Okay this woman has already said she regrets what she did but how long do we pay for childcare? I think at some point she should be responsible to her own childcare as she is out getting her nails done ect.. Nadia clearly has mental illness and feel sorry for her children. I do believe she loves the children but how can you take care of all 14 children. Her older 6 kids are bad! They curse and hit the mother. The will end up in Jail or on the streets without a doubt.
she only has 2 hands not enough attention to go around for those kids. I pitty her and the children. I think she should tell the world who the father is as he needs to pay for these kids. Not you and me

turns out that woman is severely disturbed and shows no signs of actually being pregnant, though she insists that she’s carrying 12 children!

It’s amazing. Most humane societies require a background check to adopt a dog or cat. But any idiot can have a child. It’s really sad.

She’s obviously unstable but unfortunately mental competence is not a requirement for having children ie Sarah Palin, Gweneth Paltrow and Britney Spears.

Unfortunately, the media - especially those tabloid type shows - doesn’t see itself as a participant in these kind of situations. It’s news, they report it. But they, in a way, determine what news we see, and also what can “inspire” some women to copy others just for the attention or money. That said, almost all of the responsiblity for these situations lies with the woman involved, along with her health care provider.

This woman, gives women a bad name! How dare she expect to simply get famous and live off those children, also shame on the media for letting her !

Also, it’s kinda interesting that this woman is due next month…so 9 months after OctoMom had her babies. Coincidence or another quest for attention at the expense of taxpayers and children?

I think whatever the reason, if a woman deliberately chooses to have that many children, there is an element of selfishness that borders on obsession. I don’t agree with aborting the babies if a woman is not expecting 6 or 8 or however many she gives birth too. However, when the number of children born at one time becomes not only a risk to the mother but to them (especially if the mother does not have the means to take care of them on her own), a little common sense should prevail. This common sense should first be used when the woman starts IVF treatments, if that is what she does. Most women trust their doctors when it comes to this, and some doctors don’t use common sense either. What gets me is if a mother reasons that she will always get help for her children because of how they came about, or if her back-up plan is to become a reality TV star, that’s where the selfishness reaches a new low.
