Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Wow....28 kids.....I am a childcare provider with a class b registration. I can take care of 7 children plus my own 2. My own kids are not counted in the enrollment because they are over 6. In the summertime when school is out I usually have 9 kids including my own. I can have 3 infants under 18 months a 4th infant 18-24 months and 3 other children over 24 months plus my 2. Most childcare providers charge 125 a week under 24 months and 110 if they are over 24 months. In the day care I took care of 4 infants all under 18 months. We usually work in pairs. 2 of us took care of 8 infants and it was a 10 hour a day job. It paid 7.50 an hour. The day care charged the parents 225 a week. I spend time with each child individually everyday. I really do not think that she planned on having octuplets. I had invitro and I took a chance of having triplets. I did this after I had been advised by the doctors that I could probably not carry triplets, Knowing that for me selective reduction was not something I could do, it only takes 1. The odds do not go up that much with more embryos. I think that the more opportunities you have the better your chances. We tried 2 the first time because we had a poor response. Our second cycle was cancelled. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th time we tried with 3 each time. It worked on the 4th try and the 5th try. We had 2 singletons. I do not usually count the second cycle because we had to cancel before we had ivf. This woman took a big chance. I think she did it because she wanted to have twins. We all make mistakes in our judgement. We may all have our own ideas of what a perfect family is. We can't all be perfect. **************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. AOL Music takes you there.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Those of us from large families that had good parents did not grow up as a number, and I doubt these kids will either. i am the youngest of my father's 28 kids and I was not and am not a number. None of my 4 children are a number. In a way, I sympathize with what this woman is going through as far the comments from outsiders. I am 23 with 4 kids, ranging from 5 to as yet unborn. And I have been called every single thing that this woman has been called, publicly at least. bad decision making maybe, irresponsible, maybe. Unfit parenting, no. Harmful to the kids, not if they do it right. I don't really believe that people should have litters, but I also don't think that it should be worthy of death threats and harassment if one does.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I don't want to sound harsh, but just your word usage here as calling a large family " the brood " Is just so VERY insulting. Truly-- do you realize that? Having a large family is a lot of work, without a doubt, and it's not for everyone, that's obvious, but to say " the brood " in this sort of way-- it's just demeaning to children who come from a large family. EVERY SINGLE one of my 8 children is a blessing from God, and I treasure them highly, so when I hear someone refer to *ANY* child as part " of a brood " -- it just raises the hackles on my skin!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well, I'm not sure what the problem is with a grandparent helping out in the care of the children-- I call that being a family.

The Duggars (Jim Bob) was even in politics in their state. I'm truly not understanding what you're implying.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Now we're really getting off-topic, but I had to jump in ... In Vietnam where I was born, it's customary for family members to address each other by a title and the birth order. For example, my oldest brother would be Anh Hai ( " Anh " means " older brother. " and " Hai " means " number two. " However, this does not mean he is the second born child. There's this little legend about how a demon would seek to eat the first born child of every family, and therefore, the Vietnamese don't label any child with the number one). Within my family, however, we call each other by our given name, either " Theresa " my baptismal name, or " Cam-Ngoc, " which translates to " Precious Jade. " A rose by any other name ... And being Catholics in a third-world country, my parents did have a large family. Their best gift to me is all my brothers and sisters, who are my best friends.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thank you Rita for wise words. Some of you have personalized this. But we shouldn't be defending " large families " or " in vitro " as if that's the issue because to me this isn't about large families, or about in vitro. To me this is also not about a single unemployed woman who had sex and " whoops " got pregnant again and this time ended up having 8 more babies on top of another 6. This is a doctor assisted and planned by the mother event -and it's clear to me one that the grandmother, the one raising the 6 children of the unemployed mother, is and has been against. So some here think they know more than her? We have to all step back and look at reality of her situation which is not any of ours. The danger of what the doctor did implanting that many babies into this woman is just one of many things that have to be looked at. Based on the photos of the house that Kate just posted I think someone needs to call DYFS for the 6 children she already has. Some say one of the original 6 children has autism but some report that she's collecting food stamps and disability for 3 of the 6 children (even though they don't mention the special needs of the other 2) " Octuplets' mom Nadya Suleman on food stamps, three older kids receive disability assistance " http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/02/octo-mom-nadya.html Perhaps we can all just wait and let the dust settle so the facts can all come out. And speaking of facts -why not listen to the family who is raising the 6? Here's the grandmother's words (PS the grandmother, , is a retired school teacher) Grandma Blasts Octuplet Mom: " Nadya's Not Capable " Suleman inside her home, which is already cramped with 6 children. " The truth is Nadya's not capable of raising 14 children. " The mother of the woman who gave birth to octuplets recently is speaking exclusively to RadarOnline.com and says her daughter's actions are " unconscionable. " All of Nadya Suleman's children have been conceived with in vitro fertilization. The comments from Nadya's mother are adding fuel to the growing controversy that has already sparked an investigation by the California Medical Board into the circumstances surrounding implantation of six embryos into a woman with six children. When Nadya, 33, decided to be implanted with multiple embryos, was stunned. She told RadarOnline.com: " I was very upset. She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this? " To have them all is unconscionable to me. She really really has no idea what she's doing to her children and to me. " Nadya lives with , a retired teacher, and says Nadya contributes no money to the support of her own children. Eight people - soon to be 16 - are cramped into a small three-bedroom house and fed in shifts. RadarOnline.com obtained exclusive photos inside the house, photos that are bound to raise more questions about Nadya's ability to care for so many children and a RadarOnline.com reporter described the interior as " filthy " , with food on the walls. " How she's going to cope, I don't know, " told RadarOnline.com about her daughter. " I'm really tired of taking care of the six children and need her to think about how she'll provide for all these children. " told RadarOnline.com that Nadya turned her boyfriend into a sperm donor for all 14 kids, but refused to marry him. " He was in love with her and wanted to marry her, " said . " But Nadya wanted to have children on her own. " Nadya was so determined to have children, she first became pregnant at 16, told RadarOnline.com. She miscarried, said , and discovered she had blocked fallopian tubes. said that she and Nadya's father, Ed, begged one doctor not to implant any more embryos in Nadya, who already had six children. But Nadya found another doctor to implant six embryos, and two split, resulting in eight more babies. That doctor's decision to perform the in vitro has left the octuplets grandmother furious. " I'm really angry about that, " she told RadarOnline.com. also voiced her anger over Nadya's claim she was raised in a dysfunctional family and was lonely as a child. " We raised her in a loving family and her father always spoiled her, " said. " The truth is that Nadya hasn't worked since she started having her children, " , charged, " while Ed and I battled to pay her bills. " Nadya promised to help me with the bills, but she never has. I lost a house because of it and now I'm struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there's children's clothing piled all over the house.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Theresa- your post reminded me of the Thai Dam (not sure that is how to spell it) There is a section in our cemetary and there are always fresh flowers there. You can smell them from very far away. When I visit my mother in laws grave I always go to that section to see all the pretty flowers and how the graves are decorate. Hope that does not sound morbid or anything like that. I like a lot of cultural things. My phillipino friends love to cook for me. I am an eighth blackfoot and my grandma kept the government issued blanket that was issued to our family. I know this is off the topic.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 No comment on the Angelina bit. Since I don't remember seeing it said yet (and PLEASE don't cause it to start an autism debate), I really wonder how it will affect views on autism based on her children's development. Same parents, same environment (to a point) - how many children will have delays? If all of them are vx'ed, but only 3/14 end up with autism, maybe another 2 with other dev. delays, will that change views on the roots of these issues?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I agree . No matter how many children it's children and not a litter. I posted this filed complaint to share the concern is not about large families but about this mother. Number 14 talks about the special needs of 3 of the 6 children she already has. One of them is autistic and another has ADHD and another has a speech delay. Based on what we know from this group -one with autism and one with ADHD...what are the odds given the siblings that the one with the speech delay has just a simple delay in speech? In this group we know from history that the child " with the speech delay " probably won't get the appropriate placement and therapy without someone pushing to find out why. What is the reason, the diagnosis? Do they even know what apraxia is for example? Who's going to be the voice for that one little child with the " speech delay " ? To the world -the child with the " speech delay " is probably the one that needs the least attention. I do hope the world is right because from this group we know it's probably harder at times because the world knows so little about what is appropriate for our children so it's up to us- the parents and advocates of these children -to help bring them a voice. " 14. It is an extremely difficult task to raise 6 children, aged 2 to 7, and provide them with enough love and attention, no less meeting all of their basic needs. Indeed, Ms. Suleman has relied upon her mother's help for this. The task is made even more difficult because one child is autistic, one has ADHD and one has a speech delay. Each of these `special needs' children need special attention, attention that is hard to find when there are 5 other siblings – no less 8 more babies.

But this is from a doctor that from what I read hasn't even met her and he does being up the number of children a lot in there and not being able to take care of them. Just analyzed her interviews. That to me is a crock. I'm sorry. You can't fully understand someone from a tv interview. Which is why jurors aren't allow to see news reports. They only let you see what the media wants to you see. I've heard so many conflicting reports about this family I can't tell which end is up. I personally know someone whose life was almost ruined because someone who had no clue what was really going on called child services. That's why this bothers me so much. So my point is its a five page report from someone who has NEVER met her. How would any of is like it if someone made a complaint like this about us without ever meeting us.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 oh puhlease though-- seriously-- if half of us had more than 2-3 kids, I wonder how many here would be suspected for child abuse? I'm a mother to 8 kids who I HOME SCHOOL-- which for that alone, some people may suspect child abuse and feel that kids NEED socialization so they are abused being home schooled. I also choose not to vaccinate-- and THAT might also be someone's opinion of child neglect or abuse thinking that I'm doing harm by not vaxxing. I could go on and on-- because it's such a subjective thing-- Who was the report filed by, and WHEN was it filed? Is this all of a sudden being filed AFTER the Octuplets were born and people are just dying to get these kids away from this woman? I mean think about it-- people WANT her to fail, so they will be doing all they can to take her down. sorry-- but I'm just really suspicious of most things that the media reports these days.

It was based on the Psychologist evaluating NEWS INTERVIEWS and REPORTs-- it wasn't based on HER OWN evaluation or examination of this woman in person.

My question was " did everyone see this FIVE PAGE complaint " There are some serious allegations in it and I thought this complaint made it clear this situation has nothing to do with large families as it had to do with the safety and well being of the special needs and other (many other) children -and there you go bringing it back to large families. That wasn't the point- and it's STILL not the point! ugh. **************Need a job? Find an employment agency near you.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 See- this is one of my points-- ANY PERSON-- professional or otherwise, if they compare a woman giving birth to human lives to animals having litters-- that's just WRONG and-- well, is quite telling about them as a person, too, I think. I've heard the term " litters " several times in reference to this woman-- and I think it's a DISGUSTING term used when talking about a human being giving birth.
