'Octomum'

[PoliticalBiscuit]

Her children are 10!! I've just blinked and a decade has flown by. The children seem to be fairly well adjusted and she seems to have calmed down now. Considering the chaotic start in life it's quite nice to watch the update

Wow, ten already! She does seem like she's doing better, it got a bit grim with the stripping and I think porn (?) so it's good to see them happy.

I always find multiples fascinating, I would love a big, chaotic family so much but it does look such hard work.

Just got the rest of the video to work, I'd only watched the first couple of minutes when I commented which is why I couldn't remember the dodgy film she made properly.

I feel sorry for the older kids, film crews turn up but they are only ever interested in the octuplets and it must be hard to complete with them.
I wonder if one of them will do a memoir one day, could be interesting!

She was hugely exploited.

I don't think she was exploited. She made her own decisions and is very strong willed.

Ultimately she made her choices, which to most of us seemed unsavoury, to provide for her children. Right or wrong she did what she thought was the quickest and easiest way to get money.

She now seems to have moved on and matured and her and her children are doing ok.

The fertility doctor that implanted the embryos was struck off wasn’t he? I mean that was assault.

Yes her implantation was exploitation. It doesn't matter what she wanted or what she asked for, no doctor should ever have done that. She's lucky she didn't die, or her babies didn't.

Her voice sounds hoarse I wonder if it's from all the shouting in the past 10yrs.

Would love to hear what the older ones have to say. And also if they turned out well. Having said that, 10 year olds can't act so they must really be the way they seem. And they seem very well spoken and behaved.

watching that video, there is so much love in that household. And I'm impressed she manages to feed them all vegan organic food!
