Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

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.

Yea, she even looked like a freak. And another thing, she's been getting disability for a long time from a back injury. So she is probably on Medicaid, which means we paid for her to deliver all those kids.

no doubt.

i just now saw the interview - i'm not sure she would have passed the psychological to get the lap band, let alone be a candidate for IVF. she doesn't seem quite there..

Hehe, excellent analogy.

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to own a pet rock, much less an animal. Of course these same people usually have kids too

Wow, talk about yer Angelina Jolie clone. I suspect she did this because she has a crush on Angelina Jolie, the great white baby goddess.... Her lips could suck the chrome off a trailor hitch, as my mate would say. lol

Her comments indicate that she lives in la-la land and that she has no real comprehension of just how difficult and challenging raising kiddies can be; you need bucks to be able do this. And she is planning on going to back to school in order to get her master's degree. This is going to be very time consuming and difficult. My niece is a single mum of one kid with a special learning need (dyslexia) and was going to university. She had a very difficult time getting through. I had to help her write her papers. (I am not maternal and so I don't do children, eh. lol) Her father helped her out financially.

She seems to think that her love will conquer all. She also seems to think that folks are against her because she is a single mum, and not because she already has 6 other brats to raise and not much cash with which to do it. Ugh! She is just the sort of dimwit that Green longs to give a smack behind the ears to.

"I'll be able to afford them once I'm done with school," yet she claims not to be on Welfare and never has been.

And her master's degree? In counseling. Omg...

You can see her on Dateline this Tuesday.

Yep, that lo-rent-Angelina is completely out to lunch on planet 9. Those docs she has been hanging out with should have been bringing out their butterfly nets instead of the implant-a-fertilized egg apparatus, eh. Silly them, they deserve a smack.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing, she must be in love with Angelina! She sure has the lips! Except hers look terrible and Angelina's are real!

Personally I think they deserve more than a smack. I'm hoping somebody loses a license over this.

If she takes one penny of the taxpayers' money to raise those brats of hers, then I think that the taxpayers should engage in a class action lawsuit against the doctors who were responsible.

Fantastic idea!

I still admit I'm a bit confused. She is not on welfare nor does she intend to, yet she says she will be able to afford to raise them once she gets her degree. Uh... how is she affording them NOW?

Green, I love it when you post! LOL!

I heard on the news last night that she's spending 45 minutes holding each of her new babies. That's about 6 hrs a day. So. What about her other 6? There is just not enough time in the day for 14 children under the age of 7!!!! Kids that young need a lot of time and attention. Different if they're all different ages and some are older. I don't know how Jon & Kate do it and there's TWO of them and "ONLY" 8!!

Heck, I have a hard time sometimes! I've got a DD who'll be 3 this spring. A DH who's a fireman and gone for a 72hr shift each week (and that doesn't include fire season when he can be gone for weeks on end!). I have NO help so it's just me and DD when he's gone. Right now she's sick, not been sleeping well and I'm TIRED!!! I'm not complaining (much!:cursing:). I signed up for this when we brought her home from the hospital at 2 days old. BUT just looking at my situation, where I have a husband part of the week and am "single" (so to speak) part of the week, I just can't see how she is going to manage this esp as a single mom.

What about when the kids are sick? The older ones are going to be bringing all kinds of bugs home from school and those preemies are going to catch everything! What happens when SHE's sick and can hardly think, let alone function? I just don't see it!

Speaking of DD, she's actually hungry! Better go feed her before she changes her mind! LOL!

Have a great day everyone!
