For the second time in two years, an Argentine teenager has given birth to female triplets, BBC News reports.
The 16-year-old, who goes only by the name of Pamela, first gave birth to triplets at the age of 15.

8 months into #8? You’re allowed to be as intolerant and emotional as you please! All the best to you :)
And given the number of deaths from childbirth in the 1700’s that is truly amazing.
“Some Argentines are arguing that perhaps what Pamela needs is more advice on contraception.”
Ya think?
I had my first at age 20 - had been married for 2 years when he was born. 2nd son was born 5 years later. I’m 41, H is 44, and we’ve been married for 23 years. Oldest one in college and works pt, youngest halfway through HS. Both are terrific kids. Quite honestly, although there were years when they were little that were lean and hard, I wouldn’t have it any other way. And I’m really glad right now, that I’m not dealing with toddlers, lol. I don’t think my energy level would quite keep up. I’m grateful though, that it wasn’t mandated that I wait 10 more years before having my first.
Someone needs to explain to the man/men involved, how to put on a condom.
But birth control is a sin.
</sarcasm>
Wow
oh yeah...the energy level is definitely different now!
There are pros and cons to both the pregnancy at 21 vs. the pregnancy at 39.
I absolutely had more energy back then, and keeping up with toddlers was no sweat back then.
Lack of energy is a problem now - but I also know what is worth getting worked up over, and what isn’t worth getting worked up over.
I’m definitely not as anal retentive as I was in my 20’s. We’re more laid back now.
The children of this family not only are the supreme good of God's creation, but will be a joy to their parents, a treasure to society, a generous gift to their culture, and the wealth of their country for generations to come.
For that we are all obliged to him and his good wife, and should be tremendously grateful.
And as for the taxes, the gol-durn wallet-snatching taxes, the almighty everlasting taxes? Geez, give the guy a break.
The bigger and more intrusive the government is, the more it makes what otherwise might be normal and decent people into icy calculators of the miniscule differences in Big Brother's collections and distributions. (This is, I believe, an intentional outcome.)
"Conservatives" think that apparently exemplary parents shouldn't have a large family, because then they pay less in taxes than they would if they had fewer children ...
Makes me want to go out to US74 and frisk in the semi-truck traffic.
I guess I'll take the cash. I'm feeling pretty good about my soul, although if I'm out in the late afternoon, I'll stop by Confession anyway :-).
Had enough snow yet? My brother in Moscow, PA, says they're well-supplied!
BTW, Tax-chick, FR's precious, perspicacious and parous paragon: go parse some Greek or make a pie or read novels & eat bon-bons. Some days that's just what you gotta do.
Cheers!
LOL!
We took the Offspring to the library in the next county (for which we pay a substantial annual user fee, lest anyone think they’re subsidizing our reading matter.)
I got a biography of Edith Wharton which will keep me happy for several days. Cheers!
May I suggest where he can stick his cigar, and what he can do with it afterward?
Somebody should teach her parent or parents about their duty to protect their minor child from rape. Though wait... it’s apparently profitable to the granma. Which turns it into a kind of daugher-trafficking. Poor daughter. Poor grandkids.
It's called marriage.
