Octuplet Mom Nadya Suleman must be feeling like she's got the starring role in real life by Franz Kafka. Perhaps she's read "The Trial"?
She has 8 kids, on top of the 6 she already has - and the world decides it has to get into the family planning business. Well, her family planning. Just hers. Like it's anyone's business how kids she has! Last I checked the United States doesn't have a policy barring families from having more than 1 child. Heck, one guy I know is 14th of 15 kids. What's the big deal?
She received death threats - can you believe the idiocy of some?!? - and the Huffington Post links to a TMZ story about how she doesn't pay parking tickets! Goodness me! It gets worse: she had her car booted, once. Oh my - how we will cope with all the revelations about the woman?
Give her a break. She needs one. Leave her alone - how many kids she has is not your decision to make. Last I checked, we live in a free country. If she abuses the kids, fine - something can be done, then. If she's doing what she can to be a good Mom, she needs help and support - not condemnation, death threats and idiotic villification!
Too many people are more than willing to insert themselves into the lives of others. Especially when they're not invited!

I think she is crazy, how do you support 14 kids? Welfare I guess.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm not disputing her mental state - her words certainly indicate that therapy would be a good idea!
ReplyDeleteAccording to one news report - on the otherwise reputable "Anderson Cooper 360" - she is collecting welfare. (That's the thing that everyone thinks gives them them the license to criticize her.)
Hey - thanks for commenting! I recall we had a brief discussion some time ago, and then my computer crashed and I lost the address of your blog! :-)
