I watched it. She looked terrible. She mumbled and made no sense. She admits she shouldn't have had the babies, but she's delusional. She claims she won't ask for govt assistance. I think that would be the best thing to do for the babies. I liked that Suzi called her out. She lied over and over. I kept thinking that the richest woman in the world, sitting next to her, could help her and the kids. There's no point in trying to punish her for having 14 kids. That horse has left the barn. Now it's a matter of raising 14 kids and she needs help, badly.

A link to the story is below. From the article: The woman, who has three adult children already, is around five months pregnant, and has been admitted to hospital where she is expected to remain until the birth, the Los Angeles Times reports. It is understood that Dr Kamrava transferred at least seven embryos, made from donor eggs, into the woman. Fertility guidelines recommend that no more than five embryos should be transferred into IVF patients over the age of 40 snip The LA Times reports that the 49-year old expectant mother has three adult children, but wanted a baby with her new husband, who is believed to be almost 20 years her junior. Thank goodness there is a husband/father in the picture, and that he is young enough to be energetic and hopefully a lot of help to this older mom. Yes...that doctor needs stopped, and soon!

I don't mean to begrudge the children. For me, it's the means of getting them here. Yes, they're here, and they are the innocents in this. As gwanny2three said, helping the babies is rewarding the mom and playing right into her plan (at least what her plan has seemed to be). I don't doubt that she loves her children, at least in some way. But it's that she is seemingly holdig her "plight" over everyone's head to get charity dollars, when it is she that willinging and knowingly chose her plight. Yes, the children are the pawns. It's a very, very difficult situation and I am very sensitive to the children. But I will not donate to her. I was raised to make decisions knowing that it was up to me to deal with the results of those decisions. It made me mature very young, but I will tell you that I blame no one but myself when I do something irresponsible (which is rare, but I'm human). I take full responsibility and deal with it. I also don't have a lot of sympathy for "the poor grandmother". She's been rewarding her daughter's bad behavior for some time. But yes, she loves her daughter and cannot turn her grandchildren away - I understand that. But again, that's her choice. And here is octomom living with her awful parents who raised her in such a dysfunctional environment, and she's trusting the care of her beloved 14 children to those very people. Huh? I contribute to charities regularly and I also travel to other places at least annually to actively help people who need help. All I mean by that is to say that I am not selfish or heartless. I am very, very proactive in helping people who are making some effort to help themselves or those who are doing the best they can. This woman is neither of those. Suzieque

I was so disgusted at the way she kept yelling her Mom down. I wondered if she had likely done it her whole life and her mother just let her get by being disrespectful like that. I wanted to back hand her! I 'think' Oct mom is supposed to be on Dr Phil tomorrow. Dr Phil said that while donations 'might' be a good thing that as irresponsible as she was there was no guarantee that any donated $$ would ever benefit all those little children.
