Her reasoning is so off. She says she will have enough money to raise them when she finishes school!!! Wow, she's out of touch. Many college educated people are out of work. Plus, who wil be taking care of all those kids while she works. She sounds clueless as to how much this is going to cost. Even with a good paying job, there is no way she can afford them. I am betting that she is betting on one of those TV series that are on now about multiple kids as one source of income and commercials, etc.
“I know I'll be able to afford them when I'm done with my schooling,” the 33-year-old single mom replied.
That line cracked me up... How the fuck are you going to have a job while taking care of 14 kids? Is she that detached from reality????
well her MOM will take care of all 14 of her children, of course.....b/c yes, she loves children so much and wants a big family, lots of babies...so grandma can carry the burden. :roll: that's real love of family!
and even forgetting who will take care of all those children while she works, there is also the small matter of what JOB does she think she can actually get, all on her own, that will pay enough for her to AFFORD to properly support and care for 14 children, some of whom are special needs....on WHAT salary? a counselor? i can think of very, very few jobs the average citizen, even with a masters degree, can get that actually pays the kind of salary to support such a family, with zero assistance. oh, that's right....it's a-ok for the taxpayers to foot the rest of the bill, simply 'b/c SHE wants a large family.' nope....not selfish or irresponsible. puh-leeaaasssseee.

It seems unfair to the kids. And I think they need a father. That is why it normally takes a man and a woman to create children, cuz both are needed in different ways. I didn't always think this. I raised my kids alone, but with age I now know they do.
Time will tell about this entire thing.
EDIT: I missed the part about she lives with her mom. I'd be pissed if my daughter did this while living with me. I can just imagine being expected to be a live in babysitter and adding financial support. I raised my kids and would not want to raise theirs. Thats just insane! This chick is out of touch, period.
Don't only that, but the hospital bill ALONE is $1million+. She is straight up delusional.

I wonder what Jon and Kate think about all of this.
Why? LOL!
Actually Larry King did have Kate onto talk about raising multiples when the story of the octuplets came out...but before the world found out the mom was totally insane.

i dont give a rats ass how she supports them.....
i dont give a rats ass if she is on welfare....
i dont give a rats ass if she collects food stamps....
i dont give a rats ass if she....and all 14 kids end up in straight jackets at any point in their lives....
i dont give a rats ass if in 2 years this lady is back in the news because she gave birth to 8 chimpanzees.....
it doesnt mean a fucking thing to me.............
it doesn't bother you that the cost of having these children is coming out of your pocket?

Woah there...who are you to be so judgmental? :P
i know, i know...but i already explained...fuckin' nobody. just a tax-paying citizen in this country.
in reality, it is not just *this woman*...altho i think most of us agree, she's out of her friggin' mind. the thing is, it's a poor example. sure, others 'milk the system'...but to THIS degree? and it's NOT just about abusing the system, it's about willingly bringing into this world...8 more babies.....KNOWing you cannot properly care for them physically, emotionally, mentally, financially....i really don't know of one person who could do so, solo. THAt is utter selfishness to me. i think it is an abuse of IVF, and of the 'system' at large...let alone these children. as i said earlier, about the only 'good' i can see possibly coming out of this is, instead of leaving it merely up to the 'ethics' of the prospective mother or parents...or the doctor...that perhaps some LAW limiting the # of implantations allowable and/or more stringent laws in regards to IVF in general, along the lines of adoption. i think that's fair and logical, and in the best interest of all involved. i think it's criminal to choose to go out of your way to have children you can't afford. take care of the family you HAVE, and preferably on your own dime.....before looking to have more, and don't expect to have more 'just b/c you can'...b/c it's not right for all of us to take care of you. having children is not a god-given *right*...it is a responsibility. there i go judging again, i just can't help myself.

I happen to like the Duggar family...despite all their crazy hard-core Christian values. At least they can afford to feed their own children!!
i fully agree! if people want to have a huge family, great! more power to em! knock yourselves out, have as many children as you want AND can AFFORD! i'm all for it! what i am against, is people thinking it's their *right* to have whatever they want, and not fully shoulder the responsibility. i think that about most things, not just this situation...but IN this situation, it is even MORE important. these are LIVES here, children....not some doll collection that 'you just want and must have.' but you betcha, if a couple - or even a single with the support, financial and emotional - to properly care for such children...great!
speedy.....yes there are. but should we ALLOW people to go out of their way, thru medical intervention, to bring even MORE children into this world they can't afford? that's my *issue* here. this isn't someone getting knocked up with one, even two babies...this is a woman, all on her own, deciding she wants and must have as many children as she desires, knowing full weell the consequences. and to have kids and THEN think you'll pay for them thru making their infancy a circus...well that's just shit. obviously, she can and she has, and will continue to....but i just hope this disaster serves as a lesson to prevent further abuse.
this is a woman, all on her own, deciding she wants and must have as many children as she desires, knowing full weell the consequences.
From a number of articles she seems to be compensating for some 'lack' she had as a child (so she says, though that is disputed from extensive medical data from when she injured herself at work). The IVF doctor should have made her seek psychiatric help for that instead of feeding her deficiencies/needs with one baby after the other, probably knowing damn well this was not ethical (especially the last lot!). But hey... how can a doctor refuse a request from a patient (or rather the money that goes with this request)?

Aww...the Duggar family...and that pic was BEFORE they had their most recent 3 girls!
P.S. At least the Duggars can afford their kids and aren't in debt, let alone on welfare/food stamps.

Woah there...who are you to be so judgmental? :P
They had to have the baby in the hospital a whole month before they could bring her home
Total medical costs exceeded $400,000 ! Tha was for ONE baby
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Technically it would be 15 more.
:eek: I hope they had good insurance.

whose parents cant support them....
at least this chick had a plan...."ill make millions in endorsements...ill be on leno and letterman...blah blah blah"
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I REALLLLLLLLLLY don't think that was her initial plan. If so she would've contacted TLC (or another network) to cover her pregnancy, birth etc...
Anyone feeling charitable today?
psssst - i know...i was playin' along.

You have GOT to be fucking KIDDING ME. :evil:
Her and her publicist are making up for the lost time/opportunities....
Ain't that the truth. I wonder when the book deal gets signed.
i'd like to use a word to describe my feelings about her right now but i don't want to get banned
