Any story involving humans and “octuplets” makes my head spin, but this really leaves me scratching my head:
The mother of a woman who gave birth on Monday to octuplets said her daughter already has six children at home and was undergoing fertility treatment.
Fertility treatment, when you already have six children?
I really don’t think fertility is a problem for her… and please, don’t tell me this bizarre, totally unnatural event was paid for with anything other than cash from their personal funds.
Madness.
On the bright side:
She’s finally on her way to realizing her dream of being the coach of a baseball team.
Or, maybe she just wants her own TV show on TLC.
(Must. refrain. from. making. jokes. involving. litters.)

Don’t you mean owner?

I don’t know about the “event”, but apparently the woman, who is unemployed, is hoping to attract her own TV special. (Sometimes I hate it when I am right.)

This story has been making me crazy for days. There have to have been some ethical issues w/that doctor for starters and three of her first six have health issues. People are so angry at her mother for saying “I’m outta here” but her parents lost THEIR house trying to help her w/the six she already had. The entire story is horrendous, and yes, the public money issue is a big one. However, the well being of these babies needs to be paramount and I just do not see how a woman who is clearly in need of psychiatric help (rather than fertility treatments, or the latest, possible plastic surgery) can possibly be a good parent to all these poor kids. That doc needs to have his license yanked IMHO.
