oh my God did that budget pass? I have been afraid to look and I mean that.
10% sales tax, double car tax, tax on income tax, and 12 cents gas tax? did that pass?

I am holding out hope that it won't and I didn;t think they had voted yet. Remember we recalled Gray davis because of that stupid triple car tax and Arnold repealed it. he is doing exactly what we voted Davis out and Arnie in for.They're voting this morning sometime - haven't done it yet. Supposedly it all comes down to a Democrat, Lou Correa, if he votes no then it won't pass. I'm hoping this won't pass but from everything I heard on my talk radio station yesterday they're pretty certain it will. I hope we all remember at reelection time all these politicians names and vote them OUT!
You can say that again.Holy !
I just want to make sure that I have this straight, this woman is now up to 14 kids all under age 7, with no job (professional student doesn't count, IMO), no man, very limited support, and no real resources whatsoever to speak of?
And to top it off, while 8 of these kids that she loves sooooo much are still in the hopsital, she is out getting her nails done? (For the record, acrylics and french tips don't go so well with 8 newborns).
And at one recent point, I was called unfit by a total stranger for having 4 kids under 6 at the age of 23. Wow...I wonder what that person thinks about this?
This is a disaster of epic proportions. with Ocotmom laughing all the way to the bank.
I can't understand how she affords the things she does. I have three kids: 17, 13, and 1. I pay $360 a month for daycare. I struggled to come up with the $70 for my daughter's graduation cap and robe because times are so tight. I am married and we live in a two-income household. She's jobless and pays $500 for a nanny AND private school tuition? How???? I can't even imagine spending money to get my nails done (I am a woman, so this isn't as weird as it sounds). There are so many things higher on my priority list right now: dentist, some work around the house, upcoming college costs for oldest daughter. Was that Wii stuff she was buying in the video picture? She can afford a Wii???? We could barely scrape together enough money for my 13 year old's Nintendo DS for her birthday! What am I doing wrong???
Unbelievable. Private school, $500 a week for a nanny, numerous elective medical procedures, all by her own confession, then manicures and apparent cosmetic surgery. It just goes on and on. :bang:Grab the barf bag before reading... here is one of her "doesn't make a lick of sense" excuses for being on foodstamps:
*She adds: “The only reason I applied for them is that I have put Elijah in a private school. He needs tutoring to stay focused.
“But I am not on welfare where you get cash aid for children. I have never got that.”*

Sorry I clipped your post!
Maybe the publicist should head over and help grandma with the 6 kids Nadya left with her- at least send over a cleaning crew. :doh:
AMAZING that some dope would call you names because of your choice to be a mother. I'm sorry that happened. I hope you realize there are many many stupid people out there. And, you are not unfit in any way!
On the other hand, it's a shame this mother has brought so many children into the world that she can't care for. Like I said there are too many stupid people out there.
I always read a whole thread before posting but this time I got stuck here.:crazy: before I finished. So it might be discussed already down thread.
Now that word is out, if she lived in my neighborhood we would be over there cleaning, washing and cooking for Grandma and the kids because that's just how we are. I have kept dogs for people until they made bail and my neighbors paid for my water heater once (I paid them back every cent the next month) because we are here to help one another. Now the mom (octo-tot mom?) is a different story and I would not want to be an enabler to her sickness.
But, I wish I lived closer so I could help the poor grandmother deal with this mess that has been dumped on her.
Now I will continue reading all of your excellent comments on this strange situation.
By the way, you don't need a private school just for tutoring.
I wondered about that, too.
You do need attentive parenting, which takes time. "Special needs" need to be met, and they can't be met when the single parent you have is too busy breeding and rearing more special needs, going to school, and indulging all her other frivolous fantasies.
I think you nailed it in that she lives in a fantasy world. I don't think she understand how much things cost or the reality of parenting.
This selfish, neglectful mother criticized other parents for being selfish, not giving their time to their kids. She actually considers herself an ideal mother, and wanted her own TV show as a parenting expert. :floorlaugh: She is fftheair:
One more thought.
If it's true that she sent letters to Angelina Jolie, that's the last straw to tip the scales for me in taking custody of the kids.
I would do an open adoption of the octuplets, so they can know their siblings, and I'd give custody of the six to someone else, preferably the octogrands, with oversight by DFS.
She's unbalanced. I'm not seeing what specific diagnosis there could be, and if we took away kids from every unbalanced or neglectful parent, half of us would lose our kids. But her imbalance is directly related to her perception of those children as objects to meet her neurotic wants, rather than individuals with needs of their own. Many parents do that to some extent, but she takes it to a dangerous level of neglect.
Between that, her "Bagdad Bob" type of lies (by which I mean telling such ridiculous stories she should know will be caught), and her lack of appreciation for her responsibilities or consequences of her actions, there's no doubt that she is an unfit mother.
The only way I would allow her custody of those children is if she underwent long-term therapy and demonstrated enlightenment not only there, but in whatever interviews or books she makes money off of.
I would also require that she postpone her own school (like the rest of us have to when our parental and fiscal responsibilities require it) to help rear them, and all this time, she would be under the continual supervision of a state "nanny," who not only had oversight of the family, but the budget.
PS. I would be surprised and disappointed if any respectable masters program in counseling would allow her to continue, anyway. The ones I'm aware of require professors to evaluate the mental fitness of the students for the profession.
Your story about you and your neighbors is nice. Living amongst compassionate people is one of the best gifts in life. :blowkiss:
I started getting a bad vibe about Grandma and this money making scheme of Nadya's, so mid way through if you want to skip over my
"b!tchy" rant filled posts, you can! It's been quite a story, that's for sure!:crazy:
