My opinions:
- A trampoline is a bad idea
- definately not mother of the year
- It is one thing to have help with the kids. It is another to have help so you can go out shopping, see your kids for 8 hours in 5 days, and ignore them
- i can't believe she bought a spa
- i don't think she got pregnant to get famous
- if i had 8 babies at once, I'd do a few specials to make enough money to support the family, but I'd have a more controlled environment, less people, less germs, more sanitary conditions etc.
- There is no TB in the house. A positive PPD is not TB. A cough is not TB.
- Why am I not surprised to hear that she was a striper
- I don't think she looks like Angelina, but the obsession is odd. I'm not sure if the 911 call and pregnancies were to be like Angelina.
- I'm not sure she had plastic surgery, but I am leaning strongly towards no. I do agree she has huge lips, but she had big lips in the before picture, but the pose didn't emphasize them.
- A jacuzzi and $1,000 in makeup? What happened to spending the money to convert the garage into a playroom?
In her Radar update this am Nadya claimed her "purchases" were actually donated items from "friends", but in her WC psych eval she claims she didn't have time to maintain adult friendships due to her ever growing brood. So she must have a group of strangers who have made donations to "Cause Nadya" so she now considers them "friends".
I agree, I don't think Nadya had 8 babies on purpose or for the fame that would come with it. She had no way of knowing all six would stick, or crazier still 2 would split. This is not something you can plan. But I do think when she realized her situation she started looking for ways to exploit the "blessed event". What's the point of putting your body through that strain if you can't look for a little something something when the babies arrived. If it were me I'd never would have allowed K.P. to hold a press conference to begin with.
The bottom line is she was a single mom who had 6 kids already, 3 with special needs. (1 severely challenged) Why, why, why did some doctor play into her sick fantasy and try to give her more? I was at one time a single mom, of 3. None with special needs and everyday when I woke up I knew how seriously out numbered I was. What an enormous task it was to meet all their needs. I never planned on doing it alone and never would have intentionally added to the huge responsibility.
If you compare Nadya's HS pix to today, her nose is slimmer and ever so slightly turned up at the end. And her lips....ugh, I don't even want to go there, gross.
A trampoline was the last thing she needed to put up in that yard. Without a net; an accident waiting to happen. My neighbors kid fell on theirs with a net, hit her knee requiring stitches and Fx her wrist. She was 6 at the time.
Nadya was in the hospital for how long before having the 8, leaving gma in charge? At least 2 mos IIRC. Too bad gma didn't use this time to put the 6 kids on a schedule. Nadya may not think they need one but I'll bet she'd be amazed how much easier her life would be and happier kids too.
I suppose if AiW nurses went into that house being told (truthfully) look Octo-nut doesn't have a clue, it would have been very easy for them to come across as over bearing . Trained NICU nurses are highly trained and used to working quickly and efficiently. They have the littlest patients depending on them for their every breath. It's heady stuff. But they are also compassionate and eager for moms to learn. Fine line to walk.
As nurses they are mandated reporters to CPS for anything they observed that could cause harm to the babies/kids, they do not belong on national TV or all over the news talking about what went on in that home. That IMO is wrong.
I don't see that Dr Phil has caused anything to happen that wasn't going to happen already. He believes kids belong with their parents whenever possible. He knows the state is not going to step in and take the babies without giving Nadya every chance to care for them first. I think he was trying to improve a really bad situation and it was doomed from the start because Nadya is not able to accept the kind of help she needs. So now she has her own team in place (which is what she wanted all along) and all we can do is hope and pray K.P. is going to do a good job training/following up. And making reports as necessary. I wish I felt Dr Phil was taking this step back for altruistic reasons, in honesty it feels more like a liability situation. He can't afford to be aligned with Nadya when something goes wrong. And something will go wrong, almost guaranteed.
I wish I felt more hopeful. But it is what it is and that's all it's going to be.
