I had to get a psych eval before I had gastric bypass surgery. I feel like the Dr is as much to blame as her. She is obviously not capable of making sound decisions. She has been victimized by the Drs who allowed this.

Girl on their part it came down to the almighty dollar. They got paid and didn't care one whit. I think any sort of fertility procedure or major medical procedure should have counseling. When I wanted my tubes tied after my son (who was my 3rd child) the Dr. had to counsel me to see if I was in the right frame of mind to do the procedure.

Nah that is a fat pregnancy nose. Some folks when they get preggers (I am one of them) their face is the first thing that starts getting fat. That nose is from being pregnant. Not sure what to make of the lips.

I think if you look at large families and the number of addicts that come from them, it is not going to exceed the number of addicts that come from small families, especially not in the case of both parents being around. Same thing with felons. You go to a prison and most of those people there did not grow up in large families with both parents around. I do not think it is fair to assume that children that grow up in large families are more apt to become addicts and criminals or that they will lack attention. I think that is a completely unfounded assumption.
I'm just going to not read this thread anymore. Obviously it is full of a lot of unfounded opinions and people with control issues.

Come on now. Let's wake up and smell the coffee!! Where to start......I am the 9th of 10 children and I know first hand what it was like fighting for attention...ANY attention. My Dad worked too many hours and my Mom was exhausted. There is NO WAY one person can give the care and attention needed to 14 children all by herself.

I AM one of the welfare Mom's that all you tax payers are paying for. Out of necessity. Not want. Believe it! I have a severely disabled 15 year old son. He is autistic, epileptic and is fed 24/7 via a gastric pump. Understand I'm not complaining one bit. He IS my life. I knew when he was 10 months old that he had issues and had my tubes tied. Having a child on the "spectrum", how can you honestly say that she could care for all 14?? Why in hell did she want more children. She already had 6 and one autistic. Not only will that child not get the attention he will desperately need, but there is a good chance that others may also be on the spectrum. Genetically that's a fact. THAT is what's got me upset.

Incredibly selfish!!! I can only hope and pray that Child Protective Services does a thorough investigation before allowing those prescious babies to go home with her.

One more thing. She CHOSE to have the babies and live off the system. Not fair to the taxpayer OR my son. We are on the system out of necessity. As of Jan/09 many of his medications and supplies are no longer paid for by the "system". I can barely get by on the $900 we get a month and have to ask family to pay for things. So yes, myself and taxpayer absolutely have the right to be pissed!

Okay...I'll get off my soap box

I was one of 5 and I know it's hard to get all the attention you need or should I say want.

Honey as you said you are on there out of necessity. I have no issues with that. But when it comes to people scamming the system that really works my nerves. It's horrible that she can take advantage and it makes it harder for folks like yourself that really should have the help.

I know in the case of my two friends that have autistic sons they refused to have more children for fear that it would happen again. Obviously she has no such thought function. Hopefully by the grace of god those babies won't suffer from any genetic or other ailments due to her selfish reasoning.

Too bad that didn't happen before she brought 8 more innocent babies into the world.

My niece is expecting twins (naturally) in a few weeks. She lives in the Boston area. Her daycare alone is going to be over $400 a WEEK!!

I too believe she is mentally ill. Just seeing a tad of her interview this morning showed me that she's not in tune with reality. So sad.

Doubt she will be able to find a daycare that can take on that many infants at once. They have a limit of toddlers and babies that they can have per adult in the place. So she will definitely be paying out the patootie. In NY for an infant it's $250 a week per child. When they are potty trained it goes down to like $175.

I'm not a taxpayer anymore. I'm a taker and couldn't agree with you more. I actually got sick to my stomach reading this thread. She CHOSE to have those babies without a care of how they would be taken care of. Yet my son, who so desperately needs the help is getting cut.

All we can do is hope and pray CPS steps in. Not just for the 8, but all 14

BTW...kudos to your friends. They have their hearts and priorities where they need to be. Just my opinion of course...........

I agree and it's very obvious that she's had a nose job too. I truly believe that she did it for money and she will get it before it's over through various deals. This whole case is nuts!

From a cost stance honestly it's way better for everyone including the tax payers if your at home with your son in this case. The cost of all the round the clock care and attention your son would need if you were working definitely would cost way more than the small check your getting.

I want to see what she will do when her money gets cut even further as the economy is in such a state. I think in her case and the case of folks trying that stupidity to get over they should get a max amount. If you choose to keep having children then your kind of a$$ out because you will only be given so much help. It's a hard line because while we despise her stupidity and selfishness we wouldn't want to see the babies without and hungry.

Part of her greed is not going to get her anywhere. I was reading that usually by the time they deliver and word gets out companies will jump on the bandwagon for the free publicity. She is getting no such offers from the diaper companies or the baby food companies or even stores. Everyone is pinching pennies and they said they think many companies don't want to be associated with her because of the public outcry about the situation.

Thank you for your honesty. The same thing crossed my mind about having even more special needs children. It' bound to happen with the number and weights of these little ones. My daughter has three children and the last was born with multiple and some rare birth defects. I have witnessed first hand what it takes to tend to their daughters needs and the two other children pay a price for it. Ainsley is also tube fed and has a trach and numerous other medical issues that need to be dealt with. I know what it takes financially as well as emotionallly to care for them. I hope you have no guilt in being taken care of by the system as you are doing something so important in caring for you child. Many years ago they were place in institutions and we all know they do not receive the love and care they need. I admire anyone who can do what you are doing for your son. We all know what it takes to take of a child with special needs and this woman put herself and these children at a very high risk. For the children's sake, I hope I'm wrong and they will all be healthy!!!

When you live at home with your parents with six children and no support then that is a problem.

I don't think that anyone in this thread said that you have to have a husband and live in your own house. There are times when family dynamics change due to divorce or death but trying to singly raise six children is not a one person job and then to add another eight is a bit much. If she were ok financially I am sure she wouldn't be living at home with her parents.

True!!!! Did you know that her parents only have 3 bedrooms!!!! The doctor is being investigated, and may face charges. Why would he do this, knowing her situation. Single + 6 kids + 8 babies + a strong probably of some special needs infants / kids + very little education + unable to live on her own = WELFARE!!!!!! We pay for her stupidity. Her children are the innocent victims.

I think the big lips are from the swelling and weight gain from pregnancy, time will tell.
