(3-10) Octuplets: Updated list of posts

You really should watch this video (can't embed ABC) to get insight into another relative 14 children depend on. Ed Doud, 67, gets all testy when asked how Nadya is going to cope and he likens it to a teacher remember all 40 kids in the classroom's name.

He remarks about her being a wonderful mother:

She holds every single one of them for like a half and hour - so you're talking about 8 of them. Can you imagine the time she spends over there?

And how many hours doesn't she spend over there? How much care is she not providing? When they come home (Dear Lord, I hope that never happens.) she will be responsible for all 14 24/7.

He said on Oprah [follow link above] that his daughter is not mentally complete and asked Oprah of she could take care of that. Oprah was speechless. Then, he begged:

DOUD: You know what? She needs help. I say to everybody now, 'people, we do need help. Do not punish my daughter for what she had done and do not punish the babies, because they were given by God'.

They were manufactured by man and frozen. Then he tries to cover for her:

DOUD: The NBC...they took her out of the hospital by midnight to a secret location by midnight. They did not even give her a chance to rest or sleep while she was still under medication.

NBC countered (they did not pay for the interview):

NBC News stands by every aspect of our interview with Nadya Suleman. Contrary her father's allegation, we did not take Nadya from the hospital and the interview, which was conducted with respect, took place at a time of her choosing.

Listen to how he talks about what he would do if adoption is brought up. Watch the evil look in his eyes. What exactly did he do as an "Iraqi military man"?

I will stop any anybody. I will stop anybody. Anybody. I don't care who they are, from taking my grandchildren away.

But he couldn't stop his own daughter from having 14 children?

Then when questioned about why the court might take their children away:

Ok. Now we're talking about the taxpayers' money. Why do they want to waste their money on a lawyer and judge and court and all that to take my grandchildren away for adoption, uh?

That's a waste of money. Leave them alone.

That's all he could come up with? That it's a waste of money to adopt his grandchildren? The entire family talks about them like commodities. That's precidely why he could never allow them to be adopted - end of money.

Will Nadya pay off the hospital bill and stop accepting food stamps?

Deer in the headlights.

Uh, if we become well enough - we don't need anybody. If we struggle, just like anybody else, uhh, we will uhh, ask for help. We're not gonna ask for help from taxpayers.

Ask?

They've already been taking. Nadya received $168K disability for a "bad back" while she was churning out baby after baby - including 8 at once. She has been getting $490/month in food stamps. She has been receiving federal assistance for three of her children. She already abandoned a home and is about to do so again. And who does he think is going to pay the hospital bill? It's got to be over $1M by now. And why would they need to remain on food stamps if they are moving into $564,900 house?

Then he says they don't need anybody - they don't need taxpayer's money and then rants about the banks. All the while the grandmother already abandoned one home and is about to do so again - she has not made a mortgage payment since May 2008 and is over $20K in arrears. And by the way she has filed for bankruptcy.

They don't need anybody?

Without taxpayers those six children would be homeless without food or healthcare.

This whole family is delusional.

Then he smiles when he talks about his 15 minutes of fame - doesn't everyone want to be famous?

Pornography?

DOUD; Oh, I know my daughter. It doesn't make any difference, a million, 10 [million], 20 million, she's not going to do that. That is no way in the world. We're not that kind of people.

Angelina Jolie?

DOUD: It's funny that she never thought of Angelina Jolie. I don't think she knew who she was.

Nadya's original publicist, Joann Killeen said Nadya told her she never had plastic surgery. Grandmother thinks it's from the weight she gained. Anyone can look at the before picture of her and see she had plastic surgery. Her face is unnatural.

These are the things - the lies - that continue to incense people. It is perfectly clear where her money went - her face and whereever else and her $10K apiece IVF and continuing to lie about it will guarantee people remain angry.
