okay, so i set up two blog and didn't even know it.......never done this before. i did realize that i posted on the wrong blog and nobody would have been able to read anything. problem solved so here is what i wrote Wed. Feb., 11Th:
I was flipping through the TV channels last night and came across NBC's Dateline. Anne Curry was interviewing Nadya Suleman. She is the 34 year old mother of the octuplets. the interview caught my eye and i found myself glued to the interview.
I found myself actually consciencely listening to the questions that Anne Curry was asking. Was she asking open ended questions? How did she get this mother who has been bashed by the media to trust her to get the truth? Hopefully that will help when i have to interview the person for the paper we are to write for class.
But more that that i realized that when the story first broke about Nadya having 6 children already and giving birth to 8 more, i prejudged her along with a lot of other people. Listening to the interview and learning more of the facts about her life i began to feel for her.
She was in an unsuccessful marriage, she got injured at her job and bacame disabled which let to a bout of depression, her lack of affection by her mother left this unfullfilled void in her that she is now filling with 14 children. Do i agree with her having all those babies? Absolutely not. she's crazy. But this is her life now.
i do believe she loves her children and didn't plan on having "8" more, but now that she does i dont think she understands what it takes to raise a child from infant to adulthood. And she has 14 children to raise.
i cant even comprehend how her life is going to be...............i work, go to school, and am raising 2 children and sometimes feel there isnt enough hours in a day. She isnt going to get any sleep!!

I watched some of the interview as well. I prejudged her also but I feel that she really doesn't know what she is in for. To raise 14 kids. I believe not one is over the age of 10. Just think of when these last eight that she had get to the age of 16. How is she going to deal with that? Granted some of her other kids will be older and able to help out.
ReplyDeleteA single mom with 14 kids I hope her family (preasant and future) is very close.
Wow 14 kids. I am wondering what was going through her head when she has this done. Now what she has said that she is not on public aid but come to find out she is. What other lies has she told? What are we to believe? We may never know with all of the media attention she is getting know one may never get the truth.
ReplyDeleteJust hope that she is strong enough to handle all of those kids...
