seriously, you can simply 'tell' right now. sad.


anyhoo...couldn't care less what she looks like, what she does to herself, etc, etc. my only concern is the children, and sure the absolute abuse of IVF and public assistance. it is such things that make more people who are on the fence about IVF question it's validity/morality....and she makes people who truly DO need temporary assistance, but honestly want to pull themselves up and be self-supportive, look bad....b/c she's just another story of another person abusing the system, no personal responsibility, etc. just bad news all around.

I think her obsession with Angelina Jolie speaks volumes about her state of mind and also gives insight to another reason she wanted such a large family.

I listen to a local LA radio station (yes, I get it all the way in San Diego) and this morning they said her friends and family have been coming forward with the news that she's infatuated with all things Angelina Jolie. Apparently she's sent AJ numerous letters, cards, gifts...etc.

ah well...completely unsurprising she's a freaky-dink. of course, just guessing....as i don't know her personally and cannot possibly make that judgement from info out there. :P i think there is a lot that is so 'telling' about her and her decisions, and the whys of such choices...some she volunteers herself.

I'm slightly addicted to this subject, too. And there are great posts on here - I think most of us are horrified at the lack of responsibility that this woman has, in addition to her obvious mental illness.

My husband and I went through the early stages of fertility stuff. This is after one miscarriage, birth of a child, then my inability to get pregnant again. We wanted a second child so badly. The infertility thing was super depressing and I went to a therapist to deal with it, as did most of my friends who went through infertility problems. And at the same time we looked into adoption and ended up adopting from India. Most of you probably know that China and India have orphanages filled with girls. And I've posted on here before how rigorously my husband and I were screened before we could adopt. At one point a social worker came to our house, walked around all of it, checked the yard, checked our dogs (and cats) to make sure they were child-friendly.

I know I'm rambling, sorry. I think the children should be taken away from her. I don't think she should get a penny from public assistance, the idea that she set up a website for donations makes me puke, her plastic-surgery-to-look-like-Angelina-Jolie...

Okay. I'm stopping now.

Just think, if 2 adults and 6 kids got a 3 bedroom house that bad, wait until there are 8 more kids!

seriously, i think the BIGGEST issue is simply, b/c these 8 children are all the same age! in other very large families, the childrens ages, even if one right after another....there'd still be an 8 year gap from youngest to oldest, or in this case, a 14 year gap. that makes a HUGE difference, b/c then siblings can truly help the whole family out. 14 children, 8 of which are the same age, ALL under the age of 7 with ONE parent = disaster, for all involved really. i truly wish these children the best.....they need every blessing they can possibly get.

I'm too lazy to look thru all these pages...... has anyone posted a picture or a link to a picture of her and her giant belly when it was just about to pop out these 8 babies? Because I have it. And it's gross.

nope!
we have pics comparing her face to angelina jolie...before/after plastic surgery pics...and mostly discussion of the back/forth of what she did, and all us judgemental people judging her unfairly and harshly.





so share away, if you dare!
don't know if i personally want to see it tho!

My last rant of the day and please don't post that gross picture of her "this is gonna make me a zillion dollars" belly.

One of the hard things about parenting and other parents will understand is time management. For example, people ask me what I'm doing on the weekend. And I have to think - oh, my son has soccer practice and a playdate and then a haircut and a birthday party to go to. And my daughter has a sleepover and T-ball practice and her best friend is having a ballet concert and she forgot to tell me she needs a Pilgrim costume by Monday for school and of course she's got playdates, too.

That's just the weekend. And I only have 2 children, not 14.

*covers eyes*


seriously, WHy did i look? hahahaha. actully, not nearly as bad as i imagined. i've seen a lot of big preggo bellies tho. surely not THAt big, but yea.

however, i forget who posted about her 'bad back' and the workman's comp, disability payments, etc......um.....HUH?! how in the hell, if she had a 'bad back' could she EVER be pregnant like that? who would allow it? i mean, a perfectly healthy person, with a perfetly healthy back...could probably almost feel crippled with a belly like that! yikes! it is sooooooo freaky that a human being could actually carry such a litter of children. someone mentioned on the MT, if we were meant to birth so many offspring at once, we'd have 6-8 breasts on our bellies like dogs and cats, not the 2 as we're equipped. really, there Is good reason we are designed as we are! :shock:

As much as this lady pisses me off, etc., the sickos sending her death threats are way worse than her!!!!

that is just beyond fucked!



honestly, i don't 'keep up' with much in the meida....some reading online here or there, links provided here....and sure, CNN at lunch while at work, can't be missed simply b/c it's 'there', on all the time in our commons area. i've not heard of this. no matter WHAT i think about this woman, her actions, etc......that is just sooooooo disgusting and wrong! scary and freaky people in this world!

Yup, that was me. I barely have time for 2 kids of 2 different ages. One of them was a screamer. I had to kangaroo her pretty much her first 3 months of life or she'd cry - what do you do if you have 8? Just let them all yell?

I know! And aren't there laws about only so many kids per so many square footage. There is for homes to be licensed day cares. Won't the state end up taking them away based on those kinds of things?

By unfortunately looking at the pic posted earlier, all I can say is that woman must have some serious back problems now.

thanks for posting that my boyfriend keeps joking about making me pregnant so I showed him that and said 'so ya want THAT to happen to ME?' (I didn't tell him it was the octuplets mom ). Strangely enough he hasn't mentioned it since so thanks.
