Is anyone watching octomum on Sky 1?

I think she comes across really well. In the midst of all the controversy she is very good at defending her position.

I get the feeling there must be far more to the story than what is available via the media. I expect she probably doesn't think that stuff is anyone's business which is fair enough imo.

As far as I can remember, the doctor that did the IVF was pioneering a new way of implantation. But I know diddly squat about "normal" IVF so didnt really pay attention when they talked about it. He is (or was when the show I saw was filmed) being investigated for malpractice. Her reasoning for implanting all was that this was to be her last pregnancy and she felt each frozen embryo was a life and she had to try to give them a chance at life.

When she was talking about the father of the babies, an ex-boyfriend who fertilised all her embryos she did actually say that by having all those kids she thought he would come back to her.

Oh I thought she was awful!! Clearly unable to attend to the needs of all those children and quite irresponsible and neglectful in my opinion.
Heading for a diagnosis of munchausans by proxy if you ask me - very worrying indeed

Was she neglectful though? She seemed to have nannies to help her with the practical stuff. Must be very hard work, though - I have three and that is loads imo!
