Eight is enough and enough is enough.

I don't care if she's not married. I don't care if she's living with her parents. I do care that she's carelessly bringing children into this world; children whom she is putting at risk, merely by the way she conceived them. And what I'm really surprised about is that nobody seems to care that she is probably mentally ill.

My birth mother was a paranoid schizophrenic and she continued to have children after she was told it was no longer safe mentally or physically. When my youngest sister was 6 weeks old, she had a major breakdown and we never lived with her as a family, on a full-time basis, again. There are stories of women who kill or abuse their children, but keep having them compulsively. In 1983, Diane Downs tried to kill her three children because they were interfering with her love life, and yet was pregnant at the time of her trial. Because she loved children so much? No, because having children somehow made her the center of the universe. My personal theory is that these woman crave unconditional love and keep having babies to satisfy this craving, which it never does.

Instead of giving her all of this media face-time, she should be getting some one-on-one time with a psychaitrist. Those babies are going to face enough obstacles in their lifetime. Their mother shouldn't be one of them.
