Octuplet Mom Looks for TV Career as Child Expert

I so agree. Where is the children protection agency. This is a case that needs their attention, if there is no stable and secured foundation.

I think that she is insane along with the doctor who thought this was the right thing to do. He should be punished or maybe help pay the bills for these children who he is responsible for bringing into the world.. She has big problems mentally and needs alot of help!!! Unlike Jon and Kate they are a happily married couple who are responsible and emotionally stable, so she can not compare herself to them.

I STRONGLY believe that if the following is true:
1. Fertility physicians participated in this pregnancy;
2. The family is supporting this woman, and
3. This woman is receiving any type of city, state, or federal assistance,
the State of California should litigate against the physicians involved, the father or fathers, and the parents to retrieve at least some of the funds that we are paying for this irresponsible woman to have more children. If this woman has mental issues, shame on her parents, her physicians, and the father of these children by enabling this woman to continue to neglect of all these children. How can she be a full time student and carry a pregnancy with 8 fetuses and have 6 children.

ANYONE who pays this woman any amount of money will need their head examined. The sad part is that the children will be the ones to suffer. The dr. that implanted this woman also is nuts. I mean a single mom and now all these children, she needs her head examined also. Who will be paying for them??? WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THEM. This is insanity at its best.

Im just glad I dont live in California and have to foot the bill for this woman...This woman is crazy....It makes me angry that the Drs went on with the procedure....I will loose all respect for Oprah or any other talk show that even grants her an interview....I wouldnt even begin to take her advice on raising children..Its so sad...

I have a grandchild who was born weighing in at 1# 12oz...her bill for the 4 months of NICU care was close to $750,000...we had insurance thankfully but still had a large portion to pay ourselves...Any money this woman collects should be collected for the expenses of care and future care...Trust me she won't have a penny to herself after all the expenses come in...This is just a case of technology gone waaaay wrong...

Aren't there enough TV shows about people who feel the only way to become rich and famous is to pump out more kids than they could support otherwise.

This is not right.. How is she paying to have this all happen? Its hard today to bring up 1 or 2 kids wilh two parents working, never mind 6 or 14kids with no job... Iam so tired of paying for all these people who just want to have kids. Its not fair! Especially the medical bills are unreal, who is footing the bill for that? I hope, there is no tv show or book that will give her a dime for what she is doing. Times are tough right now for all of us who work 8-12 hrs a day to make ends meet..

tHAT IS CALLED breeding!

This is a very sick woman and should not be given any more publicity. She needs counseling and a hysterectomy. Shame on her for bringing these children she can not provide for into this world. The doctor who assisted her should have to support these children and even loose his license to practice medicine.

I agree with you. The children do need a real home. Where is children's services??? There is no way a single mother can take care of all these children. I raised my family and was a single mother. It was very hard and I depended on my parents. These poor grandparents hearts are broken. Their daughter is mentally ill and the doctors ingnored all signs. Now we have to support these babies and her. There should be laws against this. I feel sorry for these children. Someone should stop her and these doctors.

She is sick and needs help. Her parents need to have her committed. The babies need love and parents. Also a home that can support them! They need to be adopted. The DR. needs to go to jail! If you want a face lift or tummy tuck a REAL DR questions your reasoning! If you want 8 kids, have no husband, no career or money a QUACK says OK! Let''s go! ?? I think not! We live in SAD, SAD times.

Think about what you are saying, why are blaming the parents? she is a grown women, The parents are only quilty of loving her and hoping she would get better. What if she was your child. Hope for better days go with Love

I AGREE WITH YOU 100%

THANKYOU
LOVE

The responsibility lies not only with the mother, grandparents and doctors, but the media as well. It is the media that gives so much attention to women who CHOOSE to take fertility drugs and then give birth to litters of children. It is the media that create such a frenzy, because of the voyeuristic nature of the public. It is the media that gives these parents and children "celebrity status". It is the marketing machine that fall over themselves to get these kids under contracts for diapers, cars, and everything else that is sellable. Since the 1950’s with the Dion kids from Canada who were put in a virtual human zoo for publicity and display, our society is always looking for a new freak show.
Look at the media grappling to get the first pictures of the Jolie-Pitt kids, paying millions for the privilege. It is pathetic.

The only difference here is this woman took it one step further and is trying to make a deal on her own. She probably planned this whole thing just for the media attention and the possibility of the money she could make. Creating such media attention around planned, multiple births create people like Nadya who uses the system for her benefit.

20 years ago, I took fertility drugs and had 6 embryos, went ahead with my physicians suggestion and had a reduction to 2, as I was told the health problems would be staggering, It is not about pro life to me, it is about quality of life, and in the end gave birth to beautiful, healthy twins whom I have financially taken care. It was my responsibility to provide for my children, no one else’s.

These grandparents are enablers, they set no boundaries and by allowing their daughter to live with them as she procreates like a “bitch in heat”, they are giving their seal of approval to this mania. I see their bankruptcy as a scam as well. All their bills are washed away, and in comes state agencies with monthly checks to support these people. Do they even work? Can you imagine the welfare money they get every month for all those kids?
Let’s face it “full time student” really means “I do not work”.

I say if this woman wants a check every month she needs to get a job like the rest of us.

I support my 5 children and do not expect help from anyone. Giving birth is a choice that requires maturity and responsibility; hiding behind a pro-life banner does not put food on the table for your children. Nor is it an excuse to have more children than you can physically, emotionally or financially care for.
This woman needs to face the consequences of her actions. The media needs to stop, NO freebies, NO Oprah deal, NO interest whatsoever. Toss her back into obscurity where she belongs and set an example for others who may do this for the attention. These are children, not prized pooches! The public needs to ask themselves why are they so interested in watching a freak show.

I agree 100% with you. It is a sin and disgrace this woman and her husband who can NOT support the 6 children they had to purposely go out and have a LITTER of children. Not only are they using the children to make money on talk shows, it will be the rest of us paying for 14 children they can't support, feed and provide health care. Shame on the doctors for doing this! They are NOT supposed to be practicing medicine for fame but for the welfare of their patients. I guess they figured the parents not the unfortunate children would benefit. Well, I will not watch any show that promotes them exploiting these children. I have a 36 yr. old son who was 3.6 at birth and to this day still has complications with his lungs. No one was running around throwing money at us to help with his medical bills, etc. I say sterilize the parents and remove all 14 children from their money grubbing sick parents.

o my gosh, ok - r we serious here. the economy is fantasic, there are people who have no jobs and no money and 1 child to support...so this SINGLE moron after having 6 kids, decides getting pregnant is the way to go....and now - since your BROKE, you feel it's worth 2 million and a reality show...give me a break....some people are not deserving of ovaries....i hope your kids are taken away from you (i hate to say it, i have 2 boys myself) but a 2 bedroom apt. is not sufficient, and how far do you think 2 mil. is gonna get ya (p.s the only reason people "care" is because life sucks for you having 14 kids to take care of because at the end of the day we sleep at night, and your ass is up feeding and diapering and getting spit up on every minute WWOOHOOO now thats fun)...i would assume all ya really know is BABY - how r u going to manage 14 kids and your everyday life. rediculous, and OPRAH, why do you feed into this crap...whooooo cccccares...dont you think your weight fluctuaion got you enough rating and magazine sales, ets... etc... etc...I HOPE YOU HAD YOUR TUBES TIED IN MULTIPLE KNOTS AND GORILLA GLUED. i hope your kids make something of themselves and becomes stronger from their situation you - their mom - put them in, cause otherwise the neglect half of them will feel is so sad.

I agree with the user Edensfire. I too, am a mother of 3 children. I have been a single mom for a LONG time and let me tell you making all the decisions for just one of my children at any given time can be overwhelming. I CANNOT fathom having FOURTEEN children and being a single "full time student" which is code for UNEMPLOYED. I am appalled at this woman and her "parental advice' she seems so keen to sell to the highest bidder. My oldest child is 19 yrs old and let me tell you there is NO way I would take care of any children she happened to have and enable her to go out and have more! Where does it say that you're supposed to care for your children the rest of their lives? I say this is just as much her parent's fault as it is hers..they obviously are enablers to let it go this far.
