Octo+6 House: What a Dump

By dcmediagirl on February 9, 2009 at 7:02 AM in Current Affairs

Octomom’s mom has had enough:

The mother of the woman who used a fertility doctor to give birth to octuplets, despite already having six young children, called her daughter’s actions “unconscionable” in an interview posted online Sunday.

Angela Suleman is caring for the six older children while her daughter is hospitalized after giving birth Jan. 26 to the octuplets.

“She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this?” Angela Suleman said in the videotaped interview with celebrity news Web site RadarOnline.com. “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.”

And the plot thickens:

Nadya Suleman, a divorced single mother, told NBC’s “Today” show that the same fertility specialist provided in-vitro fertilization for all 14 of her children.

Angela Suleman seemed to contradict that account, saying the fertility specialist who helped her daughter give birth to the octuplets was a different doctor from the one who aided in the birth of her first six children.

Bonus: Grandma says she hasn’t seem dime one of Octomom’s insurance settlement for rent or childcare. So Supermom Nadya Suleman is a deadbeat, a spoiled, irresponsible child trapped in a perpetually pregnant woman’s body. And it needs to be said: Haven’t we seen houses like this before? Except usually the occupant is a crazy woman living with 100 cats.

This is not meant to be a slam on the grandparents, who are doing the best that they can under extremely difficult circumstances despite being dissed by their daughter in public (“dysfunctional childhood” my fanny).

You can see pictures of the trashed house here.

It seems difficult to believe that Child Services will not intervene at some point. The house is a mess. There is no room for 8 infants, 6 children and 3 adults in that house. Unless Octomom hits the motherload of endorsements or lands the big money interview she craves, there is no way in hell that this overwhelmed family can look after all the children.
