Well she finally speaks which I knew she would. They must have finally met her price. She said that growing up as an only child made her want a ‘huge family’. Well that’s what she has for sure now.
The Southern California woman who gave birth to octuplets last week told TODAY’s Ann Curry in an exclusive interview that growing up as an only child, she had always dreamed of having “a huge family.” She also denied charges that she was irresponsible to have so many babies – especially with six other children already at home.
“People feel, you know, this woman is being completely irresponsible and selfish to bring these children in the world without a clear source of income and enough help to raise them,” Curry told Nadya Suleman in a segment that aired Friday on TODAY. “The world outside is saying, ‘What are you doing?’ ”
“I know I’ll be able to afford them when I’m done with my schooling,” the 33-year-old single mom replied. Calm, poised and articulate in the glare of the media spotlight, Suleman added: “If I was just sitting down watching TV and not being as determined as I am to succeed and provide a better future for my children, I believe that would be considered, to a certain degree, selfish.”
I still say the doctors should have to claim some responsibility in this case. They should have to help support these 8 babies for sure so the rest of us don’t have to. Was she selfish? Who am I to say who couldn’t have children of her own? There are so many children out there without families, why didn’t she adopt? Then no one could have called her selfish for sure.
