Octuplet Grandma: Daughter “Not Capable” of Raising 14 Children
The grandmother of the California octuplets is “very upset” her daughter Nadya Suleman decided to impregnate herself again after giving birth to six children. She added that the 33-year-old single mother has “no means to support” 14 children (see video, above).
“She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this?” Angela Suleman toldRadaronline.com in an interview that aired on ABC’s Good Morning America. “To have them all is unconscionable to me. She really really has no idea what she’s doing to her children and to me.”
Angela said that she’s been housing and supporting her daughter Nadya and her six grandchildren (by in vitro fertilization) in a “cramped,” three-bedroom apartment for years. The babies are fed in shifts and “there’s children’s clothing piled all over the house,” she added.
“How she’s going to cope, I don’t know,” Angela said of her daughter. “I’m really tired of taking care of the six children and need her to think about how she’ll provide for all these children.”
Angela added that Nadya “spent a lot of money on toys” but never contributed rent or food money.
She also claims that her daughter “never told” her about the more than $167,000 that records show she received from worker’s compensation claims.
“Nadya promised to help me with the bills, but she never has,” Angela said. “I lost a house because of it and now I’m struggling to look after her six.”
Added Susan, “Unless [Nadya] starts working, earning money, I don’t know, she may have to go on welfare, which she said she never would do.”
