Just watched her on today.com and that whole interview made me sick.
Personally speaking, I'm sick of single mothers acting like they are superwomen. So what if your child is healthy. So what if your child is smart. So what if your child is doing this that or the other. So freaking what. It is a mother's role to make sure their child is smart, healthy, and this that and the other. You don't have to broadcast what you do. You are a mother so those things are within your duties.
The fact that you are a single mom doing it means NOTHING. You spread your legs or got in-vitro fertilized. You are not special. You should not get an award for opening your legs to a man who didn't want you..
During the whole interview, Octomom [don't know her real name.. thinks it Nadyah... not sure] was like 'oh no', 'never', 'I do this', 'I do that', 'that is a lie', and blahzi blahzi. She was really defensive throughout the whole interview. The interviewer asked her about Casey Anthony. Octomom's response 'I don't watch TV. I don't have time for TV. I devote my time to my kids.' So a mom can't watch TV? Most of her responses could have been kept to herself.
Overall.. I don't knock her for wanting a big family. Yeah, she has 14.. So what. The Duggars had theirs naturally and they have 19... So what. Yeah, Octomom is single.. Would she get sympathy if she was married but her husband died just before the last 8 birth?? So the fact that she is a single mother with 14 children means nothing.
I do, however, knock her personality. There is no such thing as a super mom. You either fulfill your role as a mother or you don't. Just because you are single and your child is doing this means nothing. Just because you have more than one and your children are doing this means nothing.
Octomom is just a mom..
