The mother\u00a0of octuplets through fertalization treatments recieved when she already had six children is now accepting donations online<\/a>.\u00a0 In a recent interview the mother\u00a0said:<\/p>\n

\n

“I’m providing myself to my children,” Nadya Suleman told NBC in her first interview. “I’m loving them unconditionally, accepting them unconditionally, everything I do. I’ll stop my life for them and be present with them and hold them and be with them. And how many parents do that?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, gosh Ms. Suleman, almost every mother and father I know have that ambition for themselves when starting a family, including my own.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The single mother of six who lives with her parents and then has more eight children<\/font><\/a> seems to have missed the class on good parenting. Simply put, this is too many children.\u00a0 They can’t each get the care and attention they need. The mom wants to go back to school. Who then takes care of them?. Who pays? \u00a0All the children were born with the help of artificial means. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
