so This picture came across my feed on facebook the other day with the caption "we got to do better. Let's help our own"
is it bad that the first thing that crossed my mind was if dude got some golden showers?
anyway. I'm not feeling it. Yes I sympathize with women who aren't able to have children but that's it. When you take fertility Drugs, ESPECIALLY after Jon and Kate, Octomom, and all the others, you should know that chances of producing several viable embryos are quite high and you should also know that the chances of each of the embryos developing into fully formed human beings over the next few months is also quite high. Modern Science has come a long way. At this point someone should be doing some cost analysis here. They say it takes 500G to raise a Basic Baby. times that by 6 and you get $3,000,000 that's 3 Million Dollars (just in case those zeroes were throwing you off.) Will they even make 3 milli in their own lifetime? Probably not, I think I read their combined income was under 100g per year, now with her staying home to care for the children they will be living solely off his income and of course this is where we all come in.
Now people are anegered that this family isn't receiving the help that fairer complected families receive. Well I'm not going to delve into that debate. This blogger does if you want to read it
I'm going to tell you why I erased this news feed from my FB.
Invitro isn't free. The poor woman who can not conceive children will be stuck praying for a miracle or relegated to the neighborhood auntymommy. I don't agree with the fact that simply because Science CAN produce 600 embryos that we should implant every single one of them. Whether black or white I think the pictures and photo ops are cute but at the end of the day it was our choice. People compared this family to the duggards. Let me tell you why I don't agree with that Comparison. The Duggards are self sufficient. The dad owns shit. They've built their last two homes themselves. This was even before they had reality TV money. So i can be amsued at the antics of this family because I in no way am effected by thier choiced. Octomom had 8 Kids with the aid of fertility secrets, now that her money is dwindling and she wasn't able to cash in on the fame and unusualness of her situation she may be going on welfare. If I were a citizen of California I'd Be PISSED. Now the McGhee family will be living off one income. 8 mouths to feed 1 income, not even breaking 100g. Even i know the math. Public Assistance. Now people are outraged that "our" community isn't helping them out. Well Excuse the hell out of me, when one makes the argument that a single mother needs help everyone's all like "Oh the whore should have learned to keep her legs shut" but b/c these are multiples, this should be a special case and we should just all dole out help? This is wrong as hell. It isn't natural to conceive this many children at once and most species who can do so only know that maybe 1% percent will survive the 1st year of life. This isn't the case here.
When will we draw the line and say enough is enough?
Lets presume those are some basic ass carseats, at $89 a seat, that's $534 in that picture alone. And that's just the car ride home.
So no "We" aint gots to do better. They do.
very superstitious

I know folks want kids of their own, but you are right with these drugs they are taking, but with so many children out there already that parents have given up, just go and adopt one. Shoot, I have two teenagers and they already eat me out of house and home and I'm trying to imagine five. Heck to the nall.
Excuse me, I didn't see that 6th baby. Oh no!!!
:claps:
if a guy knocked up 6 hoes at one time, no one would be peaching that shit.
ok, i didnt have to call them hoes- my bad
I completely agree, with the advances we have had in science if she had invitro she should have said you doc put 4 at the most. This is just craziness. People need to start making smarter decisions. She is not the only one who needs help and I am sorry but she did it to herself so no...I don't think we need to do better...I feel people should use their brains and think is this a good idea???? and if they didn't know I will let them know....... NO IT WAS NOT....Poorly thought out
@ khaki - nope the dude's a Ho fo Sho
Girl yes to this whole gat-damned post.
They better turn to their damn families for "community assistance." Ain't nobody tell you to put all 6 of those gat-damned embryos in your uterus. IVF is expensive but both doctors AND patients need to take some gat-damned responsibility and agree that no more than 3 embryos should be implanted at a time. 3 is really pushing it but I could understand it. You endanger the woman's health AND the babies when there are more than 2 embryos.
I got a little obssessed with multiple births awhile ago and found all these blogs of women who had multiples. In more than few of the ones who had triplets or more, one of the babies died, either during pregnancy or as a newborn. It's just one of the most selfish things parents/doctors can do. Ugh.
Jon and Kate cashed in like a mug, which disgusts me but NONE OF THEM deserve it.
I'm done.
