No, no – for the love of your holy god – NO!

The octuplets mom (and her spoats team of a family) are getting a reality TV show.

The Southern California woman who gave birth to the world’s longest-surviving set of octuplets has signed a deal to star in areality television series, her lawyer said Sunday.

Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to the six boys and two girls in January and also has six other children, agreed to be filmed for a proposed television show by 3Ball Productions, attorney Jeff Czech said.

Boy, you don’t think this was part of her master plan, do you?

I mean… she:

  • was too busy to date because of here kids
  • was too busy to manage a meaningful income so she needed to live off of her student loans
  • couldn’t give enough time to her kids so had a large number of people help her… but most of them quit

All the while:

  • she had publicist
  • appeared in high profile interviews
  • stated that she intended to PROFIT from her disabled child

So, she was too busy for life (except for gestating a few kids) but she isn’t too busy to have every aspect of her life documented for a TV. Seriously this just pisses me off beyond belief.

As if you didn’t see this coming, Nadya Suleman, the recent mother of octuplets, is looking to god for help.  Turns out that she is already having financial issues raising the six children she already had… yes, the six children she already had BEFORE the octuplets came along…  and it turns out that she is already on food stamps

The California mother of newborn octuplets said on Monday she was counting on God to help provide for her family but acknowledged that she already was “struggling” financially to raise her first six children. 

“I will feed them. I will do the best I possibly can,” Suleman said of her newly expanded family. “And in my own way, in my own faith, I do believe wholeheartedly that God will provide in his own way.”

Suleman said she also was hoping for help from “volunteers, friends and family,” adding that her mother, Angela, deserves much of the credit. “I was struggling, but it was OK … thanks to my mother,” she said.

So God will provide in his own way, huh?  

The question that no one seems to be asking is this: how can a struggling mother of 6 afford to have embryo implantation at a Beverly Hills fertility clinic?  

Fertility coverage is an option on some health insurance policies, but it seems odd that a policy would provide infertility coverage to a mother of 6, doesn’t it?  If insurance was not the method of funding for the procedure, how did a struggling mother pay for the treatment on her own?

Listen, I don’t care what someone does with their body – pump yourself full of drugs, starve yourself until moonlight can be seen through your stomach, eat until you cannot walk – but you are responsible for your actions.  I have issues when a person makes decisions about their life, and decisions that impact others, and simply expect the universe to work things out… or that they will survive on the kindness of others.

God didn’t provide these children to Nadya, Dr. Michael Kamrava of the West Coast IVF Clinic in Beverly Hills did.  So unless god is Dr. Kamrava waiting to help out Nadya out I wouldn’t bank on any other help for a supreme being.
