This story just keeps getting more interesting each day. First, we learned that 33-year old octuplets’ mom Nadya Suleman had six kids already. Then we found out that she had the octuplets through IVF treatments. And then, we learned that the family declared bankruptcy last year and lost a house. Now, yet another twist about the octuplets’ mom has been revealed – she WANTED to be a single parent of all these kids, at least according to Suleman’s mother, Angela.
In an interview with US Weekly, Angela Suleman, grandmother to the 14 children reveals,
"She just wanted to do whatever she is doing by herself. She did have boyfriends. She did have someone who really wanted to get married… She was married for a while but it didn’t work out. I don’t know why it didn’t work out -- maybe she knew it wouldn’t last."
Grandmother Suleman, who has been quite open with the press, tells the magazine about her initial shock and dismay when hearing of the IVF procedure for the octuplets. When asked if she was happy about the new, large family she stated,
"No, I am afraid not. It is very difficult to raise six. While she has been in the hospital, I am the grandmother and so I am taking care. I am not a young woman, but it is difficult even for younger people to be with six very active children, and now she’s going to have eight more. It’s a little much."
‘A little much’ is the understatement of the century. Apparently, despite Nadya Suleman’s recently stated desire to sell her story for $2 million, the offers are not coming in quite as generously as she expected. AP recently wrote an article on how Suleman is ‘not getting showered with gifts’ and quotes celebrity publicist David Brokaw on the reasoning behind this.
"I think it's a calamity. I don't see, the way this is shaped, how you can say much about it in terms of something favorable."
With all the negativity around Nadya Suleman, and the fact that consumers have even threatened to boycott companies who help her, she may indeed have to do it all by herself.
