just looked at the you tube stuff...geesh what dingbat. Arrogant and condensending to parnets every where. Smerky.

You know, any normal mother would either be at the hospital around her newborns or at home with her OTHER 6 CHILDREN and not in a studio giving some lame 'sob' story. woo hoo look at me. Disabled my hiney.
sickening. Just sickening.
And the poor kids...their father should step out and up and help with them. After all she claims there is one father, so produce this 'friend'!! He should bear some responsibility.
gosh this makes me ill.

Like I said earlier, the woman is a walking contradiction.

Not only is she a total nut job but it looks like she had plastic surgery.
Every channel had part of that interview on last night...

I thought the same thing. Her nose & lips.

But I think she was born with the smirk...

She said she holds each new baby for 45 minutes every day... When was the last time you heard her say ANYTHING AT ALL about her love or attention she gives (?) to her other 6 kids? Has she even seen them since she went into the hospital weeks ago and since been released? I haven't heard her even mention any of them.

I think that is a good thing that the media hasn't hooned in on those children yet. I am thinking that since they are minors & the legal guardian is not around, the media has to be very careful. As they should be.

Her previous 6 have a heck of a life ahead of them. I can't even imagine.

The negative attention can be handled by an adult. Adults can hash it out.

Children cannot nor should they be expected to endure what their "mother" has brought upon them.

It's just a shame that their mother probably has the emotional capacity of a 16yr old & is not emotionally an adult.

I have a relative like this. She is 26 yet behaves & talks in the manner of a young teenager. It seriously is a condition that does have medical help available. The issue is that this woman has enabling family members as does my relative. If no one is willing to help a person like this, nothing positive happens.

There are real mental issues here. The media is only encouraging this woman as well as other woman like her who want to be in her position.

I really hope that down the line, medical intervention is provided. These children are not going to be living in a home with a mentally stable mother. That is very, very serious.

My son is at the age now where "helping" in the kitchen is very exciting. He was able to pour in the sugar, eggs, vanilla, etc & then help dry the plastic items we used. It was fun.

He had a little breakdown b/c he could have any until after dinner, but he survived

How much money would it cost to raise 14 children? What kind of job would provide that income to a single parent? If she had the education and talent to do such a job, she'd be giving up time with her children. I hope someone asks her how she thinks her plan will work.
