Oh boy! She has more eggs on ice. If she is not going to have anymore babies, why doesn't she donate those eggs to someone who can't have children? I have so many friends who would love to have a child but can't. One couple spent a couple of years with the process of adoption to only deal with a mother who decided she didn't want to give up her baby. Then it took them two more years to finally finish with the adoption of a child from China. That was a very exhausting and heart wrenching process which really pushed them to the edge from where they are still trying to recover. They would love to have one more but are doubting that they can do all of that again. If not for the end results (a loving child), they definitely wouldn't put themselves through that.
Or she could dispose of the eggs if she is against donating them. She states that the reason she couldn't dispose of the eggs is because they are living babies (or something like that). She has more eggs ON ICE!!! She says she is going to keep them frozen... why??? For more babies I'm sure. Just wait.
And yes, she is selfish. My husband and I wanted more children, but since we are thinking adults, we decided that since we were older (I had my first child at 37 years old) and I wanted to stay home with our child (I was a latch key child) and that probably wouldn't be possible with more than one. I also had the issue of older eggs and possible complications (i.e.- Down's Syndrome). We spent the first five years of our marriage thinking about all of this. She should have been happy with six children (or less). The fact that she is on disability (Workman's Comp?) and can't work didn't cross her mind? The fact that she doesn't have a home for the first six didn't cross her mind? The fact that she doesn't have a husband to help with the finances (she chose to have these children artificially... it wasn't an oops). And I understand that she received a settlement from Workman's Comp and it didn't go towards buying a house or food or medical for her six children.... it went to producing more children (for her ego) and possibly plastic surgery (for her again... me stuff). I have gone without eating so that my child could eat. YOU SACRIFICE FOR YOUR CHILDREN!!!! And she just doesn't get it.
I am glad that the eight (and additional six children) are healthy. But I think the eight babies would be happy and healthier with another family that would be able to provide financial, physical and moral support and unconditional love to the babies. A family member of ours gave up three of her four boys because she knew she couldn't care for all of them. She was a single mother (divorced). This was in the early sixties before widespread birth control and welfare (public assistance). She has since reconnected with them as adults.
I don't mean to be harsh but someone needs to be. What makes anyone think that she can care for all of those children? Even with help. My sister-in-law had twins at 40 and she is a REALLY ORGANIZED person. It was hard for her. She joined a twins club (multiple birth club) and most of those mothers are VERY, VERY FOCUSED AND ORGANIZED. The club provides lots of support to each other (emotional and moral support) and everyone pitches in with fund raisers and consignment sales for the club. For an organized person (my sister-in-law is very focused and always plans ahead) it is very hard. Nadya doesn't seem to have that. She can have all the love in the world but that won't be enough. Wake up and smell the roses... it won't be pretty.
"Outrageous, irresponsible and completely out of touch with reality" are just a few comments being said about Nadya Suleman, the single mother of six who recently gave birth to octuplets in California. In a daytime exclusive interview, Dr. Phil addresses the questions the public wants to know. Hear how she ended up with 14 babies, how she plans to take care of them, and if there be more children. And, Dr. Phil shares his thoughts of the single mother. Talk about the show here.
