("Octo-Mom") Nadya Suleman Is Open To Having More Kids

But only under certain conditions, Nadya Suleman explained to 'Good Morning America.'
"If I wanted to do it the traditional way and get married," she said, "That's like another chapter."
For now, however, Nadya is not planning on having more children. She's struggling to support the 14 she has. Her household expenses include:
- - $1,000 in groceries and buying about 700 diapers per week,
- - eight loads of laundry and going through four and a half gallons of milk per day, and
- - $10,000 for five nannies per month.
Which is why she relies on reality TV specials to support her children. She reportedly earned $250,000 for the first year of access to her family and half of that went directly to caring for the octuplets alone.
"I'm d*mmed if I do and d*mmed if I don't," she told the filmmakers. "Because if I don't do what I need to do in the media to take care of and support the kids, I can't take care of them."
Nadya said she's "basically been a science experiment for the past 10 years." You can see a video of her 'Good Morning America' appearance here.
Well, maybe she shouldn't have put herself in this position in the first place, but there's no undoing it now. Do you think Nadya is doing the right thing by relying on reality TV?

It's sad, but I think that reality TV is her only option at this point. With 14 kids how else is she going to support them? I'm sure she is also getting state funding (welfare), but depending on how much she gets from TV maybe she isn't getting finanial help. She truly put herself in this spot and I don't feel sorry for HER, but i do feel for her 14 kids. They didn't ask for this, they are just stuck.

I agree. As much as I couldn't stand what she did - she needs a way to support these kids. If it keeps her off of state aid - I say go for the reality show. At least we don't see her 24/7 like Jon & Kate, kwim? I think I'm softening up about her a bit because she's not shoved down our throats constantly.

WTF would she have done if we didn't live in this idiotic reality television-obsessed society right now? Sold them?

Maybe she should have used the money for fertility treatments for therapy. As of now, reality television is her only source of income. A standard job just isn't going to pay what she needs.

She'll fall back on welfare when the money runs out.

I don't see why under any conditions she is considering more children. It just seems insane to me to even think of it.

I think I'm in the minority but after seeing her nuttiness on the Jimmy Kimmel spot she did I would be intersted to see her on reality TV. She does have very beautiful kids though. Hopefully she will be able to provide for them all in the future.

Not to be mean but who in their right mind would marry a woman with 14 kids?
I do feel sorry for the kids, as far as her-who cares? I think she is one of the most selfish persons I have ever heard of.
Yeah, after 8 kids I"m sure she is more "open" than most. Ha!

I'm not exactly sure when the mother of 14 would have time to date anyone.

I found a HOTTEST interracial club ========"InterracialSingleOnline---C om"========for black Women and white Men, or black Men and white Women, to interact with each other. Interracial is not a problem here, but a great merit to cherish!
I think Supernanny should make a cameo appearance on one of Octomom's reality shows to help her get her kids in check and have them all on good schedule and that no way in should she consider more kids until she has got her current brood under control. Just getting the hang of running such a huge household should be the focus right now and I do agree that even though I think she was bonkers for having so many kids while she was single/unemployed, she has to do TV now just to make ends meet.

She needs to be sterilised. Seriously.
