Octu-Mom, Grandma Face Off in New Vid

Mom rips daughter for irresponsibility

(Newser) – Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman and her own mother, Angela, have been sniping at each other in interviews—and now a video from Radar captures their first face-off. The bizarre sit-down includes an argument over how Nadya could have dealt with her frozen embryos and Angela’s apparent suggestion that she give them up for adoption, and ends with Angela’s admission that she “felt sorry” for the octuplets.

Another issue appears to be the house that Nadya and her now 14 children have called home, a source tells Us Magazine, with the Whittier, Calif., property owned by Angela Suleman due to be auctioned March 5 over $23,000 in delinquent mortgage payments. The source also sheds light on the mystery sperm donor, claiming Nadya made up the father’s name listed on her children’s birth certificates.

I planned on one growing, at the most two. This is all unintentional. I was not going to destroy the embryos, period.

They were lives. The only thing you can do with frozen embryos is use them or destroy them. Do you want to know how they destroy them? They allow the cells to live, and then they kill them.
