Octomom Nadya Suleman Could Lose Her House...And So Could Her Children - Page 3
I've really thought about this thing since the whole foreclosure news came out, and I've come to this conclusion: As I see it, to help the children, there are two choices; you take them away, or you help the mother.
Now, before you get out the stones, let me explain: By that statement, I do not mean that we should be blindly handing over money, houses, cars, goods, and television contracts to a woman who is clearly mentally incapable of grasping that there is no way you can take care of what is essentially a small daycare center on a child psychology paycheck and still pay back $50,000 in student loans and still have enough to pay medical bills and buy food, let alone buy things like clothing and furniture and laundry soap and Christmas presents. I mean, this is a woman who, despite the fact that her mother's home is in foreclosure, is dropping fifteen bucks on a MAC lipgloss (I got news for you, Nadya...e.l.f. makes a great gloss and they only cost a dollar). I guess one must look good for one's public, to brave death threats and come out of hiding for cosmetics. But she clearly doesn't have any concept of...well, anything, and handing her blank checks could be disastrous. She clearly lives in Nadyaland, seems to be narcissistic, comes across as manipulative, and she obviously has a limited ability to think things through (makes me think she's ADD as well).
It's been speculated that she is mentally ill or, at the very least, psychologically imbalanced. I'd throw my two cents in and say that she seems to be hoarding children in much the same way Angelina Jolie seems to, using them to create an alternate world replacing her dysfunctional upbringing.
Let's face it...it's a bit of a good mom-feeling to have a little helpless baby look up at you with unconditional love and think you are the best thing ever. But when that wears off and mom isn't the center of the universe any more, all too often some women crave that feeling. So, they have another kid. And another. And another.
However, all that aside, what matters now is that the children are here. There are six children already at home, three of whom already have varying degrees of disabilities. We don't know as of yet what special care the octuplets will require. All the children need food, clothing, medicine, a home to live in, and somewhere to sleep. Yes, the state could step in and just take them away, but they'd have to have really, really good reasons and evidence. However, that may or may not happen, and in the meantime you've got innocent kids in the crossfire who may not have any sort of chance at a normal life if things continue as they are. And, as long as they live at home, how does one help the children if one does not also help the mother?
