I just read an article and it really pissed me off. It's here if you want to read it. I'm throwing in my two cents on this one. I can't help it.
It's about Nadya Suleman. Who's that you ask. She is the woman that thought having 14 kids while you are single AND unemployed was a good idea.
First of all, there really needs to be an investigation. She was on disability because of a bad back BUT she can carry 8 babies at once. I've been pregnant 3 times and it killed my back. I can't even imagine what it feels like to carry 8.
Second, she says she's not on welfare BUT does receive food stamps. Am I missing something? Isn't that the same fucking thing? She stated that she used her disability money to pay for the in vitro. Shouldn't she have used that money to feed the 6 kids she already had? Just my opinion.
Third, they are requesting that Medi-Cal (the state medicaid program) pay for the 8 babies stay in the hospital. Isn't that welfare also? OK, I thought so. Like the working people of California don't have better things to do with their money.
Forth, somebody really needs to take a look at the Dr. that agreed to do in vitro fertilization on a single, unemployed, mother to 6. Maybe he can pay her medical bills. Seems fair to me.
Fifth, I didn't know you could get disability for a child that has ADHD. My niece was diagnosed with it and I know it's not an easy road for her or her parents but, disability? Really? Little Man is not considered disabled and he has diabetes. You know, a disease that can KILL him.
Sixth, she says she is going back to school to get her masters degree in counseling. I thought that was funny because I believe that she needs some serious counseling herself. Also, good for her on trying to further her education but who is going to pay to feed and clothe these children? Student loans my ass! It's the taxpayers paying for it.
And the last thing, NOW, she has up a website asking for donations to help her raise her 14 children. WTF! If you feel the need to go online and beg people for money to help you PROVIDE for your children, ummmm, you shouldn't have had that last litter. I'm sorry, calling them a litter was mean. It's not those children's fault that their mother is COMPLETELY INSANE! I really feel sorry for all of these children.
I don't get why someone would want so many kids but if you can support them and provide the love and attention they deserve, have at it. But if you can't, stay away from ANY and ALL sperm!
OK, my rant is over. I feel a little better now, don't you? If you disagree with me on this, I would be really interested to know why? If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.

I want to cry for the 8 new babies, all of them really, but especially the newest. I didn't think people went into the in vitro process expecting to keep every embryo that was implanted. Humans are not large enough to produce a litter of offspring the way other mammals do. A doctor on the Today show discussed this the other day, so I don't feel bad using the term litter.
I think that the state should put this mother through a battery of mental and emotional testing and once there is proof that she is crazy, those babies should be taken from her and given to any of the many couples that so eagerly want a child.
Maybe then they would be able to get the one-on-one attention that they are sure to need with all the medical problems the doctors have assured them to have.
GREAT rant! I'm not gonna click over to that article cuz she's been saying some nasty things about Infertiles...so for fear she'll totally piss me off, I'm gonna take your word on the article!
"she says she is going back to school to get her masters degree in counseling. I thought that was funny because I believe that she needs some serious counseling herself"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You are awesome!
LOL, I just noticed that I had one too many *'s in the title. Told ya I was pissed.
Meredith - I totally agree.
Yaya - Thank you. Also, I'm glad you don't live close to her because I know how red heads can get when they are pissed! ;)
This case is beyond shocking. It just seems like an incredibly irresponsible thing to do. I hope someone keeps close tabs on all of her children.
This whole story infuriates me to no end. She's obviously a mental case. There's just no other explanation. And the dr. does need to be checked out. Other in vitro docs have said that it's just unheard of to implant 8. Crazy. Just crazy.
Nope you are right on with this rant. The lady is obviously nuts...I feel bad for the kids.
Not only does she need a mental evaluation but she needs to stop trying to look like Angelina. Oh, and the state needs to STOP her money. She's not using it for the kids.
I am outraged at this case! This woman is off her rocker!
She says that she is providing for her kids by being there for them,hmmmm does that pay the bills? She was asked what her other 6 kids thought about the fact that she had 8 more. She said that if they were older and told her not to have them she wouldn't. So what happens when her kids are neglected because she can't take care of them all. I'm sure they will have something to say then.
Ohhhhhh don't get me started on welfare bullshit.
Welfare is meant for people who work their asses off and suddenly fall on hard times. Not to feed those that continue to have babies while knowing they can't afford it.
And I heard that they want to increase food stamps as part of the stimulus package. Uh, how bout helping those of us that already pay for their own friggin groceries.
K, I feel a LITTLE better now.
