Nadya Suleman, otherwise known as the Octomom, has fired the nonprofit group of nurses that were helping her care for her 14 children.
Is it just me or is this story more and more disturbing the more we find out about this situation?

The nurses are from a group called Angels in Waiting, and were helping Suleman without cost to her. But apparently that wasn’t good enough for the Octomom, because she felt they were “spying on her” and she canned the lot of them.

And this hysteria is with only four of the octuplets at home! She still has four in the hospital.

She also has identified the father of all her 14 children. He said he is a “foreign-born man who lives in California” and is a good friend of hers. She also admits that he (along with the rest of the world) was a bit ticked to see her go for another IVF treatment when she already had six kids. Apparently as she mentioned this one of her children asked who the man (father) was and she just ignored them.

 There was a story yesterday on MSNBC.com about a woman who is suing her doctor because her IVF (in-vitro fertilization) resulted in twins . . . and she only wanted one child.

Yeah, make IVF and fertility treatment and medical help in general less affordable and accessible for everyone else. Oh, and the child, never mind that “Mommy doesn’t really want you.”

In fact her quote was “We were devastated to learn we were having twins.” Scrapbook that. I wonder which of the twins she considers “the extra burden one.”  

I nominate this woman for the “despicable human award.” Does that exist? At the very least I think she should be featured on Parents Behaving Badly.

She feels the doctor should have only implanted one egg, rather than two.  I’m sure she would have sued had the one egg not implanted and she ended up with none. She’s suing the doctor for the cost of raising the second child, including private school. Surely she signed a permission to treat form that included the risks of multiple births associated with IVF? At least she didn’t have sextuplets like the Gosselins or the Masche Family.

That’s the thing about parenting, you don’t get to order off a menu like at a restaurant. You don’t have ultimate control over how many children you get, or whether you can have any, or what gender they are or whether they are healthy. Neither does the doctor. 

I’m sure some people would sue God.
