Octuplets’ Mother
First, I am happy that the octuplets are doing well. I pray and hope they continue to thrive and survive. That said, this rant is about the mother. I question the motives of this woman for having so many babies when she already has six young children and is unemployed. Why would she choose to have so many children when she can’t support them?
She says she loves her children and wanted more. She plans to get her education and not be a welfare mom. She claims that she didn’t do it for money. Give me a break! She did this in order to gain attention and make money by exploiting the babies. There are reports that she wanted two million dollars to appear on the Oprah Whinfrey show.
Her choice to have the babies is fine, but she shouldn't be allowed to get rich from selling her story or getting gifts because of her having so many children at once. Any money gained from the births should go into a trust strictly for the children, and the mother or other family members should not have access to it.
As a hard working taxpayer I resent this woman doing this because she will probably expect everyone else to pay for her bills. The motives of the parents in these multiple births should be examined before they are allowed to occur in the future.
