Here is the latest on it..an interview from Grandma Grandma: Octuplets mom obsessed with having kids - Yahoo! News Seems that all her children were conceived via IVF. She has been obsessed with having children since she was a teenager. Her mom said she wanted to be a school teacher and that didn't work out so she made up for it by having her own children. All the children were from a Sperm Donor and it seems that one of the children is Autistic. Her mom said she told her to not have anymore children and said as soon as her daughter is out of the hospital she is gone and she can't expect any help from her. She said the daughter was supposed to have counseling. So my guess is that it's her father that will be returning to Iraq to work to help her support the children. Seems someone had asked her how she could afford to have the IVF done and she said she is "paid to do it". It also seems the reason that she wanted all the extra eggs implanted is because it was going to be the last time she did it and didn't want any of her eggs to be destroyed. Her mom says that she is 33 and a student...currently working on her Masters if I remember correctly. No mention of a job. So now we know how the cookie crumbles. It's not gossip or heresay as all the information came from her mom. I have to tell you having an autistic child is like having four children right there. I have two very good friends with Autistic sons and with all the extra time and energy they have to put into their care for both medical and learning issues they have both opted to not have other children. So I really am not sure how she manages or will manage with a child that is Autistic and 13 other children...especially with 8 of them being the same age. |

My second oldest has autism along with a genetic disorder, and my 4th has a heart condition. Doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to have more children. I don't think anyone knows "how she will do it". Sometimes you just take things day by day. I don't like how it all went down with her having all the kids, but it isn't my business. Since she has such a strong desire to be a mother of many children, I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt that she is going to try her best to be a good mother. I see a ton of people with one or 2 kids that I think shouldn't be parents. I see parents on here say things that make me think they shouldn't be allowed to have more kids, but that isn't my decision to make. |
She is crazy! That's all I know! I have NOOOOOOOOO problem whatsoever if a family (or a single person, for that matter) wants 14 kids! But to be so irresponsible about the whole thing is just RIDICULOUS! Everyone has pretty much stated my opinion, but if you can't support your family, then stop! What a shame :thumbdown I truly feel sorry for her mother and father and for ALL 14 of those children. It really sounds like she has a true OBSESSION about having kids (not taking care of them...) UGH...some people...... |

I hope there is more to this story and it turns out better than it is appearing, but I have a feeling this woman is a loon..... |
I just think it is irresponsible to have children if you cannot afford to take care of them. I think it is wrong to have more children if you are living with your parents with no job or means to take care of them on your own. How can a single mom raise 14 children on her own? I think if what the mom said is true, she has a mental disorder that should have been addressed. Doctors should have looked into her mental state and financial situation. The children are whats important now. I hope they are taken care of. But I do not want my tax dollars paying for their care. We have our own children to raise we should not be responsible for somebody else's children. I know people in my community that have kids just to get welfare. It needs to stop! |

Now in this lady's situation she has relied on her family for help and her mom seems to be done with the siuation. Her poor dad has to go to work in a dangerous area so he can help her support her children....why should he have to do that. If she wants to make them then she better be able to support them. Autism is a broad spectrum issue but you can't tell me that your child that has Autism doesn't need extra attention. That is all that I was trying to say. I see just how much extra attention my friends need to give with their child's learning and medical issues. |
It's great you have chosen to have your six and possibly more with your spouse. Your fortunate that you are able to be a stay at home mom and raise your children. Would you have been able to have and raise six and then fourteen children on your own ...no I don't think so. Would you have been able to have six if you hadn't been an at home mom. Can you imagine all the endless work you do in a day with your children and having to add a full time job to that to care for them. So in this economy your sitution is very fortunate. I do not know what your husband does for a living nor what you household situation is (your business not mine) but could you sustain such a large household if your husband were to become ill, laid off or incapacitated in any way. I think unless your well set that is a hard thing to accomplish. So in this lady's case where there seems to be no visible means of support and she is a student there is something wrong. |

I have heard so many young girls, say that they take care of their kids. I have to ask, if they are taking care of their kids, why don't they take a look at what you can offer them before you have them? Take a look at where it is that they are before decide to have babies. Are you in a place that gives that child/children the best start in life? the best advantages-not financial but emotional support. If someone wants to have babies, then so be it, but as most have said on this thread, I don't want to fund someone who has no regard for the welfare of their children first and foremost. |

This sickens me......... maybe the mental state of this woman needs to be evaluated. |
I quit watching the news, so didn't know anything about this until my hubby told me about the birth. I told him I suppose they'll have they'll have their own TV show some day. This is totally nuts! I don't care what anyone says...there is no way one can raise 14 children and give those children what they need and I'm not talking of material things. I also don't think it's right to have so many kids, that the older ones have to parent the younger ones. I like to see kids be able to be kids. I feel very bad for that mother's parents and those innocent children. It should not be up to the government to raise them, but I'm sure that's what it will come down to. They will also need help in taking care of them...with 6 children and add 8 newborns...it will be nonstop feedings and changings. Is she planning to just leave that all up to her Mom while she's off to school. This is ridiculous! |

The old saying was it takes a village to raise a child in this case it really will take a village to help her raise that brood. She is either going to have to hit the lotto or be very wealthy to have support in rearing these children or she will have to rely on the generosity of her neighbors and other church members to help her get through the times. With John and Kate plus 8 they had rotating shifts of people from their church that first year to help them because there was no way they could do it on their own and she was a stay at home mom. The kids are now four I think and she still has help to come in and they need a cleaning lady to come once a week to help out. So there is no way that lady is doing it all on her own. Other folks will be necessary. In the case of the Duggar family they tend to associate with people of the same religious faith and same mind set of having large families. If you have someone that lives out in the mainstream that we do think of how those children would feel if they were the kids that never had any of the things that other kids have...not speaking of luxury items...things like a bike or whatever like that. |

I'm just wondering if this doctor is in kahoots with her. If she's not married, I'm sure we're already supporting her 6 children, and now we'll be paying the hospital bills for these 8 also. I'm sick of paying for all the ones on welfare (when they are able to work). Maybe this Dr said I'll do this and we'll split all the money that you make off of them. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that think just like that. She wants 8 kids, she can have them, and she can get a job and take care of them like we took care of our own |
I just read another report that her Mother confirmed that her daughter is divorced and all the children are a result of the same sperm donor. She said she is obsessed with children and just wanted one more daughter. Again if someone is financially secure and can provide a stable, loving home and take care of a large family, bless them! Someone who is living with her parents in a 1500sq ft. home, has filed bankruptcy, lost homes to foreclosure, isn't married and is "obsessed" with having children, gives alot of reason for concern! I know I can't control where my tax dollars go, except to vote, but I can still darn well say that it makes me angry and sick to think of my money going to a woman like this! All of the poverty in this country, all the illness, etc... and tax money going to support someone who is totally irresponsible, if it turns out she ends up getting ANY public assistance, just blows my mind! |

In reference to if a mother get devote adequate time to 14 children- in this case no way. 6 young children and 8 newborns? Um, yeah right. Mindirose since you keep talking about your children do you think you could give them the kind of attention you want to and that they deserve and also properly take care of 8 newborns? It seems apparent that the money is isn't there in this case either. I've never heard of anyone getting paid for IVF.:confused: Why would she get paid for it while so many other women have to pay a small fortune? |
Every day I go to work and see my tax dollar working.....dead beat parents leaving us, the taxpayers, footing the bill. The children pay dearly for their parent's lack of ethics. There are definitely times that government support is necessary. Example: I am sick at heart for those who have lost their jobs and are having difficulty finding another. Those who are ill need our support. But too much of it is going to dead-beats and leaving little for those who truly need it. Heard a news report not too long ago that said that it won't be too long before 50% of US citizens will be footing the US budget. Not good. No wonder we are paying 33% income tax. Well, actually it went down to 28% during this last administration. |
This woman should have been spayed years ago. |

This is something that I really don't understand either. I am sure that the clinic this was done at will be investigated. It sounds FISHY. |
this happened not too far from us... 45 min or so.. it is ALL over the news... the WHOLE situation is RIDICULOUS, in my opinion!!! :thumbdown:thumbdown ALREADY having SIX kids.. then HAVING 8!!!!!! :eek: and NOT "naturally" ;) i am in NO way opposed to treatments, etc. for people who have a hard time getting pregnant.... i think that is GREAT actually!! :) BUT, THIS situation.... :rolleyes: not so much!!!! :thumbdown |
There was a news update on this subject.. here is the shortcut Mother of octuplets had all her 14 children by IVF - Telegraph Looks like the Mom IS on welfare (according to this news clip)....... makes you really excited to have your income taxes done this year, huh???? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: |
I read on another forum that Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC's chief medical editor, said this will cost the taxpayers $3 million in hospital bills. |
I think the whole thing is sad.:mad: She can not afford to have all of these children! I wonder if the story of her dad is true? Why can't he find a job here in the US? Does anyone else wonder about the mother's mental status? Maybe someone should be looking into the children's welfare. Why hasn't the mother shown her face? There is something not right about this whole story! My Dh and I have only four children...because this is what we can "afford" Children are very expensive; clothing, food, doctors bills, orthodonist, college!! I think there is a huge difference between this "lady" and John and Kate. John and Kate are a married couple that where looking to have one more baby. They were not in anyway... setting out to be a reality TV show and to get any free items!! They are just normal people... trying to make it through! |
Octuplets’ mother wants Oprah to turn her into a $2m TV star Here is another news clip.......... Octuplets’ mother wants Oprah to turn her into a $2m TV star - Times Online looks like I might not be watching Oprah anymore if she PAYS for this women to be on her show. |

I really hope they will investigate this woman before all these babies come home. I would be really concerned about her on so many levels! |
