Comments on: Why Are We Rated PG? http://jeubfamily.com/2007/01/23/why-are-we-rated-pg/ Family, Children, Love, Jesus Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bonnie http://jeubfamily.com/2007/01/23/why-are-we-rated-pg/#comment-690 Bonnie Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:22:40 +0000 http://jeubfamily.com/2007/01/23/why-are-we-rated-pg/#comment-690 My husband and I met the Heppners at a MACHE convention about 15 years ago. We had 5 children at the time. We had never met anyone named Jemima before. My husband liked the name so well that he said if we ever had another girl we would name her Jemima. Our seventh child (third girl) is Jemima due to our having met the Heppners! Our Jemima has 4 younger sisters and a baby brother (yes, that makes 12). Our two oldest children are married and our first grandchild is due June 19, 2007. I was unable to see the whole program on the Heppners. Is there any possibility of the episode being aired again? ============================ We've been told that all the Kids by the Dozen episodes will be re-aired several times in the coming months/years. Check TLC's website for updates. ============================ My husband and I met the Heppners at a MACHE convention about 15 years ago. We had 5 children at the time.

WOW! My husband and I had a child before we were married. Almost 9 years ago. I think it's good to be honest about it. =) We have 6 children so far. I can't wait until we have a dozen! =) Jen - mama to 6 so far. My mother recorded your show so our children and I could watch it. WOW! My husband and I had a child before we were married.

I cant believe TLC are only making 3 episodes.. This should be regular show. I am a single mother of 4 children. I was also 15 and 19 when i gave birth. Still many people dont understand how i do it somethings.. (Teenage pregnancy/parenting ,feeding them, take them on vacation etc..) I would love to know however what Christams entails for a family so large.. We need more shows like this to give other people ideas on how to budget their money better.. cook for larger crowds etc.. People these days are spending way too much money on things What a great show.. I cant believe TLC are only making 3 episodes.. This should be regular show. I am a single mother of 4 children.

I was pregnant at 17 and unfortunately did not feel like I was strong enough emotionally to have a child at that young of an age. I had an abortion 11 weeks into the pregnancy. I really wish that I could have mustered up the courage to tell my parent's that I was pregnant. I know they would have at first been dissapointed but then love would have won out in the end. Life is such a precious gift from God - I'm only sorry that it took going through all of that for me to see it. I have not seen this on TLC yet but I will be looking out for it.

It warmed my heart so to see you start to reconnect with your oldest daughter. Everyone makes mistakes and it takes a big person to see past that and realize that they ARE NOT just their mistakes- they are still the people you love. I only have 4 children and am overwhelmed by laundry alone- so I am amazed at how you do it all! Thank you for sharing your story! And I want to come to the Birthday Bash! It looks like fun!
