I have been trying to understand the different sides of the octuplet story but it all comes back to personal perception I guess. Today the public relations firm that was representing Nadya had to drop her because of a ton of death threats they have been getting. People have been calling in and leaving death threats (leaving their phone numbers on the caller ID) and mailing in hand written death threats and putting their return address on the envelope.
I have tried to examine the situation from afar to really understand it and I have come to the conclusion that everyone involved is clueless and slightly askew of reality.
First let’s deal with the PR firm. The lady that owns it defends her place in all of this by saying that when Nadya went in to get her recent fertility implant she was only trying to have one child. She already had 6 children at home, no job, and was living on food stamps and a disability settlement. Even if she wanted just one more child it was a child she probably could not have afforded. To say that you decided to help Nadya because your a mother and a grandmother and were only concerned about the children is not a very logical defense. If you cared about the children you should see that Nadya should not have tried to have children after the first 6. If the PR lady is a professional then she must have taken the time to understand the situation before she signed on for the job and if she was a mother and grandmother then Nadya’s situation should have made her sick and not sympathetic.
How about the people leaving and mailing death threats? Everybody is mad at Nadya and anyone with common sense knows why everyone is mad at Nadya. However the more intelligent people that are mad at Nadya are not calling in death threats on the phone because almost every business has caller ID. That just is not smart. Let’s not even talk about the people that actually took the time to write obscene death threat letters and then put their return address on the envelope. That is a special kind of messed up.
Nadya, Nadya, Nadya. No my dear it is not enough that you love your children. Every parent loves their children, the difference is that the responsible parents go to work so they can afford to clothe and feed their children. You are living on food stamps and had the nerve to create a website that was asking people for donations to help you raise your children. The website has since been taken down but it amazes me how you cannot see why people are angry with you. In a state where there is a $42 billion budget deficit and where 20,000 state employees are getting laid off to try and balance the budget you bring 8 more children into the world that you cannot afford and will more than likely make burdens of the state. Who is going to pay the $1 million hospital bill, and climbing, to care for the children? Not you. No, the state will have to pay it.
You went on television and admonished America for being angry with a loving mother that just wants to hold her children and give her children everything she can. If that is what America was angry with then I could see your point but America is angry with you and you are a selfish person who has no idea how to care for a family and is content to syphon funds off the state of California. Those funds could be used for people that really needed them. A million dollars can buy a lot of school books for other poeple’s kids. Other people that work to take care of their kids. Other people that do not create websites begging for money and who are not waiting around for cable television to drop a weekly television show in their laps.
But my anger gets tempered when I realize that Nadya is more than likely in need of professional help. The doctor that helped her get pregnant again, after she already had 6 kids she could not take care of, is probably more guilty here that Nadya is. At least a doctor is expected to have common sense. Nadya obviously has no common sense and should never have been allowed to bring any more children into the world.
Does my attitude change if Nadya is a millionaire with cash to spare? It may but even a millionaire would still have to explain to their 14 children why they have never met daddy. Even a millionaire would have to find a way to deal with 14 kids going through their pre-teens and all of the events that happen to every child growing up. If Nadya were a millionaire we would have never heard of her. A millionaire having 14 kids isn’t news. A ward of the state having 14 kids in a state that is more broke than the rest is not just news, it’s pathetic.
