I am working very hard every time I see a news story on her to not hate her with every ounce of my being. I wish well for her children, that is where I am right now.

I continue to be amazed at how bold some people are, given this job market. Some people here are really pretty horrible about even appearing to do their work, not to mention the arguing with the boss. just dumb.

tommy reminds me I need to bring in a washable fork/spoon to work soon.

At this moment there are only two spoons left.

Next time you get a new box you need to grab about a hundred spoons to hoard.

That's me. I think she's beyond irresponsible, possibly into the category of child endangerment, and mentally ill. I don't think that *she* deserves one single donated diaper or offers of nanny help, and certainly not monetary dontions (or book deals, etc.).

However, those things (donations, etc.) are going to help those 8 babies, and they SO need the help, considering they have only one parent, who is mentally ill and unemployed.

Honestly? I think CPS should step in and take those poor octuplets and place them in homes with mentally healthy parents who can afford to raise them.

I know that's WAY Judgey McJudgerson of me, but for fuck's sake. The mother's selfishness is going to screw with 8 lives (not to mention the 6 kids she already has) -- when it comes to harming innocent lives, you damn bet I'm going to judge.

Maybe it would sell better if they called it "Kitten Urine."

Or "Hello Kitty Urine", maybe.

I can't imagine what the schools will think when the wave of Octomom's kids hits.

I don't care what they call it, I don't consider urine to be a viable drink option unless I'm dying of thirst in a desert where there's no other water.

Honestly, for me, maybe not even then ...

Three of OctoMom's preexisting children have disabilities.

To keep a roof over their heads, OctoMom's father is going to Iraq to be a translator. Do you know how dangerous that is?!!!

The story just gets more and more awful.

(shuffling over to the Bench of Judging)

I heard about some of OctoMom's other children having disabilities, with the state paying for some kind of help. And she herself has been getting disability payments. And foodstamps. I mean, I went through a period when I wanted a child - one, thank you - but I didn't have the resources to raise on on my own, so it never went beyond a wish. I just don't understand how someone can produce all these children, especially when having that many at one time drastically increases the chances that they'll have some kind of physical or developmental problem, and then assume that someone will provide for them.
