OctoDoc

Dr. Phil is doing his whole show on him today, evidently at least one former patient of his has some kinda complaint.

You know when you look at pictures of the doctor and the kids, do they not all look like him??? LOL! Wouldn't that be a weird twist in the story, if he fathered all the kids? You notice, we have yet to see or hear from the real father/donor. This was just a funny thought. DISCLAIMER: Not anything I have heard or read anywhere!

I wish Dr. Phil would stop promoting this woman and her doctor and her story. This isn't the first time he's had Octomom's story on in the past few weeks. When I see he's doing her again, I just switch the channel. Stop giving this woman publicity!!!

I hear that some are saying CPS should just take all her children away from her.

I definitely agree wholeheartedly. And especially the part about taking all the kids from her. They need and deserve way more than she could possibly ever provide for them.

BUT that is NOT what our country is founded on!

WHO ARE YOU to decide and incriminate someone just because you have an idea on what is the perfect mother/father or family situation?

I really think all need to rethink their ideas on this, and REALLY take a good inner look as to what you are really saying.

It's ridiculous.

The woman has "issues" cantering1. That's very obvious. We need and have laws in place to try and PROTECT innocent children. What am I really saying? The womans "issues" may interfere with her ability to raise 14 children. If they check her out and she passes then what's the big deal? If they check her out and she needs help/kids need help or whatever then that's what laws are for. I think you need to chill a little bit on this yourself!

One of the FIRST things my husband said when this story came out "I bet the Dr used his own sperm" lol

We have been watching way too many Law and Order episodes! LOL! Didn't they have an episode where that happened?

Didn't that actually happen in real life a few years ago?? I'll have to do a little research. But I believe there was a doctor who used his own sperm with a lot of woman!! He was sued over it, I believe.

And I just saw on the news this morning that now Dr. Phil is going to do an 'exculsive' interview with Octomom and the Dr. Phil show has rented a 1.25 million dollar mansion to do the interview. I'll definitely be changing the channel that day.

You know, I used to really like Dr. Phil and Robin. I even bought Robin's first book. But I think Hollywood has gotten to them now and it's all about the ratings (and money).

Gimme a break

No one is saying that this moron has to be the "perfect" mother -- we just expect her to be able to provide the basic needs of her children. And she is not doing that -- by ANYONE'S standards -- except maybe YOURS????

There is absolutely no question that authorities are investigating this entire situation and some, if not all, of these poor kids will hopefully end up in home where they will at least have a chance at a normal life.

Beware travelers afar, giant trolls guard these grounds. Often known to eat travelers foolish enough to stray into their domain after dark, they have semi-magical powers such as prophesy and shape shifting. They are huge, hard-skinned, and virtually indestructible except when hit by sunlight, which turns them to stone.

Something I find interesting in all this is that some are saying that it can be defended by the woman's right to choose. That it was her choice to have the babies and she should have the right to make that choice.

There really was a doctor in Ohio (?) back in the 1990s that used his own sperm and lied to his patients. Law and Order did their version of the story.

Dr. Phil's ratings have tanked this year. I've read that several places. He is not pulling in the viewers that he once had. I think that with all of this Octo stuff, he is just trying to lure viewers back. It turns me off though.

I do think the media will keep this family in the news. That should keep childrens services in the picture too. I'm sure they see all of the red flags in this situation.

Wouldn't it be great if she also chose to support those kids instead of milking taxpayers and exploiting the kindness and compassion of others?

I think Dr Phil has gotten too soft on some of his guests, especially when they are idiots! That was the whole reason everyone loved to watch him back in the day, because he really told it like it was. Now his shows seem fake and wierd. I have not watched him in ages.
