Somebody please tell me why having a baby is news worthy. Ok, I get it if you’re the first to give birth @ midnight on January first, or if under some strange event such as in the back seat of a police car while being arrested. Those events earn an honorable mention. Women give birth every single day so why is it so fascinating to people for a woman who has now had her 19th child. Personally, I could care less. As long as I'm not part of the feeding, changing dippers or babysitting duties she can have as many as she can pop out. I get that Octo-mom was one of the few if not the only woman who has had 8 babies at one time. Yes that was news worthy, but it was blown way out of proportion. She outlived her fifteen minutes of fame as soon as the babies went home. Yet the media still splashes her on the tube whenever they get a chance. She is working out and can now wear a bikini. The question they seem to want answered most is did she have plastic surgery? I want to know if she is working to feed all those kids and not abusing the welfare system, after all those are my tax dollars at work. At the time of birth she didn’t have any means of support. At least the Duggars are self-supporting. Still why would any one care that they now have 19 kids. Reality TV sucks if this is the best that they can come up with. This is not news.

I am one of those reality show crazed people. I find most of it is a waste of time but the entertainment factor is why it sells. I love how you brought up the wonder of how these families pay for their large families. Truthfully, this is where I find it at times pathetic. In my opinion, the "Octo Mom" is one of those people where you wonder, "How does this woman even are for her fourteen children?" I believe most of her intentions are to be noticed whether it be by tabloids, magaizines or the news. I think the woman eats it up, truth is we are the stupid ones. She is making a mint off the fact that people care and buy into her stunt. I don't see her as a good mother who supports, nurtures and appreciates her many children. To me she is after the publicity, the attention and the cold, hard cash. Well, she got it- she won...next! I get so upset when I think about how hard it is for the average married couple to start a family and then I see these people who are lucky enough to get noticed and then strive to keep the attention by performing publicity stunts. I remember seeing the Octo Mom in a magazine around Halloween with her new pack of eight newborns dressed in devil costumes, I think she should have been the one in that get-up, but she chose a nun. Seriously? I question her mental health, I really do. The Duggars are at least a respectful family who loves and supports eachother. I just don't get how so many fame-seekers actually get what they want. I guess it's people like me, we don't understand it or support it but we will be interested enought to read about it.
