'I hate my babies and my older children are animals,' says Octomom Nadya Suleman



A WOMAN who gave birth to octuplets after fertility treatment says she hates her ‘disgusting’ babies.

Nadya Suleman, an American single mother who lives on state benefits, also said that her six older children were animals.

Her outburst will add to long-standing concerns about her ability to look after her huge family.

The octuplets are now two, while the older children are all under ten.

All 14 were born through IVF and three of them are said to have disabilities.

Miss Suleman, 36, who lives in a dilapidated home in La Habra, California, said: ‘I hate the babies, they disgust me.

‘My older six are animals, getting more and more out of control, because I have no time to properly discipline them.’



Miss Suleman claimed her dream of having a big family has turned into a nightmare. She said she was so poor that she had even contemplated suicide.

'The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry. Sometimes I sit there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor. Anything to get peace and quiet,' she said.

The reality TV mother has even considered suicide.



'Some days I have thought about killing myself. I cannot cope,' she said.

‘My bank account is overdrawn by $300 (£186) and I have no money to pay for the children’s school, food, or the mortgage,’ she told InTouch magazine.

‘The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry.

‘Sometimes I sit there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor – anything to get peace and quiet. Some days I have thoughts about killing myself. I cannot cope.



‘Obviously I love them, but I absolutely wish I had not had them.’

Struggling: Suleman says that her dream of having a big family has now turned into her worst nightmare as she struggles to take care of her huge brood

Miss Suleman became internationally famous when she gave birth to her eight babies – two daughters and six sons – in January 2009 after conceiving them through in vitro fertilisation.

Noah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Josiah, Jeremiah, Jonah, Maliyah and Makai are only the second full set of octuplets to be born alive in the U.S. – and not all of the previous set survived longer than the first week.

But public opinion rapidly turned against the woman the U.S. media nicknamed Octomum, after it emerged that she had six other young children, no partner and was receiving welfare benefits.

She even received a number of death threats. All 14 of her offspring are said to have the same sperm-donor father.

On their first birthday last year she revealed: ‘I don’t get much sleep, about two or three hours a night. But I’m continuing to move forward with my life and try to be the best mother I can.’

Miss Suleman has consistently claimed she is sacrificing everything to care for her brood, while continuing to receive help from state nannies.

‘I am doing everything I can to be a great parent,’ she declared last year. ‘I only have one nanny now, so that I can be with my kids 100 per cent.’ However, she now faces losing her home after falling behind with her monthly mortgage payments.

She has received some extra money from a number of appearances on TV reality programmes – prompting claims that she was exploiting the children.

She has just filmed an episode of Celebridate, a dating show for the cable network HDNet. She said that it was a new experience because she had never dated before, having been celibate for 12 years.

The fertility doctor who helped Miss Suleman has had his licence revoked from today.

California state medical watchdogs said last month that Beverly Hills doctor Michael Kamrava committed gross negligence by making ‘an excessive number of embryo transfers’ into Miss Suleman.
