must be nice to be able to sit back and collect because you are "disabled"

also to collect for your children and get foodstamps all while using fertility treatment to get pg again. Lets just add 8 babies to the states tab.
This really angers me

JOEBunny · February 2009

I would really like to know who the doctor is who did the IVF. He should have his license revoked. To implant a 32 year old with 8, who is "disabled" and already has 6 children is blatant malpractice. I wonder if she has filed that lawsuit yet.

kevschickee2 · February 2009

I agree in people they said that the dr implanted 6 and 2 split. Either way she should have had 0 implanted since she cant afford her other children

DandelionMom · February 2009

Did she end up getting paid for these interviews?

kevschickee2 · February 2009

I dont know all I saw was the article about the food stamps and all of the disability checks she gets for her kids and herself

CleoKitty · February 2009

I totally agree that the woman is a nutcase and has clearly made some very poor choices, but I hardly think that her life must be nice. Generally speaking, you don't live a?particularly?"nice" life living off of disability and food stamps. Have you seen the tiny house she shares with her 6 kids and her parents? No thanks- not for me. I'm all about living modestly, but even I wouldn't want to live that kind of a lifestyle. I can't imagine how stressful it must be just feeding your kids and trying to get by, even with the assistance she receives. Not the way I'd want to live life at all.?

And I love how she goes on national television and says that she refuses to go on welfare.

um, hello dumshit, you ARE on welfare you freaking liar.

she created this life its not like she got pg by accident. Must be nice that she can be handed things when the rest of us WORK for it. Mybe she should keep her legs closed and quit adding to the states burden.

All of that would be fine and dandy if she hadn't just CHOSEN to have EIGHT MORE kids.

jessicaclare · February 2009

I feel sorry for her, not because of the life that she's chosen, but because she clearly has some mental issues that have led her to make these choices. Mostly, I feel bad for her children, who are most likely being forced into a life of neglect and pverty because their mother didn't get enough love as a child.

Its a sad situation, and its even more sad that the doctor that performed these IVF's didn't make her go to counseling before recklessly implanting her with 6 embryos.

A&C, come on now, lets be fair. She only chose to have SIX more kids.

GAH!

CleoKitty · February 2009

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, A&C...? Like I said, I think she's a nut job and has made very poor choices. All I'm saying is that I don't think that she's living the life of a welfare queen, sitting back and enjoying her life while not working for any of it. I suspect her life is far from that- it's probably pretty miserable and stressful, and it looks as though she has inadequate housing for her children. That just doesn't seem that nice to me, that's all. Anyone who thinks that is "nice" must not have very high standards.?

I agree completely.

kevschickee2 · February 2009

cleo what I am saying is it must be nice to have what you need just handed to you like food, probably rent money to give her parents, Im guessing health insurance since she is unemployed and money for her so called disability. Why should she be able to get all of this? Yes so I say it again it must be nice to be given money for being a lazy piece of crap

Amanda&Chris · February 2009

I don't think Kevs meant nice, like fancy lifestyle nice, more like she isn't really suffering any repercussions for her actions. At least not yet. And her kids will certainly be the ones who suffer.

And my point was, I would be more sympathetic to your point that she had a difficult and stressful life if she hadn't knowingly added to her burden and used what money she did have to make her life even more difficult.

Just to be clear, she doesn't really have my sympathies. I'm just saying that I don't envy her at all and would never want to live that kind of lifestyle. Her difficult and stressful life seems to be a direct result of her poor choices. ?

Her children, however, do have my sympathy. And I can empathize with them as well- although it's not nearly as extreme, I'm the oldest of eight kids and my parents kept on popping us out even though they couldn't afford us, even though my father was disabled and we were on various forms of welfare at times, even though their marriage was horrible, even though my mother really didn't even like children very much. Yes, the children certainly have my empathy. ?

co18co · February 2009

I think that it has to take a sad, idiotic person to make the choices she's made for herself. She has severe mental problems, and I feel very sad for all 14 of those children.

wellfleet04 · February 2009

Ditto feeling sorry for her kids. None of them are getting the life they deserve.

SMHWife · February 2009

I am about to watch the special... I'll probably be pissed off after i watch it.

I'm going to ditto this. Exactly this.

Cleo, I'm sorry to hear that. And it does sound like you can empathize with the children better than most. However, to me it sounded like you were defending the mom and her choices, that is what I was disagreeing with.

EMT · February 2009

Can I as a citizen of CA sue that doctor? She's clearly a nutjob but the doc's obviously no brainiac either. I feel like she's impaired and making her a mother again was reprehensible.
