I wonder if she was offered an honest job somewhere if she would take it. Im thinking no.

Who the hell would want to baby-sit 14 friggin kids?? she would have to rent an entire day-care center just for her kids alone. In reality she should offer up some of them for adoption where they would stand a hell of a better chance at a normal life than they do now..

I'm not sure what's worse. Her, or the media for keeping her in the spotlight. I feel sorry for the kids. They're at a huge disadvantage. I pray they don't grow up like their parents.
In b4 racist comments about Hispanic families being enormous with no father and an unemployed mother.

What did she think was going to happen with this many kids? Day care can be around 10k year. Did she not do an envelope calculation for this?

We have quite a few Hispanics at the plant I work at, I haven't noticed any trend like this, if anything Hispanics seem to have a strong family bond..

Does it matter? It's irresponsible for ANY one person to have this many kids.

This is exactly why welfare should be conditional (and optimally come with free temporary castration.)

She is not Hispanic, her father is from Iraqi descent.

Is it possible that she can maybe be eligible from some of those Native American and Hawaiian kickbacks for having their homelands destroyed by USA? I'd be more than happy to give her and other Iraqi-Americans about $80k a year in benefits for the damage we caused.

Iraqis just can't get a break. First their country is destroyed and now octomom's butt is going to be destroyed by lexington steel just to pay the bills. Life is hard. Especially for those who suck at it.

She actually doesn't clothe her kids, you'd know this if you weren't so ignorant about her situation. She couldn't even make enough money to pay for a babysitter to watch 14 children, so it's silly to expect her to work. The least we can do as fellow Americans is chip in a dollar here and there so her kids have a roof over their head and she can continue to care for them. So shut up and donate.

She lives in CA, no?

CA provides a childcare benefit if you dont make enough income, no?

What is the excuse for her not working, when all the kids are in school in a couple more years?

Lets be honest, in this situation. Its not the kids keeping her from working. She just refuses/doesn't want to actually work. She hasn't legitmately worked since 1999 and she was on disability from 2002 to 2008.

Yep, she pumped out her first six kids via IVF and got pregnant via IVF with her last 8 while she was on disability. She was already beyond broke and already bankrupted her parents, but still decided to have 8 more.
