Somehow, I don't think a show is an option for her. Who'd watch? Not me. And who would want their product associated with what promises to be a spectacular train wreck?

Don't even get me started on college for that many kids.

I know that Jon and Kate Gosselin have said that because of the TV show, their books and speaking tours, they'll probably be able to send all 8 of their kids to college.

She'd better get to pitching a TV show and hope someone likes the idea, lol.


Just imagine how far 20 dollars will go 10 years from now when the first set reach puberty...heh!

Here is my question: What if out of all 14 of these kids NONE of them do anything spectacular with their lives or worse yet, repeat the mistakes of their mother?

Not that I wish ill upon them, but just the idea of having kids is to leave a part of yourself here after you are gone and hoping that they improve upon what you gave while you were here.


It's just something to think if none of these children wind up ill equipped to live up to a good potential due to their mom's obsession.

...maybe I am thinking too far out left field.

She is not Angelina Jolie. Angie can afford to take care of a village of kids. She earns money. This chick can not take care of 14 kids.

DS: not everyone has kids for that reason. Exhibit A: this crazy lady. She wanted something to fill up some "hole" she had as an only child. GET A DOG!! GET A JOB WORKING AT A DAYCARE!!!

I just saw the preview, and I'm pretty interested to see what Dr. Phil has to say about this chick. (It doesn't come on here until 5)

I love that she thinks that she won't be using tax payer money for her excessive breeding, but Kaiser is applying for reimbursement through Medi-Cal for the NICU stay of the octuplets. Each child's medical treatment will cost upwards of 1 million dollars. She's using more public funding than any welfare mom in the country! I also found an amusing picture of her fertility doctor ultrasounding her in 2006.http://news.aol.com/article/octuplet...suleman/328104 Any person with a little knowledge about ultrasound knows that he's using a vaginal probe on her abdomen. No one would ever use that probe for what he is doing. What an idiot!

That's an awesome photo. It looks like he's probing her belly button!

He obviously doesn't know what he is doing...I find it odd considering his profession. Not all doctors know what a vag probe is, but I would expect ALL OB-GYNs to know!

Just read this on yahoo...

LOS ANGELES – A big share of the financial burden of raising Nadya Suleman's 14 children could fall on the shoulders of California's taxpayers, compounding the public furor in a state already billions of dollars in the red.

Word of the public assistance has stoked the furor over Suleman's decision to have so many children by having embryos implanted in her womb.

On the Internet, bloggers rained insults on Suleman, calling her an "idiot," criticizing her decision to have more children when she couldn't afford the ones she had, and suggesting she be sterilized.

Hey thats us. LOL.

Whole article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090211/...e_us/octuplets

I also CANNOT believe that she set up a website for donations!!!!! I'm sorry if I'm going to donate money, it sure as hell won't be to her.

You know how she says she's going to "go back to school" as though that will take care of everything?

1) Who is going to watch those kids while she's at school? and
2) Who is going to watch those kids while she's at work (whenever that is)?

I might have misread it... Ann said something like "So you're maxed out on student loans and you are still having kids?" (It's in the MSNBC article ... she used "maxed out") She might not have met 'maxed out' literally?

Being pregnant seems to be her "addiction" of choice, like those who have any other type of addiction. However, in this case, it seems that her addiction leads to children that can neither fend, care, or be cared for themselves.
This is a sad state of affairs. How this woman would think that others wouldn't have "noticed" her actions and her inactions, I don't know. She needs to go into a psychiatric hospital for mental health evaluation and her children need further care.
It's obvious that the grandparents are at an end as to how much more they can take or to how much more they can do for themselves or the children.
It's unfortunate that her "fix" was the desire to get pregnant, but at this point, the state is going to have to be able and willing to step in.
