This story has truly become tragic. Her parents are probably going to lose their home. Who knows why they're filing bankruptcy but a good guess might be that they've been burdened w/helping their daughter financially support her kids. I don't want to play pop psychologist but the woman appears to be mentally unstable. So far I see no one profiting from this but instead a lot of people suffering, not the least of which are her children. I feel sad when anyone loses their home, especially at their age, and every day we read more details about this situation. Truly tragic.

Especially since he's a confirmed bachelor. (so far)

Someone may have already mentioned this but......I keep seeing Octomom out and about. Whether it's CNN, TMZ, or one of the other network news reports. Does she ever stay home? Most of the time I see her, she's out getting dolled up more and more.
How does a woman with that many small children have the luxury of traveling so much?

If her mother is taking care of the kids at home while she runs around, I can't help but wonder if the mother is crazy.

The mother probably cares for the children because they're her grandchildren and she loves them and she doesn't want them to be taken away by CPS.

That certainly is true, Mary. I wish her mother would make her daughter more responsible. I have no way of knowing how much care she's(Octomom) giving the children but the media sure makes it look minimal. I believe her mother will eventually grow tired of carrying such a large load if that's what she's doing.

She'll grow tired because no one can carry that burden alone at any age, let alone in advanced years. We can't make others be more responsible; we can't control what others do. Unfortunately, the children are going to pay the price for all of it.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Ellie, I agree. Perhaps the mother should have stopped some of the nonsense the whacko daughter is doing a long time ago.

I still cringe every time I see this Octomom character. She has that stupid grin on her face as if she's basking in the limelight.

I think she's probably trying to drum up sympathy and money. Don't know that either is working very well!!!

As far as the mother goes, if she is losing her house because of taking care of Octomom and the kids, then in a way I suppose she deserves it. She knew what she was doing, but to lose everything she has because of her reckless daughter, was a foolish move on her part. Sure - she wanted to take care of the grandkids - but at what expense? She should have put that wacko daughter out years ago, and then just maybe there wouldn't be 8 more kids to worry about now.

That's rather harsh, Ellie. Yes, the grandmother was lacking in good judgment but it's difficult to put your child out, especially when your grandchildren would go w/her. She probably thought that at least she could supervise their upbringing somewhat. I don't know the story of the grandparents. Perhaps they were/are just as impulsive and reckless as their daughter but unless and until I do know more, I'm withholding an opinion because at present, I feel compassion for them. I'm always cautious about commenting on what others deserve because I feel that opens the way for the same to happen to me. I'm sure it will all come out soon enough, the grandparents' story, too.

It's kind of a double edged sword. Being a grandmother, I can understand her wanting to make sure that they were taken care of, but at the same time, if she had practiced the tough love approach with her daughter even before there were 6, then maybe there would have been a different outcome. I feel that by doing what she did, she gave her daughter license to just keep having more kids. But what's done is done, and no one can go back and change it. It's just an unfortunate situation for all concerned - and yes - the kids will pay the price.
