Ah, it seems like only yesterday that those eight tiny little babies were born and they're already toddlers. Time just flies, doesn't it? Easy for me to say since I'm getting a full night of sleep and only have one child to look after. Suleman told People magazine that she's only getting two or three hours of sleep a night and that's with the help of three nannies!
Part of me says, "Hey, she brought this all on herself!" But the other part of me -- the part who remembers what it's like to be a sleep-deprived ball of stress -- really feels for her. And I have to give her props. She also told People that she makes it a point to go to the gym regularly and that her body has "bounced back" from her pregnancy. I respect that she's taking care of herself so she can take care of her 14 children and find it amazing that she's back to normal just a year after carrying 24 pounds of baby alone.
So, now that the shock has worn off, have people's opinions of the Octomom changed? How do you feel about how she's managed the first year?
More on Nadya Suleman and Her Family:
I feel that she has done well to survive through not only a year of raising the octuplets and their older siblings, but having constant abuse thrown at her and a virtual witch hunt by members of the nadya suleman forum which was recently closed down due to excessively libelous content. She has not always made the best choices, but she and the children all look clean, healthy, etc. I say congratulations to her as well as Happy first birthday to the octuplets!
I want to say Congratulations,You have made it and Why not,I’m so Glad you stood your ground and have always kept your head HIGH.I live near Ms Suleman and many times I though I’ll go and offer my help I know where her house is.Congratulations to all her Children and specially to Nadya Her Mother and all the rest of the Kids .
Congratulations Nadya,In my Book YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB
This women is despicable, take a look at the WC records and then look at the Medical board investigation. She was taking pain meds or selling them while pregnant with all her children. Here is a link to documented lies and contradictions that she has told, take a look and tell me she is still doing a good job. Far from it and WHERE ARE THE TWO SETS OF TWINS? None of those kids look alike. It’s all about Nadya and she does not care about those children. No plastic surgery, please look at the unphotoshopped photos.

For your information, the Nadya Suleman forum was closed down as a personal choice of the man who bought the domain. Get your facts straight Kelly, Millie, PS, Sandy, Duggie, or is your name Nadya?
Think about the stockpile of eggs and all the lies she told Ann Curry.
Clean and healthy looking doesn’t erase the neglect and physical abuse Nadya’s kids have suffered. Eight babies who never smile or laugh but are always crying or looked doped up on benedryl? Is that how you raised your children?
You are being libelous right now.
The NS members called it out like they saw it. Nadya is the only one, who through many interviews, proved herself to be a con-artist and habitual liar and a fraud!
The only phoneys who defend this fraud are those who are just as mental as she is or have a financial stake in her kids!
Thank God for the NS members who brought to light the criminal exploits of this welfare cheat and self-centered witch. If you are a witch, you are right, there is going to be a witch HUNT!
Read Nadya Suleman’s Workers Comp file!
That will show what an upstanding citizen she is and what a great mother she really is.
Multiple pregnancies while keeping herself doped up on the most abused prescription drugs. Oh yeah, they were for the back pain, right?
And where in those records is that size two weight, as documented by doctors more like 140 to 160 pounds average.
Yes Nadya has done a great job as an inspiration for all the welfare cheats and ghetto trash.
Not even going to address the comments about the web site other than get your facts straight before you state you opinion. YOu could not be more wrong.
Nayda Suleman is a con artist. A woman that had these babies for one reason….money. The lies and scams this woman has done over the years should and will have her standing in court defending herself. Pictures of her kids riding on her back, a back that was so bad she was recieving worker comp. Welfare, SSI, food stamps, and have the gull to bring 8 more into this world.
A complete soread of Nayda in a bathing suit on her childrens first birthday. Birthday pictures that were photoshopped…where were the other children…getting ready to throw more screwdrivers at the mother out of rage. Photoshopped pictures of Nayda ina bathing suit, might as well plopped her head on another body , would have been faster. Wonder if Nayda was thinking about the time she put her own mother in a trunk of a car while she was in the ocean trying to make us think …no tummy tuck..what a joke.
14 children…14.. being “raised” by nannies while mommy gets her nails and hair done. Woman is never with her children, the children she needed to feel complete.
Good idea Anias go volunteer to help the babysitters you sure it won’t be NS your helping…except to give her free help to afford her more spending money for herself!!!! And what was the pic on the cover of star to celebrate the tups 1st birthday.. nope not them.. but there moms trashy bikini pics, what motherly love.. showing how proud she is of her children!! And physical health and mental health are two different things..time will tell what damage has been done mentally to all her kids from having NS for a role model
You can’t seriously think she lost all the weight and skin by diet and exercise. Yes, the fat fairy came and took it, and left a quarter. Nadya Suleman had lap band surgery. You can see the port (access point) under her skin in her lower abdomen. It’s about the size of a quarter (unless you think it actually is the one that the fat fairy left), and to the average person it looks like a hernia. To a bariatric surgeon that reviewed her bikini pics however, it is the port to a lap band. Multiple plastic surgeons have also looked at the pics and confirmed that her newly located vertical belly button is also typical of a tummy lift. The visible scars help with that diagnosis. Also, it is impossible for a person to live on two or three hours worth of sleep. So that’s more stupidity. People die from that little sleep. Well, we can only hope.
We all have our opinions on what makes a good mother.
Nadya was getting workers compensation for a bad back for years yet had no problems with five back to back pregnancies producing six kids. AND three of her older kids were disabled and getting SSI.
Then she and her crazy? doctor most likely implanted quite a bit more than eight embryos… Why so many? As time goes on, the most likely reason is for fame and fortune….and be like Kate Gosselin.
Nadya has given interviews and made videos…coming across as arrogant, entitled, and selfish. However what really bothers most of us, many of us mothers, are her mothering skills.
Her mothering skills seem to be at best quite poor. She shows no love or affection when she holds a baby. She thinks toys will buy affection. She feeds her octuplets assembly line style. The same with baths. She covers them up going to the park so nobody dares take a free photo even though fresh air is good for babies. Her kids are seen eating junk they get for themselves. Her school complained her kids were often late. Her kids are seen screaming, cursing, hitting, and out of control.
If the videos show the best (?) of her household…what would be her worst?
Also, she (thinks she) dresses nice while her octuplets are dressed any old way. No big deal except why not let her babies look cute? Aren’t they important?
With a DELIBERATE high order multiples pregnancy, there is a high risk of several sickly or disabled babies. At least two babies do look sickly at almost one year in a park photo.
If some of you think that Nutya is a good mother, then I have nothing to say except you are entitled to your opinion. Me? I think she is a terrible mother (and person) and the vast majority of the public seems to agree (according to published comments)!
I would like to add that the Nadya’s household has several nannies (babysitters?) around the clock from what we can see. Nadya seems to go and come as she pleases while her babysitters do the lion’s share of the work. Probably even housework.
Most of us ordinary stay at home mothers would love to have some free time. However, we love and enjoy being with our babies and young kids….well most of the time. They are small for such a short time. (My own kids are grown.)
Most real mothers are willing to turn a blind eye to Nadya’s methods of support (workers comp, welfare, ssi, lap dancing, etc) IF she were a true stay at home mom, putting her children’s welfare first. THERE IS NOT THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF THAT. She shops, shops, shops (Ambercrombie&Fitch, Starbucks, manicures, pedicures, MAC makeup, free gym memberships, $2m hospital bill, multiple plastic surgeries, 24 hr free babysitters, and on, and on….). NADYA LOVES NADYA… Her lies are so outrageous only a mentally ill woman (or man) would tell them. All the while hard working slobs (like me and other taxpayers) support those children and NADYA! We are choking on her entitled, self-righteous, sanctimonious bullshit, and have grown increasingly sick of it.
You said it well Abby. We could all turn a blind eye to the support issues if she were a true mom. No hints whatsoever.
The Nadyasuleman.com website was shut down by the man that owned it, because the posters couldn’t stop infighting and bring the heat onto him and his site. I WONDER if the kind posters here could stand up to the scrutiny they subject Nadya to?
