Longest Living Octuplets, in Trouble?

The eight infants born to a Southern California woman officially turned one week old today, becoming the country’s longest living octuplets.
The babies are officially doing well. However, there is some speculation regarding the birth mother, as she is s single, 33-year-old named Nadya Suleman who already has six children…all of whom have been conceived via in vitro fertilization.
But, is this a marketing, money making strategy for her or is this simply because she is addicted to having children? And, is she seriously going to be able to care for eight babies as well as the six she already has?
I have heard rumors, and albeit they are rumors, that she is planning on nursing all eight of her babies. If that is so, how is it possible to care for the other six, change diapers, do laundry, feed herself, and sleep?
She has a plan to pay for the octuplets, however…book deals, TV shows, and other business proposals. But, that may not all work, as the media and public reaction are mixed.
She is apparently unemployed, living in a two bedroom bungalow that her parents purchased for her. Additionally, it is said that she has an autistic child, that her parents also live with her, and that sperm was donated by a friend who worked with her at a fertility clinic years ago.
