Octomom
Usually I would leave this alone, essentially beating a dead horse on this issue. However since she appeared on my t.v. screen via the Wendy show a few minutes ago, why not say a little something about this fuckery. And before I get flamed into the depths of hell let me say upfront I have no problems with i.v.f. or any other medical treatments involving infertility. Infertility is a private hell that I would not wish on anyone. I have much respect for the women that go through this and travel that hard road of trying to conceive. It is a heartbreaking, emotional roller coaster ride that never ends.
That out of the way, I absolutely, 100% do not support the Octomom. Its been 3 years and I am still stunned at the whole mess. On this show she said that every time she has had i.v.f. she had 6 embryos transferred each and every time she got i.v.f. So four times a doctor did this. Again I know just a little about i.v.f. but from what I know a RE doctor (a good one) would not do this because the potential of a huge cluster fuck like I dunno 8 babies being conceived. I am still trying to get over what doctor would do i.v.f on her to begin with. She already had 6 kids, unemployed, and was divorced. Okay the last one is not really an issue because if you choose i.v.f. without being married or in a committed relationship that's your decision and I am not the one to push my views on how or why someone wants to have their child. How in the hell did this woman afford to even do the i.v.f. treatments 4 times, I am still trying to this figure out. Its takes alot of money and she is unemployed. So where did this money come from.....and wouldn't it have been better spent on the 6 kids she already had in this world.
However my most favorite part was when she was trying to convince us that she didn't have any cosmetic surgery after the birth of the babies. Yeah hmmm....try again. I had twins and even if I work out everyday for the rest of my life, the aftermath of that pregnancy will be here with me. So lady your not going to convince me after having 8 kids your belly went back completely flat without surgical help. If you believe that I got some prime land down in the Everglades complete with pet gators I want to sell you at affordable prices.
If you want a large family hey, I say go for it long as you can afford it and the kids are healthy, happy individuals. Because at the end of the day the kids are the one to either prosper or suffer for the decisions the parents make. I come from a semi-large family, and I love my siblings to death, but in no way, shape, or form should my mother had all us kids when she did. She was not ready to set aside her life and be a "mom". Don't get me wrong I love my mother to death, and has been been a huge support for me, but it wasn't always so. I had a horrible childhood, not afraid to admit to that. My own mother will tell you that herself. I wasn't the easiest teenager in the world myself, but that is a story for another day. Parenthood is not for the meek, nor mild. It is crazy, wild, and filled with happiness and joys. However it is NOT for everyone.
