— -- With eight kids, you'd think former reality TV star Kate Gosselin would be far too occupied to think about being a grandmother one day.

But that's not the case.

"Six of my kids could have babies in the same year – I could essentially have sextuplets all over again," Gosselin, 41, told People magazine.

Gosselin's oldest, a set of twins, are 15 years old. The sextuplets are now 12.

Aside from having an even fuller house, Gosselin told People she looks forward to tackling her grandma duties differently than how she handled motherhood.

"I did my uptight parenting thing," she said. "I can't wait to be the grandparent who is older and wiser, and who is able to swoop in and out, and offer advice and be more laid back."

But for now, like any mother, Gosselin's biggest concern is her children's happiness.

"I hope they realize the mistakes I made were because I love them and I was doing the best I could," she said. "I hope they have careers they're passionate about. I hope they marry someone they truly, deeply love."
