I'm not one to judge others without knowing them/all the facts, but this one burned me!!! I watched the announcements of the Octuplets being born, and thought; well it must have happened due to follicle stimulation because no Dr. would do invitro with 8 or more embryos. Yesterday I watched as the experts gave their opinions with the same conclusion I came to. There was no way any of them would have done invitro with that many eggs and they would turn someone away who wanted that, so they also felt it must have been egg stimulation that caused this.

Now this morning I learn that the mother, who is currently living at home with her mother, already has six children (we know nothing about the father)!!!! And here's the kicker...it WAS invitro!!!! Holy Cow!!! I get that there are crazy people out there, so I'm writing the mom off as nuts, but what the heck happened to regulating and having rules about ethics for this for the Drs.??!! What's next...cloning? Know that I have family members and friends that have been helped by fertility specialists, so I know the benefit in using one, but this guy crossed the line. Just MO.

I read somewhere that she got a work comp settlement from hurting her back, and she's been living off that. Plus she's been on disability for a long time. She needs to give those babies up to someone who can take care of them and really wants them.

I bet her parents, the ones that she has dissed, are on the hook for them.

Omg, it just keeps getting weirder. I was trying to look up her settlement amount (I think I heard it was only about $170,000), and I found this new tidbit:

Okay, apprently not a settlement:

Among other things, the documents reveal that Suleman collected more than $165,000 in disability payments between 2002 and 2008 for an injury she said left her in near-constant pain and helped end her marriage.

I've got to wonder what multiple births does to her back and lower extremeties. :cursing:

Ok, I would like to know how she got that much for disablility. I got it for a back injury once, and it sure wasn't even close to that! This story just keeps getting weirder.

I cannot wait to see the entire video on NightLine tomorrow night. They are suppose to show pictures of all the new babies.

I wonder how much money she is getting for appearing on that show?

There are pictures and a video of the babies on msn now.

OK, I'm watching the Today Show right now and Ann Curry is doing a follow up to the portion of her interview with the mom where the mom said she was not on welfare or using any help from the government and that she has been supporting the original six with help from her family and church.

Liar...Ann's follow up; they found out that she has been getting almost $500 in food stamps per month and three of the original 6 children are receiving additional federal assistance for disabilities.

Oh good lord... that's not WELFARE in her book??

What I loved is how she said she was taking care of her kids, she didn't take welfare and didn't feel comfortable accepting help, yet family and church are doing just that. So not only is she psycho, she's a liar. :thumbdown:

the grandmother gave an interview to radar.com and she said that he octomom has been gone from the 6 kids for 2 months. the house is filthy and they are living in 2 rooms. the grandma is po'd.
