In following the footsteps of the popular reality show of 'Jon & Kate Plus 8,' the TLC network is showcasing yet another large family with a show called 'Sextuplets Take New York.'
Similar to Jon and Kate's family, the new reality-based TV show stars a Latino family, the Carpios, with two parents and their seven kids. The cameras follow the family's mealtimes and play-times around the hectic city of New York.
Implications - It's hard to look at a video like this and not imagine the weight, stress, and dismay placed on the shoulder's of parents like this, but it also hammers home the importance of parental love. This kind of selflessness is rare.
