Why the hell would a woman with six kids take fertility meds?
 
Leaches

Some people get out of bed, go to work, act sensibly and lead constructive, contributing lives. They don't seek the spotlight. They live with their pain. They live with their joy. They value being part of the solution or at least part of the stability. They have reasonable goals. They try to budget. They help. You know, like my children.

And then some people......
 
Our Tax Dollars at Work

Hey, any Californians out there who have the data to know [leaving aside the Medi-Caid (or Medi-Cal or whatever) for the health costs] -- to give us an idea about how much of a monthly check she was receiving for the first 6 and how much she will get for this litter? Maybe her mother keeps her around for the checks.
 
The fact is that she's plain irresponsible...fertility drugs after 6 children?? That's just plain dangerous. What doctor would do such a thing?
 
I think the mother has serious psychological issues. Single and already with 6 kids and she takes fertility drugs? I lump her in the same category as women (it's never men) who end up with like 92 cats in their house. It's an addiction like any other, IMO. Perhaps 8 new babies at once will cure her. And if these are all going to be welfare babies, then EVERYONE should be outraged. Her behavior is nothing short of criminally irresponsible. Somehow I get the feeling I won't be a bit surprised by information regarding her cultural background and immigration status when it's finally divulged.
 
Women desperately need something to love and nurture (read: control); without it they say they feel "empty".

So as I keep saying fill it up with concrete.

So many kids may be a sign that something is very seriously mentally wrong or lacking. (How much "love" do you need to give and get, already?) EVERYONE needs to be needed, but this is ridiculous.

In my little subculture one's moods, thoughts, impulses and feelings need to be controlled if one is to say they are civilized. The rider controls the horse. Not the other way around.
 
14 kids!

I can't imagine how it could be a great thing to have that many kids and live at home with your parents! How could anyone support all those kids? I'm glad I am gay.
 
What I am wondering

is how on earth she found a fertility clinic willing to a, implant the fertilized ova and, b, willing to implant at least eight eggs - two, at most - would be the standard for a woman of her age and with known reproductive success.

In other words, this smells strongly of a publicity stunt.

Grampaw is going back to work as a contractor in Iraq to earn money to help feed the 14.

A good friend of mine always breast feeds. She can manage one child's feedings continuously for one year without difficulty. For two newborns (twins) at once, she had serious problems with tender breasts and keeping her nutrition up to the requirements. She says her situation is fairly typical and one reason why fertility goes down substantially in the first months of lactation - mother nature gave humans gigantic boobs and dicks, but they don't put out any more, er, dairy products then those simians less well equipped.

Personally, I am rooting for the kids to all make it. That is perhaps the worst aspect of this whole mess - those birthrates were not only way too low in all cases, there is also documented, hard evidence that too low birth weight and substantial health and mental health problems are directly correlated.
 
The rest of the story...

Came across this:

"Monlogic reports, after speaking with a neighbor, that the eight babies may have been conceived by sperm donor:

What we learned is that her whole neighborhood is buzzing about the possibility that the 33-year-old mother used the same sperm donor to conceive the octuplets AND her other six children.

In an exclusive interview with momlogic one neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, revealed that the very pregnant young mom was THE hot topic of conversation at the neighborhood Christmas party. He says "From what I heard she likes kids, she wants a jillion kids. She even lied to the doctors who impregnated her."

When asked if he knew who the father of the baby is, the neighbor said, "She is single. She used a sperm donor, someone she knew, who donated sperm a long time ago. He donated the sperm for the first six kids and she used his frozen sperm for these one."

PREVIOUSLY:
More news about the mother of the octuplets born in California. She was recently bankrupt and conceived through IVF. The mother is in her mid-30s, and as the world learned Thursday, already had six older children. Her name has not been released.

She lives with her parents in a 2-3 bedroom house, and a year-and-a-half ago the family declared bankruptcy and abandoned another home. She conceived the babies through IVF, which doesn't normally transfer more than 2 embryos, and all eight embryos took.

There is no mention or information about the babies' father or where she got the fertility treatment. When she arrived at the hospital where she gave birth for prenatal treatment, she was already 3 months pregnant.

The babies grandfather is reportedly going back to Iraq to earn money for the doubled family.

What is wrong with that woman? I heard on the news that public sentiment is not going in her direction, and I don't blame them.

Ralph, I totally agree with your comment on this subject.

And Toggles:

So as I keep saying fill it up with concrete.

And make sure you sew it shut after the concrete job....

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

You owe me a new keyboard, Steve ;)
 
Glad she is going for her masters' in counselling - she is going to need it. Perhaps she should analyze herself and save some $$. And just whom will be supporting this brood anyway?

Just when I thought I couldn't hear anything more bizarre... I would have DCS all over that woman - something just isn't right there
