is "eight enough"?

She will definitely get money through all this publicity. It was reported on TV that she was offered 2 million for an exclusive interview. No telling how much she got to go on '60 minutes'. Then the photos- she is going to be well off. Also there are some websites that claims to be collecting money for her and the kids. In addition individuals are donating baby items to her.

Think about she will get a ton of money to help take care of the kids..she will get about $2,000 per child

Shes not fooling anyone , this is the attention she wants , not only is she getting goverment checks , shes getting media attention like a circus show , even making websites to donate money , and its so over rated what she is doing its sad but i look at it on the bright side when i say " Hey theyre not my kids ! " lol

who are you talking about?

[simguy13]

We're discussing the mom with the octuplets who already had six young kids. Now total she has 14 kids, single and unemployed. She chose to do this now when the economy is bad. Too bad for us taxpayers.

I haven't followed this disaster-in-making, but I really don't believe she's still receiving government checks. She's getting plenty of money through interviews and donations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this falls under income and she's probably get more than enough to no longer qualify for any kind of government assistance.

Edit: Not that we didn't pay for the birth of these children, if Medicaid took care of it (and I have no idea how she paid for it if they didn't). It was nearly $14,000 when my mother had twins nearly twenty years ago. Can you imagine the figures on the medical bill after having 8 kids?

i think shes crazy... to much time consuming problems with so many kids

[lily15]

i think its insane. how can she go to a doctor to make her have 8 kids when she can barely afford to have the 6 already. she lives in a tiny *bleep* home wtf is she gonna do now. and the bum doesnt even have a home. poor kids will end up for adoption. very sad.

I really think that there should be a reasonable limit on the number of kids a family can have. I think it's a little ridiculous to have any more than 5.

[whatupkiddo]

does she have enough money to support that many?...
