This case has it all: complete medical irresponsaibility, a mother who is unemployed and obviously mentally ill, a litter of premature babies who will have God -only -knows what physical and developmental anomalies, 6 other children (one who is autistic) who have been (no doubt) neglected, an Iraqi grandfather who is already planning to fly the coop--undoubtedly without his daughter (who needs to find a nice, roomy shoe to take up residence in), a frazzled grandmother who is probabally going to be suicidal, and a bankrupt state which will (no doubt) be expected to pick up the tab!!!! Pass out the cigars!!!
That actually would make a great country song. Maybe Kelly Pickler could pick it up! lol
Even if she did try and breast feed... it takes about 20 minutes per nipple, so that is 40 minutes per baby, that would be about 5-6 hours of continual breast feeding. I am glad to see she not only has a degree in counseling but also fine knowledge in 1st grade math. Babies who are breast fed eat every 3 hours. Hummmm wonder how she is going to do that??!! They better suck fast! Would anyone even have that much milk?!
Well, I just hope the mother looks like the goddess Artemis of Ephesus:
...omg - this is so wrong on so many levels. I agree with an earlier poster, if Oprah has her on her show - everyone should NOT watch her, I don't watch her anyway - I think she is an egomaniac - can't stand her, anyway, that's a different thread...
...they should've sewed that dang thing shut - while they were at it, her mouth too - don't want to hear anything she has to say...14 kidz.....next she'll be on People magazine

"I guess every form of refuge has its price"...
I think it is physically impossible for one woman to breastfeed 8 babies, even with pumping.
When I nursed my newborn son- It took me about 40 minutes to nurse him and he was up every 1-2 hours at first.So 8 babies would take about 2-1/2 hours to nurse, 2 at a time, and then the first ones would pretty much be ready to eat when the last ones are done. Pumping could help, but she would have to be set up non-stop pumping.
Does not sound like a plan to me...

They are currently being fed donated breast milk and a network of women willing to lactate and donate breastmilk has been established.
Two of my clients, Kimberly Clark and P&G have already contacted her to offer donations for endorsement and image licenses of pampers, wet ones, huggies etc.
Clearly this woman has serious problems and clearly some members of the medical community lacked the ethics and the spine to say no.
This is disturbing on so many levels. How much time do you think her two year old will get from her now much less the other kids?
Her Mom made it clear in her press statements that she is leaving as soon as the woman gets home from the hospital. Just like the poster here that did the simple math on breast feeding lets do the same thing for diapering, bathing just the 8, dressing them and doing laundry.
I get 2 hours per day for diapering, 2 hours for dressing and undressing them, 2 hours for bath time and 3 loads of laundry for the family per day at 30 minutes to sort, do and fold.
That is 6.5 hours per day without feeding them, taking care of the other kids, cooking, cleaning, paying bills, Doctor visits and shopping.
I hope that the state where she lives allows online sign-ups for welfare, section 8 and foodstamps or where will she find the time to even show up and apply?
I am being satcastic here but I know plenty of families with both parents and single parents that are struggling mightily to stay independent, care for their families, teach some sort of values for work and responsibility in times where jobs just are not to be had.
To see this woman sucking up far more than her share when she is not using it as a safety net but rather as a God given expectation to support her chosen lifestyle and neurosis.
The state should take the kids until she gets a job and comes up with a non-public assistance means to support them. Which I suspect would be never.
How frigging irresponsible!

I, too, am hoping Social Services steps in and gives these babies to a loving family who can provide appropriate love and care. I know it'll never happen though
She is just so selfish. She aint thinking bout any1 but herself. Just because there is no frozen sperm left I dont think that will stop her having more.
Anyone want to take a bet on how many she will have in the end?
Maybe she should just move in with the Duggars. Michelle can teach her some time management skills.
This story just boggles my mind, I am very glad I do not live in the state of California, and be forced to support these children she brought into the world.
Shano....That is an excellent Idea! LOL!! Not that I approve in this day and age of even having 18 kids....But at least the Duggars are married and work as a team. Their kids seem to be well adjusted(as far as we know). AND the Duggars do take financially care of themselves. Sure they have a TV Show, but my guess is they would do a fairly good job of it even without the Entertainment industry.
This woman with the Octuplets is not going to be able to work outside the home with fourteen children(one with Autism). It is just mindboggling that she was able to pull this off with all the so-call proffesionals helping her along. Really, makes one want to throw up there hands........ I hope the CPS watches her like a HAWK!
I agree Nicki. The Duggars have always had a plan to support and raise a large family.
This woman seems to act on whims.
Wanna see my grandkids?
Her parents were already taking care of the last six (wrong!) and now she has "whelped" eight more!
I keep thinking of all the "qualified" couples out there who would love to adopt these babies.
Looks like we will be footing the bill AGAIN.
Here is a new article. Blehhh.
Friends defend mother of octuplets

Obviously this is what she meant by breast feeding. There is no way in hell she could do it.They are currently being fed donated breast milk and a network of women willing to lactate and donate breastmilk has been established.
Every damned doctor involved in this should have their licenses pulled. She should have been psych evaled the moment she walked through the clinic doors.
She is obviously being enabled. I wouldn't be surprised if this was some variation of munchausen's. All about the attention.
And as vomit worthy as I find the Gosselins and the Duggers; two big differences: I think both families have their kids best interest at heart. As odious as I find their tv deals, I doubt a few days a week will damage their children for life, and I think they're providing for their future in a shrewd way. They also contributed to society at some point in their lives. This girl is a human sponge. And the mother thing, enabling her.... I'm getting chills, reminds me of the women Anne Rule ends up writing about.
This story makes me violent. Speaking as someone familiar with veterinary medicine, Spay her like the bitch she obviously is.

She's hired a PR Firm to help her review her financial opportunities. http://www.kgan.com/template/inews_w...kgan.com.shtml
If it wouldn't be at the expense of those poor kids, I'd like to see her get zero offers, especially any book or TV deals.
Since Ms. Suleman has zero dollars, I guess the PR firm is working pro bono in hopes they'll get paid for finding her the right media outlet to exploit her irresponsibility.

Was I hearing things?? I caught a snippet on the news this morning that the sperm donor was a co-worker/friend?? Am I trippin?? This asshat needs to cough up money to care for these little darlings if that's true. He's just as irresponsible..Anonomous donor my ass!!!
I'm trippin balls over the fact that she used money from a settlement to have these 8 kids! Seriously!? You couldn't have used this money to support the other 6 kids that need your attention too, dumbass?
Edited to Add: this was my 400th post! Woot!

Greeaaat. Let's reward her for her sluttery.
Octuplets mom gets TV, book offers to tell story
By JOHN ROGERS, Associated Press Writer John Rogers, Associated Press Writer Mon Feb 2, 7:20 pm ET
LOS ANGELES â?? The mother of the world's longest-living octuplets is being deluged with offers for book deals, TV shows and other business proposals, but has not decided what she might do other than care for her children, her newly hired spokeswoman said Monday.
Hundreds of requests have been made since Nadya Suleman gave birth to six boys and two girls a week ago, said Joann Killeen, president of Killeen Furtney Group, a public relations company.
"She's the most sought after mom in the world right now," Killeen said. "Everyone wants to talk to her."
But Suleman, who remained hospitalized with her children Monday at Kaiser Permanente's Bellflower Medical Center, hasn't decided what she'll do next, Killeen said.
Some of the deals and requests for interviews involve offers to pay, said Killeen and her partner, Mike Furtney. They didn't reveal the amounts being offered, but Killeen noted that raising eight babies will be expensive, adding that Suleman plans to carefully review her financial opportunities.
"Right now her top priority is to be the best mom she can be to all her children," she said. "She's hired us to manage all of those opportunities."
The spokeswoman discounted some published reports that Suleman had already decided to host a television show on parenting. But she added that Suleman does want to eventually tell her story to the world.
"As soon as she's able, she will tell her story, and it's an amazing story," she said.
Suleman, a 33-year-old single mother, already had six children, ages 2 to 7 when she gave birth to her octuplets on Jan. 26.
Her babies continue to grow stronger, the hospital said in a statement Monday. It wasn't immediately known when the octuplets or their mother would be released from the hospital. At the time of the births, doctors said the babies would stay about two months.
"This has been a very good week for the babies. It is always satisfying to be able to see a baby that was born premature continue to get stronger every day," said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at the hospital.
In seven other documented octuplet births, at least one of the babies died within a week. The world's first live octuplets, born in 1967 in Mexico City, all died within 14 hours.
The first set of U.S. octuplets was born to Nkem Chukwu of Texas on Dec. 20, 1998. A week later, the tiniest infant died of heart and lung failure. The surviving seven siblings celebrated their 10th birthday in December.
Suleman retained the Killeen Furtney Group to represent her last Friday. Furtney said the company, which normally handles corporate clients and crisis public relations, was referred to her by the hospital. Its clients include the Union Pacific Railroad and the California State Parks Department.
Suleman's mother told The Associated Press last week that her daughter has always loved children and had wanted to be a mother since her teens.
Suleman had all 14 of her children through in vitro fertilization, according to her mother, Angela Suleman, who is caring for the other six while her daughter is hospitalized.

"I will be buried in a spring loaded casket filled with confetti, and a future archaeologist will have one awesome day at work."
SERIOUSLY!
Her spokeswomen said on TV this morning that they have not received and book deals or any such "offers" yet, but what got me is that she kept repeating that over and over, No we have not received any offers yet, hint hint. Fishing for cash and prizes, milking this for all it's worth (no pun intended).

what a friggin' irresponsible person. so so stupid. i hope oprah doesn't give it.
Oh she will, she has a friggen stack-o-cash this is like a dime for her
THIS JUST IN!!! HERE IS THE SPERM DONOR!!!
Oh, hell NO ! Hopefully Oprah has more sense ( or people that do !) than to put this beyotch on TV !
I agree, you have babies because you want them, not to use them for money, this bitch is an attention whore. I really hope Oprah can see right through her like so many of us can. I just can't fathom someone doing this just for the money, but it does take all kinds.
That's just great!!! Isn't Cali the state that is forcing it's state employees to take 2 days off per month unpaid cause of their financial crisis?
The neo-natal care these babies are gonna need is gonna run into the tens of millions of dollars!!
Too bad the state can't tell her to f*ck off, she did it to herself, she's gotta pay for it herself!!!!
Should this be merged?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
oh man what a stupid woman...I hope she gets NOTHING
How on earth would you raise 14 kids, all under 7? How could anyone short of a millionaire afford it? And why in the hell would you WANT to? My God I would have to skip names and just number them.
The most dangerous woman of all is the one who refuses to rely on your sword to save her because she carries her own.

If I found out that I was the father I might have to throw myself down a flight of stairs......or an elevator shaft for that matter.
[quote=cachluv;643318]---Maybe so she could remain Mommy and Daddy's little girl while having her own lifelike dolls to play with too? In a giant playhouse that Mommy and Daddy provide?
If she got married, then she would have to be an adult to her husband. He would probably look out for her, instead of her parents.
I wonder if she'll stay single now?[/quote]
My bet is she will never marry. Seriously, who wants to marry a crazy woman with 14 kids?
Like it or not, I bet the Opera show pays her that 2 million and I bet more every stay at home Mom in America watches that episode.
