Octo-Mom rant!
Tony likes to debate and we got in to a bit of a debate the other week over the octo-mom. Did the doctors have an obligation to question and/or refuse to impregnate her again? She is getting government help to support her children on top of it not being safe to implant 6 embryos at a time. I told him that I thought they should have.
Now with the newest development of the mortgage not getting paid and they might be out of a home and nowhere to go with her 14 kids. She hasn’t paid the mortgage in 10 months. So basically when she was going through the fertility treatments and got pregnant with her 8 kids, she was not paying her bills. She was STRUGGLING but at the same time in a fertility doctor’s office getting implanted to have more kids. She couldn’t financially take care of the 6 she already had. WTH!
I mean here’s the way I see it:
Tony and I can conceive naturally so obviously no one will question us but if at anytime someone questions the safety of our home life and the safety of our children, DCFS can come and investigate us and potentially take our kids. An adoptive parent has to go through a long verification process before being approved to care for a orphaned child. The octo-mom’s doctor had to have known a little about her personal life, how many kids she already had and should very well have refused her fertility treatment. I believe it is/was his obligation as a doctor to question the well being of the 6 children she already has, let alone the well being of the child(ren) he was going to give her.
I mean in all actuality, in a round about sort of way he is already supporting this woman’s children. He is a wealthy tax payer so does he want to continue to support her additional children?
I am just so DISGUSTED with this woman. How did she pay for her fertility treaments to begin with? Maybe that is why her mortgage wasn’t paid, she used the money to pay for her fertility treatments, got implanted with 6 embryos with the hopes of having multiple children so people can pay for her to “tell her story” and possibly get a TV deal like Jon and Kate plus 8 and then she wouldn’t have to worry about money and the fact her bills were not getting paid. I mean that is the only logical reason for her thinking it was ACCEPTABLE to have more children than she can already afford as a single mother.
They ask on some of the sites about whether I/you would watch a reality show about her and I would say ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I just need to stop now, I am getting all worked up about something I can’t do anything about. I just hope for the sake of those children, she either gets her SHIT together or someone takes those kids from her and places them in a home with someone that can care for them emotionally, physically and financially.
