Crazy Baby Lady

Let me start by saying, that I normally do not get in political or other debates on here b/c I like to write funny, witty things about my life, but I can't ignore this one....

I haven't commented on this yet because I wasn't going to force my beliefs or thoughts on to any of my readers, but I can't NOT saying something anymore! I'm sure by now most of you have heard of the woman that just recently had eight babies. I usually try to stay Switzerland on baby topics because as a woman that doesn't have any and probably will never have children, I feel like my opinion doesn't get to account for as much as a mothers would ....in the topics of children. But I cannot stay quiet about this any longer.

So, the Crazy Baby Lady (Aka, Nadya Sulman) said in her interview on "The Today Show" with Anne Curry that she was NOT on any sort of welfare. She got kind of rude with Curry, going on to say that she will be able to provide for her 14 children with lots of love, etc. and that after she is done with school she will be able to afford them.

Perhaps she was stretching the truth just a little? This morning on "The Today Show", Anne Curry sorted a few things out for the viewers. Apparently, Ms. Crazy Baby Lady doesn't think food stamps or public assistance is welfare. Excuse me?! She receives $490 a month for food (that was before the 8 babies were born), she also receives federal public assistance for three of her children that are disabled.

Let me be clear here, I am NOT criticizing those on welfare, I am putting this woman under the microscope because she knew she was in financial need and STILL made the decision to have more children through fertility treatments!! That is like me saying, "I think I'll go buy a Cadillac today, even though I don't have the money for it, the government will be there to help feed me!". This woman is in la-la land!

They showed a video of her and the babies this past week on "The Today Show" and it showed something that really gets under my skin. This woman has 14 children, she's in school, she is getting assistance, she claims to be responsible and mature enough to handle all of the children...yet, she has time and money to go get a French manicure?! I have no children and work in a spa and I don't have time for such luxuries! Watch for yourself below.

Am I the only one that thinks this woman should have stopped with her 6 children? I'm sure she will love them all very much, but sometimes its hard for parents to show the attention, love, & support to just one or two children, I find it very hard to believe that one person will be able to support, love and attend to 14 kids! unbelievable.
