What does this do to the children because their parents or parent desire to make everything about their lives public? Of course, there’s appeal in the money offered and other spin-off deals. Some parents would say there’s no difference making a living this way than going off to a job at an ofice, a store or factory.

However, are the parents sacrificing their kids for money in these “reality” cases? In a way, they’re putting their kids on the auction block for the highest TV show bidder and exposing their every move and word to the world.

Would you become a “reality” parent? For the money? The fame…or notoriety?

Would You Be a “Reality” Parent?

A production company out of Europe, Eyeworks, is behind the deal. You might not have heard of Eyeworks, but you’ve definitely heard of their TV credits: “Breaking Bonaduce” and “The Biggest Loser.”

Octomom Gets a TV Deal

Take a listen:

So now people are wondering why she would regret doing this publicly, and they think it’s because she possibly wants the father of these kids in her life. Perhaps she regrets doing this alone. Perhaps she wants some help. Or maybe she’s really in love with this guy and this is one way she wanted to get his attention?

Undoubtedly, there will be more to tell on this as time goes on!

Octomom Coerced Sperm Donor

Attorney Gloria Allred has filed a petition requested that a guardian be appointed to protect the rights of the eight babies. Allred is working with Paul Peterson, a former child star (from the Donna Reed Show) and now an activist for minors working in entertainment. Allred and Peterson want to “ensure that the money they earn as participants in a future reality show isn’t spent or wasted by their mother.”

However, Nadya isn’t Jon or Kate. She is someone who doesn‘t have a husband, a job, or it appears, a sense of reality. All those things aside, I’m not sure I fault her for getting the reality show. It could be a way to provide for the babies’ college funds, and for their well being for many years to come. It come be a good thing. That is, if she is smart about the process. That’s the question.

Nadya Suleman to Get Reality Show

Researchers did not get into the specifics of why this happens, but with multiple births I’m sure the stress of handling so many babies at once certainly can add to things.

The study was out ” April 1 in the journal Pediatrics.” With Octomom in the news lately, it brings this information to the forefront. Postpartum is a serious disease and new moms should seek help from their doctor at the first sign of depression.

Postpartum Depression for Multiple Births

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.

Nadya Suleman Fires Baby Nurses

Republican Ralph Hudgens, a state senator in Georgia has proposed legislation that would allow no more than two embryos to be implanted at a time in a woman younger than 40. For women older than 40 the legislation would limit the number to three.

Seriously?

I know that the “standard” is usually two-three embryos and any more is usually just overkill but for people like me the chances of conceiving are fo limited that for the government to limit my chances to conceiving is like a country telling me I can only have one child.

In my opinion, this bill would be devastating to hundreds of thousands of families trying to conceive using in-vitro.

What needs to happen is that doctors need to think about what they are doing. For a doctor to implant six embryos into a woman with six children already is disastrous.

But, for a doctor to implant three or four with the hopes of one taking? Hopeful.
