My sister in law "Jen" has a doctorate in education, but doesn't do a damn thing with it although she has $30,000 in school loans. Instead, all she does is have babies. She is pregnant with her 7th child right now! All her kids are 10 to 11 mos apart. Her husband is work full time, plus two part-time jobs to support them all. I don't know how he has time to get her knocked up.

Jen just sits at home and lets babysitters take care of the older kids while she breastfeeds or waits for the next brat to be born. Her last 4 preganancies, she's been on bedrest for the last two trimesters. She has a day duty private nurse in case she needs something, but everyone in the family is expected to run dumb errands for her. My husband and his other siblings spend hours every week doing things that she could do without. She called me at work one day to ask me to buy her a box of Popeye's chicken so the babysitter wouldn't have to cook dinner. I told her to call Dominoes.

I'm also sick of having to go to a baby shower for Jen every year. I don't think someone should have a shower 7 times. She doesn't save anything from the last baby, but the crib. As soon as the kid out grows a piece of clothes, she throws it out. Last week, she sent me a note telling me that she was registered at Target. It told her that I already got the baby a present. Then I went on the internet and made arrangements to have a star named after the baby.

My in-laws are exhausted trying to help her. That's why they pay for the nurse and babysitter. They've joked that they don't have any more room on their wall for grandkids' pictures. When my other sister-in-law gave birth to her second child, she had her tubes tied and Jen said she felt sorry for her.

Meanwhile, they're living like pigs, 3 kids in a queen sized bed and 3 cribs in the upstairs hallway. Only three are toilet trained so there are pissy diapers everywhere. She's on her second babysitter because the first one refused to come to work until she cleaned up the house.

They drive a nasty minivan that has roaches living in it from all the cookie crumbs and french fries the kids have dropped. Once, they left a baby in the supermarket and didn't notice until they got home.

I think CPS should sterilize her.
