I haven’t seen any threads about it, but I may have overlooked them.
I’ve only followed the story lightly, catching bits of it on the news at a time, but this woman, Nadya Suleman, that just had octuplets…she already had 6 kids, and her mother is apparently caring for them in a 3 bedroom house.
Now sh has 8 more babies, and as far as I understand it, only because she really likes children I guess. She was interviewed on TV a few nights ago and I only caught a portion of it. Its only my opinion but I think this woman is nuts. Even if she were rolling in dough I’d think she was a bit crazy, but considering that her family is getting food stamps I think she’s being reckless and irresponsible. 14 kids…hell, thats a lot of kids.
I may be in the minority here, but I think Suleman is off her rocker. I just hope the babies get the care and attention they need.
Do you want people to play Internet shrinks? I doubt you’d get a reliable diagnosis from someone who has never met the woman and whose total of information of the case comes from CNN’s section of odd stories.
Everyday all across the USA hundreds or thousands of children are born to single welfare mothers with no realistic chance of ever being able to support them. So what so different in principle with this particular women, except the uniqueness of having eight of them simultaneously?
Didn’t she do an interview on TV where she said she was severely depressed, especially because at first she couldn’t conceive, and having children was some kind of way to make here life meaningful? So I think by her own admission, a little bit of crazy, I’d say.
Please stop giving this psycho any more attention. She sold the story right for something like $2,000,000. That’s why she did it - for the money. And, paying her attention is exactly what she wants.
Since she’s on food stamps, tax payers have to feed her anyway. At least with a movie deal, her financial burden can be offloaded on to the people who pay to watch that sort of tripe.
Looking at her and listening to her creeps me out. She’s just kinda creepy. I think anyone who wants 14 kids is nuts but that’s because the idea horrifies me! I can barely handle the two I have!
I think having fertility treatments and 8 more babies when you’re supporting 6 existing children on welfare and foodstamps is incredibly short sighted and certainly displays an air of entitlement. I can’t imagine the dr. agreeing to it. Maybe he gets a cut of the $2M.
This statement doesn’t stand up to logical analysis for half a second. We’re supposed to believe that she took fertility treatments with the goal of having octuplets? Having fertility treatments doesn’t normally lead to octuplets. In fact, prior to this case, there was no case of octuplets all surviving. Hence’s it’s laughable to suppose that she took fertility treatments in order to have octuplets and make money off them.
There is zero evidence that she suffers any sort of mental problem.
The real question should be how fit of a mother is she? 6 kids, now 8 more, and she is on food stamps. It’s child abuse and the kids should be taken away and given a fair chance.
A vagina is not a clown car.
My issue isn’t so much with the actual pregnancies, but just how does she manage to scrimp together the funds for the conceptions? IVF is damned expensive, and she’s had SEVERAL rounds of it. Did her parents knowingly fund the IVF? If so, then some of the responsibility is theirs. Did the Dr. in question know she her situation? Apparently. It’s a fascinating case study.
Well if she got $2 million, I guess she’s set for life and will have no financial obstacles to giving the children a good life. If she is now financial independent, why is it any different than when various superstars, like Madonna, Angelina Jolie or Mia Farrow trawl the world for babies to adopt. Also I guess she didn’t plan on having eight babies. Perhaps she though one or two would be nice, but was against abortion and so went with the eight.
It isn’t? I actually kind of like to think it is. Anyway, her vagina, her choice.
I think both sets of kids were born by Caesarean section.
I think she’s irresponsible at best. Having another eight kids when you’re already on welfare support for the first six is quite selfishly idiotic. Did she stop to think what sort of a life she was giving them while chasing her own fulfilment in a large family? Bah. People. They make me angry.
