‘Octomom’ may go on welfare to make ends meet
I’m sure the only reason that she is bringing this into the media is to get people to feel sorry for the kids and give her more free stuff.
She has a mortgage of $4000 per month? Someone is living waaaaaaaaaay over her means. Of course, she isn’t know for her good judgement. 
I’m just excited we found an example of the illusive species known as the “Welfare Queen”.
She better use growth hormones on those kids show she can rent them out as laborers at an earlier age.
I’m still on the lookout for the Cadillac-sheathed, Africanus variety which subsists on Porterhouse steaks and scrimps.
Out of curiosity, how much money does she stand to pull in a month with all those kids?
That depends on what the kiddie-pornographers and pedophiles are willing to pay.
Oh… perhaps you were referring to government assistance. I’m not aware of any government subsidies to support kiddie-pornographers and pedophiles.
Maybe she can use them as organ farms.
Perhaps the good doctor who helped her conceive would be willing to pay child support.
IIRC, when he was recently brought up on ethics charges, she defended him, and said something like, “and if I were to use his services again…”
:eek:
Can we ban ALL people who misuse fertility treatments and/or overbreed from the airwaves?
I would be delighted if I never heard from Jon or Kate let alone the Duggers (who are probably going to announce impending baby number 20 any day now? :rolleyes:)
Anyone famous solely for having too many children by any rational standard should not be allowed within ten miles of a television camera.
I second the motion.
She never seems to be short of food and I bet she smokes in private. She knows the public system will take care of those kids. She wants to go along. In the past, she was collecting a substantial monthly sum including disability on two kids I believe. The stardom cash may have made her ineligible and she wants to get back to normal. I don’t understand these women with eight kids including Kate. Who cares. Well, I guess many wish to watch the train wreck.
I have nothing but sympathy for her children. She couldn’t support the six she already had, and had already broken her parents financially. Now she’s got eight more that she can’t support. I’d bet money that they wind up in foster care.
It’s going to be a tough childhood for them, and I hope they make it through all right.
Her narcissistic ass, on the other hand, can wind up standing by a freeway off-ramp with a tin cup in her hand for all I care.
God willing, this TV fad shall also pass into the night, and some years from now we’ll be grateful that these shows are no longer on the air.
Eh, she’s still a better person than anyone on Glee.
Anyone who pimps their children out (one kid or Duggar +(n)) for reality tv at all should not be allowed within ten miles of a camera, and could probably use some assistance from the local child welfare team about learning the appropriate treatment of minors who have no legal rights of refusal to whatever famewhoreing their putative caregivers dream up.
You do know that “anyone on Glee” consists of actors playing fictional characters in fictional stories, whereas Octomom represents a real person who is making decisions that affect the real lives of real children (and her parents), right? So, it’s apples and oranges to compare the creation and depiction of characters on a TV show perhaps doing/being things you don’t like to someone who, in the wake of several very bad or, at the very least, iffy real-life decisions manages to get a TV show.
Or, were just trying to be oh-so-hip and counter-cultural and above it all?
Yes.
Nope, I was just hoping some humorless cretin like you would flip out like you did.
Sorry, guy, no flip-out. Try again.
Or, perhaps not. All over the SDMB today you’re sucking at this.
