Who's sick to death of hearing about Nadya Suleman? She's just all over the place!! You can't go to any social website without hearing about her. You can't turn on the TV without hearing about her. It's sickening! I watched her on the Dr. Phil show recently. I heard her say how she does realize that it was a stupid idea to get the IVF and have 8 more kids. I didn't believe her, and I'm surprised Dr. Phil believes her. Look what she got out of this. A brand new house, free services to help her raise her kids... etc etc etc. Anyways, a couple days later I turn on the Dr. Phil show, hoping to find something interesting, and yet again it's more Nadya Suleman. Honestly do we really need to hear anymore about her?? Is there anyone out there who's still interested in what's going on in her life? Is anyone still reading up on what she's doing or how the kids are? Or are you closing the screen or changing the channel anytime you see or hear her mentioned?

She's the octo mom, she just gave birth to octoplets, even though she already had 6 kids at home, and she's living on government assistance.

Well, I don't know about that either! If the show that I loved always repeated a samething, I would get bored too! Just change a channel and finding something better.

It is the stupid media and they have to poke there long noses into about anyone's business. It is her business and did not need to be anyone else's other than those involved with her in the first place. Why don't they just leave the woman alone. She is not the first or the last to have a bunch of kids all at once and other kids too. Why the HE!! does society think they know best or better. Leave her alone already. So what she had 8 babies and other kids big deal this government hands out freebies to illegals right and left who have lots of kids with no thought at all. We the taxpayers pick up the tab and that is OKAY???? But a woman living on PA has a 8 kids at once and that is taboo. BUll PUCKY, What double standards people have. Would ANYONE want the media, the world and hollywood poking their nose into our door if we did something they found strange, different, odd or frown on because it did not fit THEIR specific VALUES? It is called Freedom of speech, religion etc. Get over it and leave people alone.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's nobody's business, but they didn't have to take it this far, that's forsure. I do believe that since the government supported her, we do have the right to know what's going on (I do not agree with illegals getting hand outs either... actually if I had my way the government wouldn't be paying half the people it currently does).

I don't really pay her much attention at all. I don't read the blog articles, news articles, or watch the television shows that talk about her. I agree that people need to stop talking about her, but unfortunately I don't see it happening in the near future.

No. You are not the only one. I don't follow her story but it's kind of hard not to when she's so evenly spread everywhere you go. And I hate to say she's gonna get bigger as her children get bigger.

who the heck is she anyway? just kiddin...not buying into it. I don't read the stories or watch them on tv. I'm out of the loop on the latest. Won't help promote the movie nor the book that is sure to come out and make her richer than me. It is BS. She will get rich out of this stupid and insane thing and guess what...her kids will be the ones to suffer. Everyone that buys a magazine to read an article on her or a newspaper or watches the news contributes to her celebrity status. I haven't followed it at all. All I want to hear is that someone was smart enough to step in and remove those kids from that home. I did not tune in to Dr. Phil...he is making $ off from this and so is she...it is all about the drama. I dont care about his diagnosis...he may be right but he glamorized it on public tv. Even if she realizes she was wrong...who cares. Its a done deal. Local Child services should be intervening. This should not be on the media as it is. It is only hurting the kids. No one thinks about the kids anymore. Back in the 60's when charles manson got busted...he had so many children. They were a mere mention in the media. They all got adopted out or put in foster care and their names changed so as to protect them. To this day...heck you could be working with one of his offspring and you'd never know it. The kids were protected from the spotlight. In this case...the spotlight is right on them.

You're so right. It hadn't even dawned on me that Dr. Phil is making money off promoting this, but don't get me started on him! Yes child services should intervene, but I don't think they will. This has spiralled too far out of control thanks to the media, so nobody will be able to touch those children now. On the plus side, now that Nadya's whole world has been made so public, she won't be able to abuse or mistreat those kids, otherwise the world will know.

nadya who? lol. no I heard of her watched the dr.phil show because i like his show. otherwise I dont care much about her. I think it is stupid that anyone allowed her to get the IVF being dependant on assistance with 6 kids. that was kind of stupid on the medical professionals part.

She's more to blame than the doctors. She knew her situation and knew what it was like to raise kids, she did have 6 of them after all. Why would anyone place the blame on the doctors when she should have taken responsiblity for herself? Since when is it someone else's job to watch out for what's in our own best interest? And what if another woman similar to Suleman walks into a doctors office wanting the same procedure... only there are differences in their situations. Let's say the next woman has the money and the family support.... but she has 6 kids and was previously on welfare. Is the doctor going to say no to her just because it's similar to Suleman's situation? That wouldn't be fair, would it?

Hi, katsmeow1213! Yes, I have been seeing her on the news and in the magazines. And to tell you the truth, I have not been paying that much attention to her. I have no interest in what she is doing at all. Everyone has so much of bad things to say about her as far as I know. But, I don't really have too much to say about her because what Nadya buisness is, is her owns. I wished that others could see the same thing.

She's a single mother raising 14 kids and living on welfare, how is that her own business? How is anyone capable of raising 14 kids alone? I only have 5 kids and I'm married and that is extremely difficult some days.... I can't imagine raising 5 alone, but this woman has to raise 14, and the tax payers are supporting her! So if my tax money is going to raise those children, then I have every right to know if the children are safe, if she's taking care of them properly, and every other detail about their lives.

Hey kats! I am so sick of her too! And sick of "Dr"? Phil, who is not even a friggen doctor! She is a very sick and selfish woman who doesn't care about anything but her fame and making money off her kids! I don't want to every see her plastic face again! She is a very sick woman who needs psychiatric help from a real doctor and those kids need to be taken away from her and given to people who can really take care of them, especially the octuplets! It would be sad to have to separate all of them, but in the end they would be much better off then staying with her! She can't take care of them, is too sick to even care and is only interested in the MONEY she makes from them! That is not a MOTHER! Take those babies away from her and give them to people who want them! Put her in a psych ward! Just make her go away already! I can't stand to watch her try to manipulate everyone with her lies and deceit!

I can tell you feel very strongly about it. Unfortunatly our society is thriving on her "gossip" because that's the sort of people we've become. People who like to hear about other's who mess up bigtime like this. That's why Britney Spears was so popular for so long. And look, now Britney's not a total mess up like she was and suddenly she's out of the spotlight! What a sick world we live in.

Trust me, you aren't the only one who's sick and tired of seeing her face all over TV, newspapers, and magazines. I still wish that Child Protective Services would take all of her children away, as none of them will be raised in a safe, stable environment.

Yes. I agree enough is FAR enough!! I think she is enjoying being the media scene!! I really hate for the kids because it is not their fault, but I think Dr Phil has backed way off too after she fired the sitters. I just dont care to hear more about it, because I cant make any sense out of her!

yes i'm tired of hearing about "octo-mom". Nancy Grace's show too. It seems all she talks about is Casey and Octomom. I"m tired of it.
• United States

Casey Anthony? Yeah, that's old news now. The only thing I want to know about that story is whether or not the mom fries for killing the baby.

IM SOO CHANGING THE CHANNEL EVERYTIME THEY TALK ABOUT HER, i mean she has made a very selfish thing having kids that se clearly cant support. so why should i be concerned with her situation, i really cannot believe how in her right mind she is expecting to raise 14 kids on goverment coupons, is just unheard of. And she clearly likes the attention even if she acts like she doesnt. So i think that you are NOT the only one, im sick of all of it too...
• United States
6 Apr 09
Yes, you're right, she must love the attention, even if she claims she doesn't. And she doesn't know the first thing about raising kids either! That was obvious from an interview with dr. phil.

Unfortunatley it is the publics need to know all about her that is getting her all of this free stuff. I feel she is a waste of oxygen and just prefer not to think of her.

The only time I heard about her was on the Fox News Channel,and they spent most of their time talking about what a stupid thing she and the doctor had done. I'm happy to say she's no longer a topic of conversation.

Haha.. To tell u the truth, I don't event know who this Nadya Suleman is until you posted this discussion. Maybe she's not all over the place as you think she is. You're probably at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I heard of her having the 8 babies in one birth, tried to read more about her after hearing the news, but since she's all over, I got tired of it and just didn't pay attention to her anymore, switched channels :). There's a lot more interesting and more worthwhile stories about people than her. I found her pathetic as well...not a good example to a lot of people esp young ones.

Never heard of her. Anyways, that's how news had been nowadays. What you hear 2 weeks back is the same news that you'll be hearing today.
