But What About the Parents?
After all their eight children went out of the house, Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey are the definitions of empty nesters. According to an interview given to NBC about all of their children leaving home, the couple said that even though it is now more comfortable because they don’t have to prepare food for 10 or worry about grocery shopping for everyone, it is far more difficult to handle the situation because they fear for each of their children and don’t have the opportunity to see them every day to see how they are doing.
Bobbi continues her work as a para-educator for children with special needs and continues to attend church. According to his social media profiles, Kenny McCaughey enjoys life as an empty nester by riding around the United States on his motorcycle. Moreover, who could blame him? After 20 years of rearing his children, he enjoys life more than ever because he has lots of free time on his hands. Both parents continued to give interviews and participate in anti-abortion and anti-selective reduction rallies.

Even though the family has received propositions to take part in a reality show, then decided not to go this route. When asked why there has never been a reality TV show about the septuplets and their nothing but ordinary life, their father replies that he had no interest in doing that because he wanted to offer his children the opportunity to grow up as normally as possible under the circumstances.
