People want to rag on Nadya Suleman for adding eight babies to a life that couldn't take care of the six she already has, but if you ask me, she's living the American dream.
Before getting pregnant from in vitro fertilization (for the sixth time), Nadya lived with her parents, had no job, no husband/boyfriend, and no house. Today is a different story. Nadya now holds down a job as a "ratings booster" for tv programs and websites, she just bought a half million dollar home, and she now has multiple full-time nannies. Not easy things to do during a recession.
With the recent success of shows such as "John and Kate + 8" as well as some other show with a less catchy title about some crazy family with 17 kids or something, the public was ripe for a story about a single woman with a lot of kids. To add to it, news channels and newspapers eat up stories about big pregnancies (makes me wonder why no one thought of this earlier). Nadya came up with a business plan and put it in action.
If you think about it it's all kinda funny:
Many researchers say that happiness is what we are all in search of, but few of us find it because we are so worried about obtaining it that we travel down paths that we never wanted to be on in the first place; but because someone told us that happiness was just around the corner we traveled down those paths only to end up saying "dammit".
The solution, according to the researchers, is to find something that we enjoy and stick with it. They explain that if we enjoy it we will become good at it, and as we become good at it we will become experts; and as we become experts we start to make serious money, and we all know that with serious money we can buy serious time to do whatever the hell we want.
Nadya realized this before many of us. She has repeatedly said that she loves to have babies, so she stuck with that till she became a pro and was able to push out eight in one shot. Now comes the money followed by the time. Nadya Suleman is happy.
