I watched part of the interview with the octuplet mom last night...and the more I listened to her, the more disturbed I became....My burning question/concern is this....babies NEED their mothers nurturing, especially premies...how can one woman possibly nurture, hold, love, 8 babies? The answer is she can't....those babies are not going to thrive, they need way more attention than their mother is able to give them. Not only the babies, but her other children....CPS needs to step in and find other homes for at least 6 of those babies....also, she DID have plastic surgery to look like Angelina Jolie...look at the photos of her before all of this. The ones with her other SIX children...her lips are smaller AND her nose is bigger. This woman is delusional, she needs treatment!
Okay, I'm done now...had to get that off my chest! Anyone else care to comment?

I am with you. Every day something more disturbing comes out about this whole situation. How so many people, supposedly professionals and experts in their fields, could buy into this woman's fantasy is beyond me. It's time for CPS to come in and do the right thing (not that they can always be trusted to actually do the right thing).
ReplyDeleteYou are right, every time I turn around it gets more weird....the fact is, those babies are here, and they need more than one woman is able to give. And I agree that CPS doesn't always do the right thing, BUT the fact that this "story" is sooooooooo in the public, they really can't afford to screw this one up. Thanks for your comment :)
ReplyDeleteI totaly agree. The woman doesn't parent the children she already had. That was done by her mother. The same mother she complained about raising her in a manner that she did not like.
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT POINT, Frieda! There are so many variables in this story...I just can't think of them all! LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, it is really sad that the home environment does not seem to be a healthy one for these babies. I am appalled at the dr or drs who went along with all of the in vitro fertilization when she already had so many kids. I thought that was mostly for people who were having lots of trouble conceiving. Think of all the people who are trying so hard to have ONE baby. The thing is that CPS can't really step in unless the kids are being abused or neglected and regardless of our opinions, that hasn't really been demonstrated (yet). CPS is always in a bind with being damned if they do and damned if they don't, you know? If they remove people's kids without sufficient cause, everyone's in an uproar but if they wait too long and something bad happens, they are vilified for not acting sooner. I wouldn't want their job!! Back to the mom, I do think she needs psychological help. It seems that she is using all of these babies to meet her own needs and has something missing in her own life that she thinks they will fill. I think it is a sad situation for all of them, even the mom, who must have some serious issues going on.
ReplyDeletethose children stand to lose a lot of the good parentling they need and deserve

Think she craves attention (and money)much ??

The entire situation is DISGUSTING !!!
I am so not interested in babies that I have not even paid attention to this, but after reading your post I did listen to some news about it. I agree she has some issues she should have worked out before having children. But, its too late for that now. She's 14 deep and has the rest of her life to consider her actions. I just hope the children, all 14 of them, don't suffer too much.
ReplyDeleteThat's the whole point, Alena!....it's the babies who are going to suffer..how can they not? Like I said before, the babies are here now, too late to intervene on that. I don't care if this mother is WONDERWOMAN! One woman (wonder or not) CANNOT take care of 8 babies, not to mention her other 6....the state is going to have to intervene and place some of those babies &/or children with foster parents...that's the sad truth of it all.
ReplyDeleteThe woman is disturbed. Ive heard enough that it makes me glad I am not one of her kids. Selfish woman probably only had the octuplets to sell her story and make some money. The doctor or doctors who were involved should lose their license.
