Octuplet Birth...... While children are a blessing this situation kind of gets my back up. The lady that had these babies already has six at home, doesn't seem to be employed nor is there any mention of a husband/spouse. She lives at home with her parents with the current six children. First off can you tell me why anyone that was able to conceive six children naturally needed to have fertility treatment. The biggest question of all of this is who is footing the bill for her current six and the new eight. I am sorry but is it any wonder why things are a mess financially. She had to have some sort of aid with those children, someone (most likely us the tax payers) will be footing the bill for the new set and all the medical costs that are associated with their prenatal and postnatal care. Ok there is my frustrated rant for the day. I can't imagine how much financial help she needs and will be asking for. I work and have three children and I know it's expensive as hell...so you multiply that four times and the cost is just astronomical. OCTUPLET-HAVING SINGLE MOM HAS 6 KIDS ALREADY - New York Post |
I was just reading that & thinking the same things!!!!! :eek:Kay |
I have three children (12, 9 and 4) and mine drive me nuts and push me to bankrupt with their needs (not wants) so go figure trying to take care of all those children then adding a new batch to that. |
I'm sorry,that is just too selfish. I just hope she finally decides that 14 is enough! and yes, someone needs to obviously play reproductive police with people like this, they are playing reproductive advocaters, for lack of a better description. jmo. |
Aside from the financial aspect how do you give each of them the time they need. I work full time and have three and I swear sometimes I feel so bad because there is not enough hours in the day. Thankfully I have hubby for back up to tag team and do what has to be done for them. |
I don't see it any different then The family with 17 & counting. You can't judge unless you know the whole story Maybe her family is Rich. Just because she chose to have more than 4 kid's doesn't give anyone the right to judge her. Who says you have to have a husband & live in your own house to have children. JMO |

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. |

I TOTALLY AGREE with you!!!! I was kind of peeved hearing about this too. What kind of doctor would do IVF on a woman who already has 6 kids?? This situation is sooo wrong. It definately puts my back up too. :( |
I totally understand not wanting to get rid of any of the fetuses. That I wouldn't be able to do. But to have six already and look to add to that number is a bit much. I am curious to know how old this mom is..all the reports state that she is young. With six kids ranging between 2-7 she must have been having back to back babies. |
Well, from my own experience, growing in a family of 9 was not easy. We were financially challenged but we always had food on the table and clothes on our backs--be it hand me downs. It always seemed as though I missed out on a lot because by the time I came along, my mother was tired and my older siblings were basically my caretakers. There is just so many hours in a day and a person can only do so much. again, jmo. |
Wow, I just read that too... you know to tell you the truth I would love to have 5 or 6 kids , but it was NOT financially posible for me and my husband. so we stop at 3. right now we are paying for my daughters college and is VERY expensive.. my oldest son join the marines thank to that he is on the road to be a VET, do this people think about this kids education, clothes and support for the next 18 years... ??? wow, six at home and now 8 more... crazy if you ask me..LOL hugs, Carmen in nj |
:eek: WOW :eek: Thats all im going to say :) |
A young mother with six children already, having fetuses implanted? What next?? :eek: |
I read an article on CNN that stated she has a husband who does contract work and will be heading out to Iraq soon. I too feel that this lady had no business receiveing any type of fertility treatments. All the other kids are under the age of 7!!! |
