Rant/Rave thread
SenkoTwiik:
To me, John and Kate, as well as the Duggars are psychotic, but not nearly as bad as Octomom, because like Chaavik said, they have all the money that they need to fully support their kids, without the shows being on tv. My problem with huge families is (and I know a little about this because I grew up in a town that having 6-8 kids was normal) the parents do not have time to raise all of them. They do not have enough hours in the day to parent 8+ children, especially when they have young babies. With my experience, the older siblings have been given the duty to care for the younger ones that the mom and dad do not have time for. And that is NOT fair to the other kids. I fully support and understand simply helping out, but these other children should not be raising their siblings. If they wanted to raise children, they would have their own. That is the only beef I have about John/Kate/Duggars/HUGE families. I think if you can't mother and father all of your children without needing everyday things done for you by other children, you should stop having them. Kids need to be allowed to be kids, not little parents, unless they do have their own children.
But the Octomom has no husband/father figure. The crazy woman was the mother of 6 children before the other 8 came along. She had no money before, and was living off of roughly $2,000 a month in food stamps, medicald, and disability for her and 3 of her children. She's not even disabled. If you can go get your hair and nails done, shop and lug around a huge pregnant tummy, that is not disability, that is pro 'milking the system'. The woman knew she had no means to take care of the children she had but she still got pregnant again, ON PURPOSE with 6 more wggs which turned into 8 kids. And she wonders why everyone hates her?
Chaavik:
I find it ironic that she had the money to go get herself on fertility drugs and use the services to get herself knocked up after having 8 kids! All of this stuff would cost more than 5,000 dollars if the services stretched over a few months because fertility drugs don't take effect immediately until after 2 or 3 months.
And yet, she couldn't afford to care for all of her kids with disability benefits, public aid assistance, WIC, Medicaid, Medicare and food stamps. Many people aren't eligible for any of these benefits, and they have kids to feed and clothe, BUT they always managed to put their children's interests first before theirs.
I knew a couple who I was friends with for years who raised 5 kids. The father was married to his first wife and had 2 kids (the first wife had 2 other kids by a different father before they married), but he divorced her because they could not reconcile their differences. He worked as a freelance tattoo artist and barely made money to support himself and his second wife. They had a child together. Then one day, he got a call and was told that his ex-wife committed suicide. The children had no place to go. He, out of generosity and love, took the kids in despite the fact that he and his wife were barely making money for themselves and their child. Unfortunately, one of the four children taken in by the father witnessed the mother's suicide and required extensive mental and emotional counseling for as long as he lives. And guess what? They managed themselves without complaining too much about money issues. Don't all families have money issues? But did they go on and make more kids? No. After the second wife had her child, she went on the pill. She chose not to have any more kids.
How did she afford the monthly hair and nail jobs? That money should've went to the care of the kids full stop.
That is my biggest pet peeve out of all the pet peeves I have - thoughtless parents and their huge families.
SenkoTwiik:
Octomom also gets her lip injections too, and I read in a magazine she got plastic surgery as well after the babies were born. Yeah, INF costs between $5,000 and $15,000, and you have to pay for it for a period of months. Why wasn't this money being spent on her previous 8 children? That is insane!
Chaavik:
That's so insane.. So stupid.. So thoughtless of Octo-mom to put herself first before her kids. Why bother to have 8 more children when she only cared about herself? The selfish little b-..
SenkoTwiik:
I know, huh. And why on Earth would she even waste money getting plastic surgeries to make herself look better? She has 14 kids!! No man in his right mind is going to go near that! Her getting plastic surgery makes about as much sense as when Jessica Rabbit hit Roger Rabbit in the head with a pan because she didn't want him to get hurt.
