    Did you hear?

    Now I disagree with you there. There are many large families to this size that are loving and wonderful and the children have beautiful relationships with their parents.

     

     

     

     

    Our society has become all about an individual's right to have whatever they want. Not what's actually best.

     

    We seem to grasp this idea when raising our children - yes, they want candy for breakfast, but we know that's not best for them so we teach them not to do that. But then our concepts of what we do as adults are closer to "I want it so I have a right to have it".

     

     

    Do you have children? Were able to have them "naturally"?

    How many babies should a woman be "allowed" to have or carry ? :huh:

     

    I am with you on this one! Who are "we" to tell a mother how many children she can.

     

    I still say ALL 8 survived for a reason.

    I know. I am going to try to get my story out there so that people can know the truth and not pass judgment before they have the facts. Thank you for your response.

     

     

    I will do whatever it takes to save my daughter's life. You can't possibly understand until you are put in this situation. God Bless You.

     

     

    There are alot of us parents on the site that have children with disabilities and illness. I find it helpful to read the stories of others. Some people may not understand what and how you do things....but others will. ;)

    I agree there are alot of scamers out there, but that is not for you to judge. My husband has a full time job and helps me raise money for our daughters treatments. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks. I will do what ever it takes to save our daughters life.

     

     

    Not everyone on here has the attitude shown in this thread. I wish you the best of luck with your daughter.

    California woman gives Birth to Octuplets, OUCH!

    I can tell you that I would not go through with any infertility intervention if I wasn't prepared financially to take full responsibility for the outcome of a multiple birth. I have PCOS, so the fact we have our son is a miracle to begin with. Had we not have been able to conceive naturally I don't think we would have gone the route of in vitro or fertility drugs for this very reason. The medical cost for the mother and children could easily reach into the millions.

     

    The moral here to me is just because we can do something medically doesn't mean we should.

     

     

    :huh: I am really trying to see your point, but I don't. Are you only talking about child birth? Or do you not believe in medicine for any reason?

    Because I'm daring to ask a rather logical question I'm now "pissy?"

     

    Really, I'm not, I'm in a great mood! I just think there are questions that should be answered about situations like this FIRST before roses are sent, and parades held. ;)

     

     

     

    Well, right now I'd say that there are prayers that they all live, and all will be neurologically/physically ok. :( That's sad. In NICU, alive is "fine". To quote the LA Times article: "The doctors said the children, born nine weeks premature, were in incubators in stable condition. Their weight ranged from 1 pound, 8 ounces to 3 pounds, 4 ounces."

     

    It also says that there have been no confirmation about fertility drugs nor in-vitro where this pregnancy is concerned. I find it highly doubtful it was a naturally occurring multiple birth of this size.

     

    I think it's odd to question her motives. I can understand her taking fertility drugs, if she was not able to become pregnant. I can also see where she would not want to elimnate any of the babies, by reduction. I guess I am seeing this from the other angle.

     

    As far as the health, the news reported a little on the other set of octuplets, that just turned 10. They looked healthy and happy.

    What I would do:

    - Get a job

    - Get two jobs

    - Get three jobs

    - Ask charitable organizations for help

    - Ask more charitable organizations for help

    - And finally, when all options are exhausted, I'd wise up and realize I'm not able to provide the proper care and shelter for my child and put my child up for adoption in the hopes that someone else can provide the proper environment. (hint: keeping my child in the hot or cold elements on the side of a street panhandling wouldn't be "the proper environment" by my standards)

     

     

    It sounds like all these would be easy to do, but......

    What happens when your work becomes upset because you have to miss due to treatment? Charity is an option but right now money is tight for everyone. The whole adoption thing, is a little much.

    This whole topic has struck a nerve with me, actually it really pisses me off.......

     

    I know what it's like to have an uninsurable child. I pay outrageous preiums and have a high deductible.

     

    Tabby your whole doctor's post is a nice thought, BUT those doctor may not do the same type of treatment as the ones in Flordia. I am sure her parents have checked out every possible sloution. That's what parent's do when they have sick children.

     

     

    I really don't have anything to say about their fundrasing, if this was your child what would you do? Open yourself up and ask for money, and ask to be drug through the mud? Keep your mouth shut and watch your kid die?

     

     

     

    Some of you naysayers, should thank god that your children are healthy. That you don't have to worry about money for treatment, and you don't have people talking sheeze about you for trying to do the best by your child!!!!

    Why would you do this to your child?

    We always tell her the truth, but some things she says it's not worth the pain it might cause to tell the truth. IE her mother is an exotic dancer she claims to work at the cheese cake factory but being that my daughter is 12 she tends to put things together and it does not help that she found her biological moms work bag. You can only imagine what was in that and then she does laundry when she goes over there and found outfits that were in the dirty clothes. She has asked me and my hubby what her mom really does cause it does not make since that she works at the Cheese Cake Factory and we obviously are not going to tell her.

     

     

    You are starting to give out TMI. I am not trying to sound rude, but I would take the names you have been given and not give any more details.

     

    Buses

    Maybe they will pick the kids up at the driveways, but if they do the busses will run extremely late.. so be patient with the drivers..

     

     

    So far, they are picking up only at the normal stops.

     

    My thoughts exactly. Put a coat and a hat on Junior and ship his ass to the bus stop. We live in Georgia not Hawaii. It gets cold every winter this is nothing new.

     

     

     

    :lol: Why I am hearing in the back ground "I walked 2 miles up hill both ways to school, in the snow."

    Lets have this post to thank People

    This is a perfect time to thank all the people who never broadcast what they do for others. The ones who like to remain in the shadows.....

     

    A few: a very caring person who bought tons of food for a needy family

    a special lady with a new baby boy who donated food to a needy family

    a lady with a heart of gold, who was out Christmas Eve collecting things for children with no presents, buying diapers, food, and other things for families all the time.

     

     

     

    You guys are great! It is so great to see people help others just because it's in their hearts! Also to all the people who help and give via PM's.

    I can't monitor what he eats all the time because he lives with his mom. When he is at our house we do have healthy food choices and we also limit what he eats (not to much of the bad stuff). When he was living here I started to find candy wrappers that he was hiding in his room. I honestly think one of the big reasons he wanted to go back to his mom's is because we stayed on him about his eating. I guess it comes naturally to me to be healthy because I am on Weight Watchers. We did talk to him this weekend about paying football and he doesn't like the coaches at his new school so he stated that he did not want to play. We also limit the tv/video games.

     

     

     

    Sometimes when you "limit" food, it causes people to over eat. Think of being on a diet and always having someone barking and watching everything you eat. It makes you want to eat more. Just a thought!
