Octomom Expresses Regret

Love this quote:

"I screwed my life up, I screwed my kids' lives up."

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for her. She made her bed, she needs to lie in it.

As I continue to watch this video, I'm wondering where the rights of the sperm donors are? She said that she froze the embryos and then later used them without his consent. And now she is trying to use the kids to rope him in. This makes me wonder why he gave the sperm to begin with.

What an Octo-nutcase she is

 

[OctMtnWoods]

I thought we were done having to watch or hear from her.

Isn't she getting her own reality TV show?

Yes, but the good thing is I think it only going to be shown overseas!!!

 

[cajunlace]

She is jealous of Jon and Kate.

UGH!

We will be licensed soon for Foster/Adopt. We are in the same county as Octo-Nut. I keep thinking...what if the kids get taken away and we end up with one? Not ready for that kind of press! LOL!!

I only feel for her kids though. They did not ask for this mess and she needs to get real therapy and clean the mess up. I'm just afraid she's too delusional to truly "get it".

I think a better headline might be "Octomom regrets not having slept in weeks!"

Yeah, I have no sympathy for her. Immense sympathy for those kids. I don't think she really feels she screwed up her life. More like, she's sorry it didn't turn out as she had planned. She had expected to be welcomed like Kate & Jon with a TV show.

She's very crafty about publicly knowing to say the right thing, even if she doesn't really believe it, (because she later contradicts herself.) Or in her delusions, she always has an excuse or reason for what she did. So she was "right" at the time. And that's the main problem, she always thinks she's right at the time. Even later, if she does realizes she was wrong, her need to explain herself is part of why she can't grow. She can't see past herself & her delusions. On some level, she doesn't really think she did wrong. If she wasn't closely monitored, she'd be off doing her crap again.

If you watched her interviews with Dr. Phil and how she talked a mile a minute and twisted stuff around, she even had Dr. Phil in circles, not knowing what to address first. That's part of her craftyness. She's very intelligent, in terms of twisting things to confuse other people so that they can't really address her.

She will always fog and agree with what was said, then you catch her contradicting herself when she slips & says what she really means. Then, she apologises and says what she knows is expected of her again.

I actually do have empathy for her. It isn't exactly revealing in that particular clip, but in the others we have seen, since she came on the scene, etc, she really is an inept person. She doesn't have the skills to conduct her own life and now she is responsible for all of these children. The person who is responsible for this situation is the so called "physician" who implanted the embryos. It was at the very least, medically irresponsible and left, what seems like a woman with a borderline type personality, caring for innocent children.

I agree. I don't get the impression that she's making decisions from a rational place, and absolutely the doctor bears responsibility for what should have been a detached, impartial medical decision on his part and for not going along with her ill-advised emotionally driven desires.
