Octo-Blog

I’m sure everyone has heard about this woman by now. Octuplets…really?! I’ve been holding on to this for far too long now…I must vent.

This woman had 6 children to begin with…at least one with autism. She already wasn’t taking care of her own kids, she had her mom helping her. The fact that she was on food stamps speaks for itself. I’m really not sure how she came to the irrational decision that she could take care of 8 more. Now they will go on in their lives, all 14 children, with no father.

I know I speak for many women out there when I say that fertility problems are heartbreaking. Whether it is the man or the woman who has the problem, it hurts just the same. Cody & I were lucky to conceive Madison without assistance. But this was after 18 months of trying, and seeing a specialist, and it not working. She is our little miracle baby. I will thank God for her every day.

This Octomom acted out of complete selfishness. She could have just had one or two embryos transferred. She transferred 7. Any specialist would have told her the risks involved. She clearly didn’t care. She thought it was ok to risk the lives of her babies. Why, I don’t know. Then, after these 8 babies are born, and in intensive care because they are so early and so tiny, she runs around town with her Starbucks in hand, acts cute for the paparazzi, and THEN has the nerve to ask for donations!!! Babies are a gift, not a way to make money!!

Does she deserve donations? In my opinion, NO WAY!! She got herself into this mess, on purpose, no less. She needs to bail herself out.

I saw her on Dr. Phil the other day, and there was this charity that was going to provide around the clock nannies for her babies until they were 18 months old. I couldn’t help but think at that moment that she didn’t deserve this, and she appeared to be completely ungrateful.

The story I read this morning was the last straw for me. It said that she basically fired the charity, because she thinks they are spying on her. WHAT?!?! Now what the hell is she going to do? Someone should take these babies and give them to someone who will really take care of them. If she cared about these babies at all, we would never see her face on TMZ, because she would be a fixture in the NICU making sure her babies are ok. Or at the very least, taking care of the other 6. JEEZ!!!
