Like everybody else, I’m shocked at what has transpired with this woman. The subject has been talked to death, why she did it, the sperm donor, the spendy shopping trip to MAC, the relationship with her mother, and the physical impossibility of being able to take care of and nurture fourteen children. And what about that Jacuzzi she purchased? Could it be that the woman has back problems from carrying all those babies? Sure, it sounds extravagant, but can we not give her the benefit of the doubt here, just once, maybe it was legitimate?
You can’t turn back time, these children are here now, they have to be taken care of, and the media is ruthlessly exploiting this woman because it’s monetarily lucrative for them to do so. Every single thing she does is under the microscope, there will be no normal life. Even before any of these children were released from the hospital the media was talking about taking them away from her. Give the woman a chance, people, just back off!
It is a circus, no doubt about it, but I can’t really fault her for promoting herself. She has a lot of mouths to feed, and she needs a lot of money to do it. I don’t think we should play the blame game, because she is promoting her family for money. It’s better than the taxpayers having to pick up the tab. which is the alternative. I actually feel sorry for her. We all judge her, myself included, but there seems to be absolutely no compassion for her. Yeah, I get it, it was wrong what she did, horribly wrong, and mental issues might be involved, who knows, but she should at least have a chance to prove us wrong, and only time will tell how that works out. But it was also horribly wrong for the doctor to impregnate her with all of those embryos, yet you hear little about him, he’s going on with his life, practicing medicine with few repercussions that we know about.
I do agree with her for getting rid of the nannies that Gloria Allred put in her home. Gloria Allred, in my opinion, is a conniving, self-serving bitch who will do anything to further her own personal gain. And now one of the nurses is speaking out, saying that Naydia is more interested in the media than the children and only looks after them when cameras are rolling. I somehow doubt that, I really do. I saw a recent clip of her cradling one of the babies, holding it’s tiny head in her hand and kissing it over and over again. It looked totally normal, like something a caring mother would do. She was very natural and loving with the infant, not “posed” for the camera as the media suggests. The woman also said there were “unacceptable conditions” in the home. That part is probably true, it must be utter chaos until they get all of the babies home, trying to get a routine going and finding a daily schedule that works.
And why is the nurse talking to the media in the first place? Why is Gloria Allred talking to the media? Could it be for *gasp* publicity for Ms. Allred, or maybe the nurse will get money for talking. Will she write a book? It makes me ill, just thinking about these women. Shame on them!
And now I’ll shut up about all of this, I’ll leave it to Nancy Grace to dissect over and over and over again. And yes, it will be interesting to watch this all unfold, it is the ultimate reality show, you have to admit…. And the babies are precious, let’s not forget that, those sweet little faces peering out of their blankets would melt any woman’s heart. We can only hope that she gets all the help she needs and that all of her children are loved.
As women and mothers ourselves, I hope we can find compassion for this young mother who has this enormously insurmountable task ahead of her, and wish her well instead of bashing her relentlessly and prejudging her when we really don’t know the true facts. All we know is what the media is force feeding us, and sensationalism sells, that is one fact we do know for certain….
And I’m totally red faced about it. Okay. I admit it, I’m a food snob. I’m not a coupon clipper either… I’ve never liked store brands, detest cereal in those plastic bags, and avoid discount food stores such as Sav-a-Lot like the plague. So when Aldi’s came to town last month, I smugly went there and bought my produce, feeling sorry for the poor souls who piled their carts high with groceries, while I trotted off to the “grocery store” to buy my familiar brands.
Sadly, I never have, the four-leafed clover has eluded me my entire life. I remember the lazy days of the summers of my girlhood, sitting barefoot, in shorts and a sleeveless shirt, with my friends in a patch of clover, combing thru every leaf, looking for the rare speciman, while we talked about our dreams and the sun warmed our backs and streaked our summer bleached hair.
