I agree about the compensation for interviews but without proof that she actually had work done, I'm not going to assume she's shelling out $ for botox injections. As far as the nails, why does it matter. Maybe a friend gave her a GC for a manicure to use after the pregnancyI really don't know her financial situation, or who has given her what gifts or help and I think its funny that the public just assumes certain things. As long as we continue to wonder, assume and think we know she will continue to have interviews "to set the record straight" and eventually she will be profiting bigtime from this whole mess. I haven't watched a single interview and I don't plan on it either. I hope there are alot of others that feel the same.
The taxpayers of California have already been handed a bill for nearly $1 million dollars for the birth and hospital care of her babies and they aren't even out of the hospital yet. Add to that the fact that as high risk preemies, those children will almost certainly receive EI Services plus additional health care, provided by the lovely State of California. They will also probably be receiving food stamps and SSI, like her other disabled children. There's a high probability for it.And she's opening herself up for comments..not sure how smart that is. Of course she's already looking for donations too....what a surprise.
How do you all pay for your cars, or your WDW vacations, or your dinners out, or hairdressers? Do you all pay cash up front or do many of you have a balance on your CC every month that you don't pay? I don't expect to know these things or have any right to and this woman is no different. If she is a mentally and financially incapable of raising her family she will get help.
Are you serious? Why is it our business?The taxpayers of California have already been handed a bill for nearly $1 million dollars for the birth and hospital care of her babies and they aren't even out of the hospital yet.

EXCEPT --- California is already bankrupt and in Congress asking for a bailout. Sow wait NO ... WE ALL GET THE PLEASURE OF PAYING FOR THIS!!! YAY US!!!!
Hmmm, we have jobs and don't have children if we have no way of supporting them.

If you have a problem with this woman getting assisitance then you need to take that up with your state officials. Regardless, it still doesn't give anyone the right to be privy to her personal finances. She doesn't need to explain where she got the money to pay for the alleged botox and plastic surgery at least not to anyone here on the DIS anyway.
How silly of me to forget that everyone commenting on this woman's life, is perfect![]()
She stated that he was completely attached to her but he was there wandering and didn't seem to be that attached to her.After the new mom stated which child was autistic, I kinda kept my eye on him (during the Dateline interview) and he seemed so lost as he wandered around that room as others were either coloring, doing puzzles or jumping off the furniture...yup, he seemed lost to me.What will happen to him when he becomes ONE of FOURTEEN................?

And you get to decide that nobody is allowed to talk about her personal finances because.................................
Help me out here, can't think of a reason.![]()
Seriously, nobody would know squat about this woman if it were not what she has done. Nobody forced her into this desperate situation, she walked right into it on her own free will and then handed the bill for the consequences off to the Public. You just don't do that and then expect the right to "privacy." When you start asking the taxpayers to foot the bill, you give up those rights -- whether you're a California Mom of Octuplets or a Merrill Lynch Executive, start asking the Taxpayers for money and the Taxpayers are going to start wondering how the money is being spent.
