To any woman who is such a huge Narcissus as this one, their Vagina would be a clown car or any other vehicle to get noticed. ( loved your comment. I laughed and laughed.)
She is one sick bitch. Mentally, emotionally and physically. She should be the poster child for people who abuse the system and put the drain on all of us.
If Karma were to be served right now she would burst into flames. She is nothing more than a circus Freak show and herself being the headlining Freak... I just feel bad for these children who were born into this world with such a parent. Yes, their are worse parents out there, but this is its own form of child abuse and neglect being thrown in everyones faces. and we all ended up paying for it. We need to look at how this all took place and how to stop it from happening again.
Her statment that the tax payers are paying ZERO for her children is A LIE! Where does she think the Social Security Disability payments she gets for three of the children come from?? Someone needs to let her know Social Security money IS tax payers money. Does she think the Social Security prints that money or finds it on trees somewhere?
I certainly hope she paid the hospital bill by herself, but I am certain the taxpayers did it. She, as all food stamp recipients, should be required to pay back the money with her new found wealth.
With all those kids think how much this gene pool will expand! Add another trillion to the deficit . Then there is all the new wackos as there is no way they can live a normal life and the dna is probably faulty too. Like a bad sci fi movie.
She lied right out of the gate in her first interview with Anne Curry. "I had 6 frozen embryos left so I used them. 2 split into identical twins." Not only are there no twins in this bunch, but documents have since surfaced that state she did NOT use ANY frozen embryos in any of her pregnancies, up to and including THIS one. She opted for fresh embryo retrieval each time, adding to the stockpile of leftover frozen ones. It would be impossible to shoot down all the lies this woman has told this past year in one tiny comment box. That would take the work of a good investigative reporter. Instead we get these BS "fluff" stories and more lies.
She also posed for a magazine cover and claimed her body is all natural with no surgery. Funny, I remember earlier her saying she had a tummy tuck. As big as her body is, there is no way the skin would go back to looking like that on its own. She had a tummy tuck, so LIE! Also, she said she 'prefers to do things the natural way'. I guess that statement doesn't apply to the way she gets pregnant, though, does it? LIE! I can't stand this woman. She berated Kate Gosselin for showing off her bikini body, when Kate was simply on the beach with her kids and paparazzi were taking pictures without her permission. Yet this crazy bitch POSES for some magazine cover showing off her 'natural' bikini body. God, I just want to slap this woman. She is delusional.
I can deal with the post-tummy-tuck (or should I call it tummy PLEAT, furrow,ditch whatever) photos. It's the photos of that enormous, veiny, hideous belly of hers that put both me and my husband off food.
Oh please! For someone who is going to include a special section of her book just for young women to tell them it is okay for their bodies to have flaws post baby, she sure spends an awful lot of time flaunting "her" perfection. If it is so okay, then why not show those young girls exactly what she really looks like - no "make-up", no photoshop. This person is not someone I would consider a role model for my daughters. (The lying and hypocrisy are just the tip of the iceberg why I think she is the antithesis of role model material.) I honestly don't find it all that amazing that someone loses their pregnancy weight - since that is weight that is supposed to come off after the pregnancy anyway. Given how much baby she was packing around, amniotic fluid, placentas, etc. - I'd be more surprised if she didn't lose a significant amount of weight following delivery. RE: stretchmarks - once you got 'em, they don't go away. No creams, no amount of time - they fade, but don't disappear entirely. Even my 13 year old daughter can spot the photo-editing.
Furthermore, babies shouldn't spend most of the first year of their life just lying in their cribs. Considering they are usually crawling between 6-8 months, even at adjusted age for their prematurity, the octuplets should be doing more than just lying in their cribs. I've had preemies - they did a lot more than just lie around in their cribs the first year. I'm sure if I just left them in their cribs or let the nannies take care of them, I'd think it was pretty easy too.
Oh, yea, soccer. I have stretch marks that will not go anywhere! And I only had one baby! Either they were edited, or she once again, lied and had surgery. That would not surprise me!
I agree too on the the comment about them lying in the their cribs. Neither of my boys just laid in their cribs the first year and they were a lot of work!!
I'm so sick of Today touting this woman and her lies. I used to enjoy Today but now they become no better than the National Enquirer!
I PITY the fool who lacks even basic common sense enough to believe a single claim coming out of the mouth of this LYING LIAR.
Her preposterous claims about her pregnancies and number of embryos used to make them, her "fitness" routine, her "natural" figure, I mean- REALLY.
Her lawyer is just as bad as she is, CLEARLY he signed on for a percentage of her "profits" and is in collusion with marketing her and her scams. This guy is her legal counselor, AND media handler. The two of them and their SHAMELESS lies is just TOO much.
California is BROKE and I don't believe her claims that the tax payers are paying "zero" for her or her kids. Everything ELSE that's ever come out of her hemorrhoid lips has been a LIE, so that is, too. Fool us once, shame on her. Fool us anymore, shame on US. I AM NOT HER FOOL.
She said in her original interview with Ann Curry that she wasn't taking help, but that she was on food stamps and WIC, etc. She didn't consider that state help!!
So, I'm sure when Matt Lauer asked her again, she is still under the delusion that food stamps and WIC are not taxpayers help/money!
So the babies are "perfect" healthwise. Any plan to fix Jonah`s cleft lip? Or was all the money earmarked for Nadya`s perfect body reconstruction? Nice to know she`s free to spend their money as SHE sees fit.
its easy to go to the gym when you have 3 live in nannies!!!
what i consider wrong and someone please correct me if im wrong is that dont autistic children need more time than other kids, more attention etc? how can she possibly devout enough time to this autistic child and 2 others with unknown disabilities and care for the remaining herd???? its physically impossible to look after those kids properly
will you stop giving this woman what she wants. free publicity, money etc. cover of 'star' magazine etc. she's ugly, insane & does not have a good body. there are plenty of sane, nice people out there doing great things for others. cute animals, endangered species... put these on the cover & give them the publicity for goodness sake. this woman is a con artist & its working...
By the way! The tups are a year old! Any chance of seeing them doing what typical 1 year olds do? We`ve only seen them confined to strollers, Bumbo seats or the 8 seater feeding table. Can they crawl? Stand? Walk? Or are they just convenient backdrop props for "mommy" to flash her bad self ie the Family Christmas hoochy mamma Card (minus half the family)http://www.news4jax.com/news/21929415/detail.html# Or the Halloween get-up. Pregnant nun. Why is this funny? And once again, where are the rest of her children?http://www.buzzfeed.com/akdobbins/octo-moms-halloween-costume Then there`s this story that we`re commenting on. Commemorating the year of the tups...no mention of siblings. Someone please mention that this woman has 14 (fourteen) children. She claims to have a degree in Early Childhood Development. Pity the fool who awarded her that.
Thanks for sharing the horror pics! What was with the "outfit" in the Christmas pic? Does she really think someone is going to find her "hot and sexy"? With 14 kids??????? UGH!
So, in her Christmas pic, where are the rest of her kids? When you do a family photo, don't you normally include everyone in the family???????
The babies are one year old but if you subtract for prematurity they are only nine months. For nine months what they are doing is perfectly appropriate. I wish this group of witch hunters would find another victim and leave this family alone to enjoy their day!
She already has a child on the spectrum. I'd be willing to bet at least one of the new eight will develop autism. For many children, it doesn't show up until after age 1. Or maybe there are signs already, but mama doesn't spend enough time with them to notice.
For nine months what they are doing is perfectly appropriate.
Let me see....at 9 months both of my kids were crawling, pulling themselves up on furniture, trying to walk, they could both "finger" walk (you know, while I held their hands, they walked) and generally acting like a pre-toddler. They were NOT, and I repeat, NOT, spending their time lying around in their cribs!!
At 9 months my son was walking. All kids develop differently. What's the point? Besides, wasn't it the lawyer or whatever who said that? Some 40 year old man who probably has no kids of his own...doubt he has any idea what babies do.
kelly 23 - The babies are one year old but if you subtract for prematurity they are only nine months. For nine months what they are doing is perfectly appropriate
I gave birth to a 4 lb., 6 oz. premie over 20 years ago. By 3 months, she was smiliing, cooing, and holding her head up on her own. By 5 months, she began to crawl. By 7 months, she was standing but holding on to something for balance. AT ONE, SHE WAS WALKING ON HER OWN.
I don't know where you've gotten your info that these babies are "normal" when, as Czech said, they've been lying in their cribs for the first 3/4 of their lives. NORMAL babies want to MOVE and explore.
This grotesque animal who dares to call herself a human mother gives MONSTER a new meaning.
I find it interesting that no article EVER mentions that she's paid back her student loans. Instead of that money going toward her EDUCATION, she used it for personal use. What about her 10 year "disability" payments for 10 years? It's quite obvious that she wasn't "disabled" by a "bad back." She bred like a rabbit for years.
I want to see how many of us "mortals" could get away with scams like these and, to boot, be praised by the media for doing so!
This disgusting "THING," who poses as a human female/mother, is a scourge on society. For her to blatantly state that she wants to be a "role model" in any way makes me vomit.
I don't know where in the birth order her autistic child stands, but once he was found to be autistic, this selfish woman should have stopped having additional children. An autistic child requires & deserves all the attention he can get, and should not be shunted off because Mommy wants to have eight more kids. Why does the state of California consider this woman a fit mother?
Annoyed - the autistic child is among the first 6, and no mention of him is ever made. I suspect that part of Octomom's livelihood is supported by the disability payments she receives for all of the disabilities many of the children have. One child, if I remember correctly, was diagnosed as a "slow learner." There's money pouring in for that child, too. I do question who is the real recipient of that government assistance .... Octomom, or the children?
I have a son who is on the autism-spectrum disorder -- he has Asperger's syndrome, which is not bad as far as autism goes, that's why my kids are 12 years apart. When you have a special needs child, all your attention is totally focused on that child. At least, that's what I think (I'm not talking about ignoring your spouse, either).
How on Earth did she ever find the time to have what, 3 or 4 more kids after him BEFORE she got pregnant with the money-makers, take care of an autistic child, carry the octuplets and give birth to them, lose 150 lbs., get "rid" of the stretch marks and get off food stamps? That's probably why she never has time to sleep. She's got to multi-task!
She already receives disability payments for 3 of her kids (the older ones). Imagine when they start finding disabilities in all the other 8 kids, how much she stands to make.
How can anyone believe anything that comes out of that repulsive mouth? Apparently she thinks the rest of the world is stupid and will just believe any old thing she decides to lie about. I have news, Octoliar, just because your parents didn't call you on your lies, doesn't mean the rest of the world won't. Who really believes she only sleeps two hours a night? But maybe it is true - she just doesn't mention the 6 hour nap she takes during the day. No, she didn't have a tummy tuck - she had a whole body lift.
Pity the poor neglected children. I hope it doesn't take a tragedy to get all 14 into a safe and sane environment.
2 hours of sleep, with 3 live-in nanny's? Uh, no, she's very well rested! You can see that from her little posed picture. How much you wanna bet she pushed those kids off the minute the picture was snapped?!?!?!
Stretch marks do not go away.....no matter how much "magic" cream you use!
Belle ... I wish I'd thought of Octoliar myself. Bravo! I doubt that she really cares what anyone thinks. All she's interested in is how much $$$ she can make by exploiting her kids. Her pathetic brain is only interested in herself and seeing her name and image in tabloids. And now, she's taken to exploiting her fake body.
LS - re: stretch marks .... you're right. I have 2 adult children. I stopped using cocoa butter after the 2nd one, because NOTHING made the stretch marks magically "vanish."
“So, let me just make sure I’m clear on this,” Lauer said during the interview. “Right now the taxpayers of California are paying zero for the support of any of these 14 children.”
Interesting, the article notes no two octuplets look alike. Does this mean eight separate embryos were implanted?
I am curious: what's happening with Desmond Hatchett? He is the guy who has 21 children and is not 30. He never received coverage nor was he the butt of jokes for his non-payment of child support. Talk about the government picking-up a tab!
If he wrote a book it might interesting. The Dilley's book about raising their six is. Ms. Suleman's might be, especially if she writes about taking the chance with more than six embryos. Many people take the risk of multiples when they use the method Ms. Suleman used. Did doctors studying Ms. Suleman's case learn anything additional about the probability and risk of implanting multiple embryos?
Think what you want about her financial situation, but what knowledge did fertility science gain? Most times she tried (at least) six, she got one. Should her experience bring encouragement to those seeking the same procedure? What are the points of consideration when one is told each of the embryos is viable? How did she make all the decisions about all the options presented to her? I am curious.
I once had a neighbor (bless her heart) who had her first child at 14 and had 5 by the time she was 21! Everyone was amazed that she had a perfectly clean house. Well, she put the kids outside to play at 8:00 in the morning, handed lunch out the door to them and they didn't come in till noon. Many times they came to my house wanting in to go to the bathroom or a drink of water. The baby was in the crib in his room all day until dinner when Dad came home and then back in a couple of hours. They thought he had developmental problems and he was checked by the doctors who said he was perfectly fine. At one he was not talking or walking, still bottle fed and wearing diapers. When summer came she would put him in the back yard in the playpen. Within 2 months he was talking, walking eating, etc. If children are not exposed to normal things they will not do them. Once he was in an environment of the other children the blossomed! Her babies are deprived, you can tell by the way they act. The nannies are obviously not attentive to them. Her other children are starved for attention. What a mess!
[quote]At one he was not talking or walking, still bottle fed and wearing diapers.[/quote]
Wow I must have done something wrong too, at the age of one, only one of my three was walking, the oldest, and he was still bottle fed and wearing diapers. I think most children are. Glad to see what a rotten parent we all are according to those standards.
Sorry, you missed the point. If your child was in a crib in as room alone 22 of 24 hours a day I would agree you are a rotten parent. I think most children at one, if not walking are crawling, pulling up on things, etc. and certainly eating baby food, etc.
The point was that babies need to be exposed to others to learn and thrive. I don't believe hers are getting this, and that is only an opinion based on pictures and reports.
"Whipped and Spun BS"... When you squeeze the tube a plastic surgeon pops out, does a tummy tuck and lipo and is paid for by the trash magazine you agreed to do an exclusive story and photo spread with.
Shame on the networks for exposing this sick woman
The more publicity this crazy chick (serious mental illness) gets the more 1000 other girls are going to try to do what she has done. The media just perpetuates social problems and this celebrity craze went way too far. Shame on Today and MSN.
So she spends all her time at the lawyers office, at the gym, or on the phone making tv deals and interviews. Meanwhile, her THREE live-in nannies are taking care of the kids. I wonder if she can even name all 14 children without looking at the list she keeps in her pocket.
In a way, I'm glad I'm young enough to be around when the day comes that these kids can do their own TV show about life growing up with their mother. THAT would be interesting to hear.
sfs - now THAT'S an Octomom show I WILL watch. I'll need a box of tissues, though. None of these poor kids will ever know what caring parents or a normal environment means.
I am so disgusted with this article. This woman cannot possibly do all that the article says. I can't keep up with my two children, work and find time to get groceries and work out. What an awful message to send to hard working moms that you can be perfect and look perfect.
I agree with you. Her daily schedule is total BS! Plus the message that women can look like that after 14 babies pop out is absurd. She is a poor excuse for a woman and mother. I feel sorry for those children.
Remember how Kate Gosselin's stomach looked before she had the tuck? And this was after her kids had already turned 1! So imagine what Octomom's tummy looked like (I know, I know just the thought is enough to induce stomach-turning). There is NO way this woman(?!) could have a flat, smooth stomach less than a year after having eight children. If she wants to pretend creams and nature got rid of stretch marks (that DO NOT go away, no matter what she says), she's only hurting herself.
This women is what she is and she has to deal with it.
However the ridiculous self righteous hatred directed at her from all y'all means that you people are not at the very happy place yourself - mentally and spritually.
People don't hate her. You are missing the point. It was extremely irresponsible for a single, unemployed mother of 6 to have more children. She created a burden for herself, her famliy and taxpayers, who don't want to pay for her and her children. I take care of my 1 because that's all I can afford on my salary. It would be just plain stupid for me to have more children at this time. Octofool, did what she wanted to do, without any regards to the consequences. We are outraged by her actions and the shameless way she keeps flaunting herself in our faces. She wanted and brought all of these children into this world because she loved being a mother. She needs to be that and get her selfish, ignorant, unattractive, lying face out of our faces.
Here is the problem with these people - she says "no way - surgery would be CHEATING"... and what do you call in vetro fertilization? She is stupid and as much as she might look hot - she is insane. And Mrindia - you are wrong... I do hate her for what she has done because it affects everybody (takes up time, energy and resources (including my money)). She could not care less about being a mother (no mother would add children to a brood of six already). She should be put in amental institution and her kids taken from her and distributed to other couples having problems having children....
MrIndia: This women is what she is and she has to deal with it. I beg to differ with you. California and the UNITED STATES taxpayers paid for her insanity for OVER TEN YEARS. She hasn't forked over ONE PENNY for the care of her 14 children!!!!!!
She, and others like her, are leeches and scourges on American society.
Seriously? Are we still focused on a mother that is STILL unemployed, and is STILL supporting her children from money earned in media scrutinies? This is retarded and ridiculous! Why doesn't she get a real job? I don't care about her "new" body either! I understand that she's been working hard to get that weight off, but to show her body off in a MAGAZINE when she has young children? Is she stupid?
I highly doubt that she's cured those stretch marks. Last time I checked with a doctor, skin creams could only do so much. I have a feeling that the magazine digitally removed the stretch marks from her body! THERE IS NO CURE FOR STRETCH MARKS! ONLY TIME CAN HELP GET RID OF THEM!
Even time does not help stretch marks!! No, this bimbo had help from a knife and a surgeon!! At the expense of her kids! Maybe that's why we haven't seen or heard from her in months...she's been recovering!
Go away!!!
And six older brothers......it's a vagina, not a clown car!
To any woman who is such a huge Narcissus as this one, their Vagina would be a clown car or any other vehicle to get noticed. ( loved your comment. I laughed and laughed.)
She is one sick bitch. Mentally, emotionally and physically. She should be the poster child for people who abuse the system and put the drain on all of us.

Yes...away to some dying galaxie you beast.
Just when I thought I was at The Bottom of The Trash Can, I picked it up, and found Nadya Suleman underneath!
As we speak, these tykes are becoming mobile.
My suggestion to her is that she drinks heavily. It'll make for great TV!
Her statment that the tax payers are paying ZERO for her children is A LIE! Where does she think the Social Security Disability payments she gets for three of the children come from?? Someone needs to let her know Social Security money IS tax payers money. Does she think the Social Security prints that money or finds it on trees somewhere?
Okay ... so the freak of the week has had 51 weeks too many. We are SO done with this ... (insert appropriate pejorative).
Stop with her already. Nobody cares!
a year later and this idiot and her 'doctor' are not yet in jail... is this the change we voted for?
"She like to do things herself"
Well, she didn't get pregnant alone.
I certainly hope she paid the hospital bill by herself, but I am certain the taxpayers did it. She, as all food stamp recipients, should be required to pay back the money with her new found wealth.
Shouldn't this article have been listed under "Weird News?"
Go away you fish lipped media whore. Doing her would be like throwing a pickle down a hallway. Can you hear the echo in here????
With all those kids think how much this gene pool will expand! Add another trillion to the deficit . Then there is all the new wackos as there is no way they can live a normal life and the dna is probably faulty too. Like a bad sci fi movie.

I can deal with the post-tummy-tuck (or should I call it tummy PLEAT, furrow,ditch whatever) photos. It's the photos of that enormous, veiny, hideous belly of hers that put both me and my husband off food.
Why don't they put this nubjob behind bars and give the kids to a truly good parent.

Can't wait to read her "memoirs".......{epic eye roll}
Unclean, unclean! EEEEK, wretch, puke, belch and anything else the mind can conjure up.
So the babies are "perfect" healthwise. Any plan to fix Jonah`s cleft lip? Or was all the money earmarked for Nadya`s perfect body reconstruction? Nice to know she`s free to spend their money as SHE sees fit.
Oh she'll just let the taxpayers pay for the kids problems.
Yeah, sure wish I had the time and money to go to the gym 4 days a week for 3 hours at a time. And probably on someone else's dime.
its easy to go to the gym when you have 3 live in nannies!!!
what i consider wrong and someone please correct me if im wrong is that dont autistic children need more time than other kids, more attention etc? how can she possibly devout enough time to this autistic child and 2 others with unknown disabilities and care for the remaining herd???? its physically impossible to look after those kids properly
will you stop giving this woman what she wants. free publicity, money etc. cover of 'star' magazine etc. she's ugly, insane & does not have a good body. there are plenty of sane, nice people out there doing great things for others. cute animals, endangered species... put these on the cover & give them the publicity for goodness sake. this woman is a con artist & its working...
right on, this is absurd, repulsive and revolting !!!...

Nothing like looking like a tramp in the family Christmas photo huh?

We should leave them alone, JUST LIKE THEIR OWN MOTHER DOES?
Next to their own mother, people like you are their worst enemies.
And many many learning disabilities will manifest themselves very soon.
She already has a child on the spectrum. I'd be willing to bet at least one of the new eight will develop autism. For many children, it doesn't show up until after age 1. Or maybe there are signs already, but mama doesn't spend enough time with them to notice.

I gave birth to a 4 lb., 6 oz. premie over 20 years ago. By 3 months, she was smiliing, cooing, and holding her head up on her own. By 5 months, she began to crawl. By 7 months, she was standing but holding on to something for balance. AT ONE, SHE WAS WALKING ON HER OWN.
I don't know where you've gotten your info that these babies are "normal" when, as Czech said, they've been lying in their cribs for the first 3/4 of their lives. NORMAL babies want to MOVE and explore.
This grotesque animal who dares to call herself a human mother gives MONSTER a new meaning.
I find it interesting that no article EVER mentions that she's paid back her student loans. Instead of that money going toward her EDUCATION, she used it for personal use. What about her 10 year "disability" payments for 10 years? It's quite obvious that she wasn't "disabled" by a "bad back." She bred like a rabbit for years.
I want to see how many of us "mortals" could get away with scams like these and, to boot, be praised by the media for doing so!
This disgusting "THING," who poses as a human female/mother, is a scourge on society. For her to blatantly state that she wants to be a "role model" in any way makes me vomit.
ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................
I don't know where in the birth order her autistic child stands, but once he was found to be autistic, this selfish woman should have stopped having additional children. An autistic child requires & deserves all the attention he can get, and should not be shunted off because Mommy wants to have eight more kids. Why does the state of California consider this woman a fit mother?
She needs more kids who are "disabled" so she can get Social Security Disability payments for them. That's how her game works.
Annoyed - the autistic child is among the first 6, and no mention of him is ever made. I suspect that part of Octomom's livelihood is supported by the disability payments she receives for all of the disabilities many of the children have. One child, if I remember correctly, was diagnosed as a "slow learner." There's money pouring in for that child, too. I do question who is the real recipient of that government assistance .... Octomom, or the children?
I have a son who is on the autism-spectrum disorder -- he has Asperger's syndrome, which is not bad as far as autism goes, that's why my kids are 12 years apart. When you have a special needs child, all your attention is totally focused on that child. At least, that's what I think (I'm not talking about ignoring your spouse, either).
How on Earth did she ever find the time to have what, 3 or 4 more kids after him BEFORE she got pregnant with the money-makers, take care of an autistic child, carry the octuplets and give birth to them, lose 150 lbs., get "rid" of the stretch marks and get off food stamps? That's probably why she never has time to sleep. She's got to multi-task!
She already receives disability payments for 3 of her kids (the older ones). Imagine when they start finding disabilities in all the other 8 kids, how much she stands to make.
Please do not interview, talk about or give her any publicity. She has exploited those children to push her notoriety. Enough already!
How can anyone believe anything that comes out of that repulsive mouth? Apparently she thinks the rest of the world is stupid and will just believe any old thing she decides to lie about. I have news, Octoliar, just because your parents didn't call you on your lies, doesn't mean the rest of the world won't. Who really believes she only sleeps two hours a night? But maybe it is true - she just doesn't mention the 6 hour nap she takes during the day. No, she didn't have a tummy tuck - she had a whole body lift.
Pity the poor neglected children. I hope it doesn't take a tragedy to get all 14 into a safe and sane environment.
I love it, Octoliar!! That she is!
2 hours of sleep, with 3 live-in nanny's? Uh, no, she's very well rested! You can see that from her little posed picture. How much you wanna bet she pushed those kids off the minute the picture was snapped?!?!?!
Stretch marks do not go away.....no matter how much "magic" cream you use!
Belle ... I wish I'd thought of Octoliar myself. Bravo! I doubt that she really cares what anyone thinks. All she's interested in is how much $$$ she can make by exploiting her kids. Her pathetic brain is only interested in herself and seeing her name and image in tabloids. And now, she's taken to exploiting her fake body.
LS - re: stretch marks .... you're right. I have 2 adult children. I stopped using cocoa butter after the 2nd one, because NOTHING made the stretch marks magically "vanish."
No doubt she lost the stretch marks when the extra yards of skin were removed from her belly.
Bull!!!!
no no its true, remember medical care and food stamps arent welfare lol
Interesting, the article notes no two octuplets look alike. Does this mean eight separate embryos were implanted?
I am curious: what's happening with Desmond Hatchett? He is the guy who has 21 children and is not 30. He never received coverage nor was he the butt of jokes for his non-payment of child support. Talk about the government picking-up a tab!
If he wrote a book it might interesting. The Dilley's book about raising their six is. Ms. Suleman's might be, especially if she writes about taking the chance with more than six embryos. Many people take the risk of multiples when they use the method Ms. Suleman used. Did doctors studying Ms. Suleman's case learn anything additional about the probability and risk of implanting multiple embryos?
Think what you want about her financial situation, but what knowledge did fertility science gain? Most times she tried (at least) six, she got one. Should her experience bring encouragement to those seeking the same procedure? What are the points of consideration when one is told each of the embryos is viable? How did she make all the decisions about all the options presented to her? I am curious.
IMCurious - never believe ANYTHING that comes out of Octomom's duck lips or the lips of her lawyers, doctors, friends, or families. They ALL lie.
I once had a neighbor (bless her heart) who had her first child at 14 and had 5 by the time she was 21! Everyone was amazed that she had a perfectly clean house. Well, she put the kids outside to play at 8:00 in the morning, handed lunch out the door to them and they didn't come in till noon. Many times they came to my house wanting in to go to the bathroom or a drink of water. The baby was in the crib in his room all day until dinner when Dad came home and then back in a couple of hours. They thought he had developmental problems and he was checked by the doctors who said he was perfectly fine. At one he was not talking or walking, still bottle fed and wearing diapers. When summer came she would put him in the back yard in the playpen. Within 2 months he was talking, walking eating, etc. If children are not exposed to normal things they will not do them. Once he was in an environment of the other children the blossomed! Her babies are deprived, you can tell by the way they act. The nannies are obviously not attentive to them. Her other children are starved for attention. What a mess!
[quote]At one he was not talking or walking, still bottle fed and wearing diapers.[/quote]
Wow I must have done something wrong too, at the age of one, only one of my three was walking, the oldest, and he was still bottle fed and wearing diapers. I think most children are. Glad to see what a rotten parent we all are according to those standards.
Sorry, you missed the point. If your child was in a crib in as room alone 22 of 24 hours a day I would agree you are a rotten parent. I think most children at one, if not walking are crawling, pulling up on things, etc. and certainly eating baby food, etc.
The point was that babies need to be exposed to others to learn and thrive. I don't believe hers are getting this, and that is only an opinion based on pictures and reports.
I need the name of the cream she used!!!!!!
"Whipped and Spun BS"... When you squeeze the tube a plastic surgeon pops out, does a tummy tuck and lipo and is paid for by the trash magazine you agreed to do an exclusive story and photo spread with.
You got that right, Yashica!
Foof....LMAO!
Yashica, Foof, and LS ..... you all made my day! LOL
Shame on the networks for exposing this sick woman
The more publicity this crazy chick (serious mental illness) gets the more 1000 other girls are going to try to do what she has done. The media just perpetuates social problems and this celebrity craze went way too far. Shame on Today and MSN.
So she spends all her time at the lawyers office, at the gym, or on the phone making tv deals and interviews. Meanwhile, her THREE live-in nannies are taking care of the kids. I wonder if she can even name all 14 children without looking at the list she keeps in her pocket.
In a way, I'm glad I'm young enough to be around when the day comes that these kids can do their own TV show about life growing up with their mother. THAT would be interesting to hear.
sfs - now THAT'S an Octomom show I WILL watch. I'll need a box of tissues, though. None of these poor kids will ever know what caring parents or a normal environment means.
Please stop promoting this woman and others who are "famous" because they want to be "famous"!!!
I am so disgusted with this article. This woman cannot possibly do all that the article says. I can't keep up with my two children, work and find time to get groceries and work out. What an awful message to send to hard working moms that you can be perfect and look perfect.
I agree with you. Her daily schedule is total BS! Plus the message that women can look like that after 14 babies pop out is absurd. She is a poor excuse for a woman and mother. I feel sorry for those children.
yep at least kate gosselin has never tried to hide the fact she needed a tummy tuck after her 6 kids
Remember how Kate Gosselin's stomach looked before she had the tuck? And this was after her kids had already turned 1! So imagine what Octomom's tummy looked like (I know, I know just the thought is enough to induce stomach-turning). There is NO way this woman(?!) could have a flat, smooth stomach less than a year after having eight children. If she wants to pretend creams and nature got rid of stretch marks (that DO NOT go away, no matter what she says), she's only hurting herself.
This women is what she is and she has to deal with it.
However the ridiculous self righteous hatred directed at her from all y'all means that you people are not at the very happy place yourself - mentally and spritually.
People don't hate her. You are missing the point. It was extremely irresponsible for a single, unemployed mother of 6 to have more children. She created a burden for herself, her famliy and taxpayers, who don't want to pay for her and her children. I take care of my 1 because that's all I can afford on my salary. It would be just plain stupid for me to have more children at this time. Octofool, did what she wanted to do, without any regards to the consequences. We are outraged by her actions and the shameless way she keeps flaunting herself in our faces. She wanted and brought all of these children into this world because she loved being a mother. She needs to be that and get her selfish, ignorant, unattractive, lying face out of our faces.
Here is the problem with these people - she says "no way - surgery would be CHEATING"... and what do you call in vetro fertilization? She is stupid and as much as she might look hot - she is insane. And Mrindia - you are wrong... I do hate her for what she has done because it affects everybody (takes up time, energy and resources (including my money)). She could not care less about being a mother (no mother would add children to a brood of six already). She should be put in amental institution and her kids taken from her and distributed to other couples having problems having children....
MrIndia: This women is what she is and she has to deal with it. I beg to differ with you. California and the UNITED STATES taxpayers paid for her insanity for OVER TEN YEARS. She hasn't forked over ONE PENNY for the care of her 14 children!!!!!!
She, and others like her, are leeches and scourges on American society.
Seriously? Are we still focused on a mother that is STILL unemployed, and is STILL supporting her children from money earned in media scrutinies? This is retarded and ridiculous! Why doesn't she get a real job? I don't care about her "new" body either! I understand that she's been working hard to get that weight off, but to show her body off in a MAGAZINE when she has young children? Is she stupid?
I highly doubt that she's cured those stretch marks. Last time I checked with a doctor, skin creams could only do so much. I have a feeling that the magazine digitally removed the stretch marks from her body! THERE IS NO CURE FOR STRETCH MARKS! ONLY TIME CAN HELP GET RID OF THEM!
Even time does not help stretch marks!! No, this bimbo had help from a knife and a surgeon!! At the expense of her kids! Maybe that's why we haven't seen or heard from her in months...she's been recovering!
Why is the time wasted on this freeloading whack job?
It's simple. She's an easy target and it's fun.
