Default The Octuplets lady

What are you thoughts on this lady with the 8 newborns and the 6 other kids at home that her mother takes care of? This lady is on food stamps and 8 kids and she is saying she'll take care of all 14 kids.. I think she's a loser myself, she did it for the money and publicity

your thoughts?

i can't judge the lady, but i can target the stupid doctor who made it for the advertising... having a perfect delivery of 8, wow for the reputation... but he forgot about the details, and THAT... is the important thing to focus on...

I don't think her intentions were for fame and making money from the start but implanting 6 eggs were 4 took and the other two eggs produced twins couldn't have been foreseen. She seems to be milking it now though, Judging from her interview she seems to be focusing on college, maybe she should have been thinking of getting her academic credentials first.

She seems like a disturbed young woman who is oblivious to everyone's feelings and skepticism apart from her own. It's all me me me and not what's best for the children. I stated this in the other thread about this woman. A child need a father figure in their life and she gave no thought in this and how it would impact the children long term.

My verdict: Selfish +++++, who needs to get her head out of her arse and think whats best for the children who will grow up with a mentally unstable mother figure.

Well she said that she wanted to have a big family because she was a only child and didn't get enough attention...that doesn't really make any sense. At least to me haha -- If you have 14 kids how are you going to give them all attention? Oh and go to school and raise them yourself? Sorry I don't get it.

She said that she wont take any money from the government to help pay for the kids. But she is on food stamps and 2 of her older kids are disabled and get money every month. -- isn't that kinda taking money from the government? --Don't get it..

When asked how she was going to support (feed, cloth...) all her children, she said that she would be there to hold them and to be there with them all the time. What she left out was that she plans to go to full time school ASAP. -- How does she plan to actually be there all the time to hold them and be with them all the time then? Don't get it..

I think that all her children should be taken from her and she should be placed in a home because she is insane.

Plus was the question ever raised how she ever paid for $100k+ implanting of the eggs each time? Who payed for it? Us? Her?

My view is this :

If she is able to afford to bring the kids up without state benefit then its none of our business.
But if the state has to step in and pay then my view is :

Why would a woman want 8 kids in one go - its just not right.She has not done all this alone and has recieved medical help so some burden should go on them as well.Make them responsible and pay for them and it will soon stop.

Good question. Where did the money come from to pay for the implants, I'm sure she never paid the full amount? More to the point, I'm betting with the success rate of the eggs taking and producing 8 kids there will be many mothers who will be more than willing to pay a pretty penny to take up the services of the organization that performed this procedure.

Another question. Who'll be looking after these kids when she swans off to college/university? Her parents? child minders funded by the state?

I agree, but I don't think it'll end up that way.
