XD

the more i watch this it is as if this woman keeps getting pregnant to avoid the responsibility of being a mother
