She's a conman, man

I am so angry right now.

Besides some familial issues (which we will just leave to the imagination), I watched the TV interview with the octuplet mom.

I will repost what I posted elsewhere online:

I honestly think they need to bring down the dosage on her happy pills.

To her, everything is just one big blessing. And a half-truth.

(It's not "getting your lips done," it's having a suction cup stapled to your pie hole. She claims that, even though we are not blind and can see her before and after pictures, she did not have her lips worked on. That's just one of many half-truths, but by far the most glaring and sadly hilarious.)

No one is saying to her what needs to be said: you played a gamble with children's lives by knowingly implanting 6 embryos, not just once, but over 8 times!!! She had to know that at some point she would end up with trips, quads, quints or higher. Just like at some point while playing Russian roulette, someone's gonna get the bullet. Oh, but she claims to know the statistic is something like .00000001%. Way to pull that one out of your butt!

She is a LIAR and is DELUDED.

And if I see her PET those kids one more time I'm gonna SCREAM!!! Preemies that small do NOT LIKE TO BE STROKED. They like pressure and containment, but their skin is too sensitive to handle that kind of movement. Did you see the smallest baby squirm and open his mouth when she petted him??? To him, it feels like sandpaper on a wound. They aren't PETS. They are PEOPLE.

Mike and I were both pretty livid about it, and Mike eventually left the room.

She seems to think that because she can hug her kids and love them, that that's a good enough reason to keep having them, even though she admits to having no income and living off her student loans. She says she has never been on welfare. While that's true, she forgets to mention that the $400/month in food stamps she's receiving is from the government. She says that's okay because it's need based. She claims that people are picking on her because she's a single mom. No. People pick on her because she already had a ton of kids who she was not able to support or care for on her own. She is unemployed. If a married couple did the same thing, I'd still be pissed.

And she keeps saying, "I'll be able to afford them once I'm done with school." Then why the hell didn't she wait until after she finished school to have more babies? Or at the very least, use some common sense over the last dozen IVF treatments and limit the number of transfered embryos to 2 or 3?

I wish I could say I feel better, but I'm still pissed. This woman should be locked up.
