The Octuplet Mom

[Ash]

Most of you have heard of this crazy woman giving birth to 8 babies recently.

I was curious to know your thoughts on this.

I think she's got serious psychological problems.  Heck, even her own mother doesn't think too highly of her.
And what's up with her face?  She's definitely had plastic surgery.  Where did she get the money for that?  Several news articles have stated that she looks like Angelina Jolie but I don't see the resemblance.  I think she's uglier than a dog.
Her home is a shambles.  It's too small for her previous 6 kids, let alone 8 more!
She's received several death threats already.  I can see people getting mad about this, but issuing death threats doesn't do any good.

A bad situation all around.
What do you think should be done with the babies?  Should they be taken away from her?
How about the guy who implanted her with the embryos?  What should be done to him?

What do you think?

[Mr. DS]

I think she's a certified whack-a-do who's probably looking to cash in on some reality show or book deal.  That and she is rumored to have an unhealthy obession with Angelina Jolie.  Seeing Angelina seems to be out to adopt the world and give birth to many of the fruits of Brad  Pitt's loins I can almost buy that.  However, Bradgelina have more money than god...this chick is unemployed and a single mom, not a good start.  Not saying an unemployed, single mom can't raise kids but SHE ALREADY HAD SIX OF THEM!!!  No sane person would pop a six pack of embryos into themselves.  If she likes kids so much, perhaps she should worked at a daycare.   

The doctor, IMHO, is a quack who should have his license revoked.  Maybe the media should focus on this aspect down more than the mother herself. 

However, let me say there is no reason for death threats.  People who do that are idiotic and don't know how to direct their anger.  Most of all, they're usually full of sh*t.  Still, it puts people in a scary situation they don't need to be in.  No matter how idiotic they are such as this girl. 

I feel for the kids...I really do.  As a parent, I can say kids need a lot of attention.  I doubt her litter will ever get the attention they really need.

EDIT
This article is about her interview the other night.  Read her repsonses and tell me its that of a sane person.

We do not mention this woman in our home for fear my wife will begin to rant again about her. I try to avoid all news cast about this story when my wife is in the room because she will go on for hours in outrage over the whole thing.

So long as your wife's saying "That woman is insane!" and not "Why can't YOU fertilize me like that?" you should be happy.  Your wife appears to have good taste in outrage.

Just her outrage goes overboard. We are talking Nancy Grace style outrage.

Your wife must be a very caring person.  All the women I know (myself included) are outraged by this person and her actions.  Anyone who cares about the children has to be outraged.  Loudly.

Regular outrage is OK, but Nancy Grace level of outrage is scary and annoying after a while.

Even Dr. Phil has weighed in on this issue in two of his recent shows.

And...

I know that some of you hate Dr. Phil, but he makes some good points.

That woman is a basket case.   I feel sorry for her kids.

[Jack]

I just don't get it.  I mean, there are all kinds of babies being born addicted to crack, etc. etc., yet the media decides that this woman and her 14 kids are worthy of massive attention.  I've known families with ten kids, of course there were two parents and they were employed, but I just don't see this as being especially newsworthy.  Weird and perhaps headed towards a bad end?  Yes.  But not 1/10th as bad as a lot of other stuff that goes on every day.

Joan Crawford outrage would be great.  "NO...EIGHT...BABIES!"

[Raffine]

Her plastic surgeon may have been going for an "Angelina Jolie" but it came out more like a "Mickey Rourke".

[ghouck]

They were talking about her being on Welfare, but she didn't consider food stamps and SSI for some of her older kids welfare. I read somewhere that he kids on SSI were OK, it sounded more like "retarded mom syndrome"

I think she did it to make Chinese women jealous.
