Dear Octomom… I mean Nadya Suleman,
You have been all over the news in the past few months due to your recent delivery of eight babies that were conceived via artificial insemination. Many people have trouble with just one baby. You decided to have eight babies despite the fact that you don’t have a job, you don’t have a husband or a boyfriend to help you with the babies, oh and you have six other kids. Given all these conditions, what the heck are you going to do with eight babies?
Maybe you got the idea from that show ‘Eight is Enough’ and thought, “Hey, that worked out okay”. However, the children were not babies and there were two parents to take care of the children. Plus, even though some people do have large families, it was just a TV show.
Maybe you really wanted to collect something. Some people collect coins, some collect shoes, but you decided to collect children. They may look cute and solicit complements, but children are living things that require quite a bit of maintenance and attention.
Which reminds me, why do I always see pictures of you shopping? I saw a picture of you at Target and when you left, you had multiple cartfuls of stuff, but only one bag of diapers. That should last, what, a day? And then there was a report that you spent $1000 at a MAC cosmetics store. That’s pricey stuff! I have a job and no kids and I don’t even buy MAC makeup. Plus, who are you trying to impress? Sorry to say it, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a guy who isn’t bothered by all that extra baggage.
Also, what’s up with the whole Angelina Jolie thing? You look eerily similar to her. There’s the dark hair and fair skin, the very plump lips, plus she has a pretty big family as well. Angelina Jolie claimed to be “freaked out” by the thought that you were trying to emulate her. You claimed that you weren’t trying to be like her. I don’t know… I’ve seen the before and after pictures. You look a lot different now. Or maybe it is in fact just media speculation. Maybe you just had your lips enhanced so you could kiss all your children at once. I’m not sure. However, Angelina Jolie only has six kids, not fourteen. Plus she has Brad Pitt and loads of money to support them. I’m sure you’ve gotten all sorts of donations, but one day the donations will stop coming in and you’ll be on you own. Maybe then you could start looking for a job!
Perhaps when you first got pregnant it seemed like a good idea because once you have a baby, you’re the center of attention. So maybe you figured that eight babies would get you all that attention times eight! However, babies eat, cry, and poop, so you will also have to deal with that times eight.
I just don’t think you thought this thing through. I’m a little concerned, and I don’t think you should have any more children for a while… or ever! Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Samantha Villanueva

5.people who will attack abortion clinics and kill doctors.
6. george bush
7. that america doesn't nave nationalised medicine and is the only industrialised country not to have it
8. the fact that a doctor would contravene limits self imposed by other ivf doctors and implant so many embryos.
i could go on. i have tried to post but the site keeps on rejecting my other posts. maybe it is the length
You sound crazy. I have two children. One has mild learning disorders and it takes all my time to make sure he does well in school. Not to mention just doing laundry and feeding my family. The point is that you don't have children when you don't have the resources (money and time) to give them the proper care.
the guy says she said it was cancer. she actually has/had fibroids which are a type of tumor, however non fatal. they can however cause infertility cause they stop implantation. who is to say that he cannot remember correctly cause he cannot remember and it was a few years ago. he is not a medical professional so who can blame him if he gets it wrong. you are assuming she told him a lie. i never saw any place where it is stated she had an ectopic pregnancy at 16. please provide the link.you should read the statistics for depression. woman have a 1 in 5 chance of being depressed in their life. being depressed once doesn't mean you are always depressed. she was depressed cause she had wanted a family and it looked like that door was shut to her cause of ectopic pregnancies destroying her fallopian tubes. you don't think any woman would be upset by that? you need to get a few years under your belts to know that life doesn't always turn out how you want it. how you deal with disappointments (and believe me you would be extremely lucky in life if you have none) shows who you are. nadya didn't want for a grand life. she just wanted a family. she has not changed her story from the beginning. her mother said this from day one. her mother who also is her worst critic also said she was a wonderful mother as did her father. a neighbour complained to cps about her and they investigated her. cps thinks she is fine. there is no one way to parent a child. when you have kids you will realise that each child is different and different methods work with different kids. you need to find out each child's "currency" to get them to work with you. again it seems like you are a little young and sheltered in respect to child care. tell me are you going to have kids? if so why? really tell me why properly so that you make it clear to everyone what is your motivation for having kids. do not give me some pat comment that you read somewhere.
i think by the time you have two babies you realise you are not getting attention. you are a slave to the babies. as you say babies eat, cry and poop. do you think they clean themselves ?
who cares if she looks like angelina jolie. look at nadya when the babies were first born and look at her now. she has lost weight. when you are pregnant there is increased blood volume and that doesn't stay just around the abdomen. it circulates all over the body.
i think what you have written is just regurgiation of what others have written. why don't you go to visit nadya and see for yourself who she is.
think about this: how much work is it for you to look after yourself, to cook food and clean up, to wash and maintain your body, to keep your home tidy, to wash and maintain your clothing. now times that by 15. when you go to visit nadya do something to help her, do a load of washing and folding for her while you are there.
she didn't do this for media attention. if you read the joanne killeen interview she said nadya didn't understand why people would be interested in her as she was just a mom. nadya studied child psychology not media nor marketing which would tie in with your "theory". use your brain and really think about what her life is like.
are you aware that the hospital made all sorts of demands on her before they would release the babies. the older kids are probably the biggest threat of germs for her new babies. she was told to go and buy all new toys for the new house and not bring the old ones for the old house. thus you are making judgements without knowing the circumstances. it isn't nadya's job to explain to you how she spends her money. she isn't receiving any public funding and is not answerable to anyone. and on a personal note do you wear makeup only to "catch a guy"?
you sound extremely young and inexperienced. maybe in time you will know the work involved in having a family instead of writing this tripe!
