Octuplet Grandmother....WOW!

[Stacerita]

According to Nightline, the house belongs to the parents. In fact, they played a piece from an interview where Nayda thanked her parents for letting them live with them. The mother said they had never received any rent or any financial help from Nayda at all. In fact, she knew that her daughter had received some type of financial settlement, but never knew how much it was until she heard it on the news. Nayda never used it for anything such as food, although she does like to buy expensive toys for the kids.

That mother is something else.

According to earlier interviews, Nadya's father is planning on going back to Iraq where he worked in construction or something, and working there. So that leaves only her mother to help her. But Nadya is relying on her church and her friends to come through and help out. And she says God will provide.

It bothers me when people say that.

Spokesman says octuplets mom receives food stamps
By SHAYA TAYEFE MOHAJER, AP

LOS ANGELES -The California mother of octuplets already receives food stamps and disability payments to help feed and care for her six other children.
Publicist Mike Furtney said Monday that Nadya Suleman receives $490 a month in food stamps.
She also receives disability payments for three of her six previous children, but Suleman did not want to disclose the nature of her children's disabilities or the nature of those payments.
In an interview that aired Monday, Suleman told NBC "Today" show anchor Ann Curry that she does not receive welfare.
Suleman's octuplets were born Jan. 26 in a Los Angeles area hospital.
Furtney says that in Suleman's view, the payments are for her family's legitimate needs.

So, she could not feed the children that she already had, yet had money to have more children

I hope those babies are adopted out to loving, stable homes. She is unfit to care for them.

Just heard on GMA that the hospital were the babies where born, is asking the goverment to help pay the hospital.

MTE. God provides the good sense not to have 14 kids you can't afford to feed.

Right. It is a load of carp in this case.

If she was practicing "God's plan", she would not have done IVF.

Such a load.

It's not God that will provide, it's the government, which is already the case with her other children.

This sad unbelievable story gets weirder by the day ! Nayda claims to come from an only child, non-loving, dysfunctional home. However on top of everything else this mental case of an irresponsible mother has done, isn't it amazing she finds it acceptable to sponge off her senior parents and let them help raise her children.
She is a real piece of work ! God help those sweet little babies.

Exactly my thought.

I just need to add this incase some is looking to flame......I don't want to say that people who have infertility issues shouldn't do IVF. It just needs to be done responsibly.

Hehehe! I figure that God is a pretty smart guy and if he didn't want me to have a second child, my second IVF would have failed. I know that some people look at IVF as a bad thing because if you can't get pregnant it is God's will, but if it REALLY IS God's will, IVF isn't going to 'trick him,' ya know?

I believe the grandmother has hit the nail on the head. If I were her, I would stop caring for these children 24/7 and allow The State to come in and decide what will happen.

nicccccccccce....I would HATE for you to be my mother/grandmother...its not the kids fault...if you love someone you cant just STOP caring for them...that irritates me more than the mother having these kids

I concur.

So, do you think it was God's will for her to have 14 children she can't take care of?

I'm not refuting God's will, but I think we also have a responsibilty to make smart choices. I have PCOS and will most likely have to turn to fertility treatments. However, I will not be implanting eight embryos into my body. I will follow the recommended procedure and then leave it up to God.

 

[TnTsParty]

I don't think its so much anything bad against IVF - its a moral wrong to have IVF that many times to have that many children. Especially since she doesn't seem to have the money to pay for the 6 kids she already had let alone spending money on more and more IVF. How did she think she could even pay for one more mouth let alone 8.

Yikes - that grandmother is in between a rock and a hard place and I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. I know she says they pleaded with the dr not to implant anymore embryos but I think she could have done something sooner - but then again we will never really know because we aren't in their shoes.

 

[disneegrl4eva]

This grandmother is unbelievable. You mean to tell me she couldn't put her foot down 4 kids ago? I don't buy any of this. She is an ENABLER.

an enabler??? do you have grown kids???? I do and let me tell you its way harder having grown children than when they are small...when they turn 18 they think nothing can touch them because they know that legally you are no longer responsible for them and where the law is concerned you have limited rights...try dealing with that...cant even go get their medical records or cant be told any information at the hospital when they are there until SHE says its ok...it is not an easy pill to swallow...just because they are adults doesnt mean you dont worry and want them to have a good life...im not going to make my child suffer financially/emotionally etc. just because shes an adult...I cant turn that off like a lightswitch...sheesh people

That's the point. She loves her grand kids, but she also knows that as long as their mother is part of their lives, they are going to be used as pawns by her. I'm not saying that Nayda doesn't love them in her own bizarre way, but she is not, IMHO, in a position to give them the care they deserve.

The grandparents can only do so much for them with their mom in the picture. They are also not in a position to give them adequate care financial and emotionally.

Sometimes, the best way to show love, is to make the hard choice. In this case, I believe that putting the children in good homes, when they are still young, seems better than waiting for them to grow up as disfunctional teens when no one will be willing to take them. Yes, there is a chance that they will not have problems as they grow up, but the odds are really stacked against them.

Oh, gimme a break. Some of you really expect the grandmother to kick her own grandkids out of her home? The only home these kids have ever known? And clearly, their grandmother is more of a mother to them than their real mother. So yes, she should just look in those kids eyes and say, sorry, I know your mother is a total whack job who clearly has mental issues, but you need to leave my home right now. And sorry, you'll probably all be split up and put into foster care because clearly your mother cannot care for you.

Yeah, I'm sure that is what the grandmother should do. This poor woman.

ITA..who on this board would do that to their grandchildren. I know I would not be able to, no matter how angry I would be with my daughter.

I just could not do it.
