Ok. I know this isn't political, or a life changing event... but I can't help but comment on the entire circus.
First... I completely agree with you all. She is nuts. She is all about the money. Period. But here's my beef. As I was watching the interview with her, Ann Curry comes off with this comment about one thing people are worried about is that number of children growing up without a father.... that children need a father. Bla Bla Bla. Well, being a single mom that struck a cord with me. Does Ann Curry have any IDEA how many children in America are growing up without fathers?? Over 40%. There are also a boat load of statistics out there saying how detrimental it is for a child to grow up without a father, but some of us single mothers have no other choice. My child is growing up without a father in her daily life, and she is going to be just fine. No one is giving me grief over it. And that shouldn't be a grievance on the plate with Octo Mom either.
Second, her being single being such a big deal. WHY?? Ok... so she has 14 kids... but in my mind adding a man in the mix doesn't make it any less CRAZY to have that many children!! What... the sudden appearance of the "super dad" figure makes it affordable to buy a million and two diapers?? The addition of one adult would offset all the additional children's needs?? One extra income would allow them to send all 14 children to college so they'll have a chance in this world? I don't think so!! Most women that I know with children do it all anyway. Yet these happy little married "couples" that have BROODs of 8 or 14 or even 18 are placed on a pedestal?? Their families are "miracles" or "gifts from god" and they get their own TV shows so we can share in the abundance of joy these children bring them. No one gives them crap for deciding to procreate that many times. But they are JUST AS CRAZY AS SHE IS!! Single or married, it's nuts to have that many children in today's world.
My theory on Octo Moms situation??? She was married. She couldn't have kids. Her and the hubby went and had some embryos concocted. As a couple, they had a few babies. One invetro procedure costs $20,000 or more, so he must have had some dough. Its common to insert two or more embryos to save money because there's a high risk that the body will reject the foreign embryo and absorb it. Well... after a few kids... Mr. Sperm bank leaves her. Well.... here's the kicker. She still has embryos frozen from HIM. His DNA. He's the daddy. What do you want to bet... she gets child support from him. The more of those little embryos she hatches the more she can take it to his ass. It's probably a revenge deal on him and she just decided to cash in on the craziness of it all with the media.

Hey!! Just read your blog....I think she was divorced before she had any kids. I don't think the sperm donor was her hubby was it? How do you feel about her mom and dad who are divorced but living together to take care of HER kids and they can't even afford their house and are over 27000 behind in mtg payments? and her dad who has worked hard all of his life and only wanted to retire and enjoy life has to go back to work as a subcontractor in Iraq to support all these kids? She is totally nuts. I don't think the issue is that she's single I think the issue is that there are a lot of well deserving women out there who cannot have kids and can't afford IVF but here she is with kids getting federal state assistance, living off of students loans without even going to school and she has more. She said she didnt' want the embryos destroyed....why not let unfortunate couples adopt her emnbryos.....her kids are going to end up in state custody, then foster care, then adopted out anyway.....I think the doctor that implanted her after she already had six should have to support all the kids instead of the taxpayers.
on a better note, like your blog!!
Ok so I have to say my issue with her is that i feel she is selfish. For one she is the single mom of 6 kids and that is fine. Then she decided with no income other than what the goverment was paying her through foodstamps and disabilty payment. She didn't have a plan in place to bring any of the children home. She is about to loose the home she rents from her mom because it is about to be foreclosed on. I feel that whether she is single or not is irrelavent. The problem is she has lied, and is being way to politically correct. She admitted in an interview I saw of her yesterday that she told her mom she was having a tumor grow not babies. COME ON.... She has no way to take care of 14 kids. I am glad she wants to love these children but as they get older they get more expensive. I am sad that these kids are brought into a poverty level situation. I am sad that the state is aware that she cannot take care of them. At $10,000 a pop to be inseminated how is she paying for it??? She is just irresponsible. The fact that she is single and has no income and little to no support is what saddens me. She has brought a great burden onto many.
That is just my opinion on the situation.
It was just announced that she is not being allowed to bring any of the kids home from the hospital because she has no money, no housing and no transportation to bring them home. Why didn't she think all this through?
