Octomom's Father Talks to Oprah

Oprah Winfrey interviewed the grandfather of the octuplets to talk about his daughter Nadya's mental state.

In an upcoming "Oprah," Ed Doud speaks candidly about Nadya Suleman, saying, "I'm no psychiatrist, but I question her mental situation." Doud also calls the actions of his daughter and her doctor "absolutely irresponsible."

Doud tells Winfrey his greatest hope for his family is "To stay healthy and have my grandchildren -- all of them to be healthy -- and the mother to finish her schooling and start working, and we all could support this family."

Doud's entire interview airs on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" this Tuesday.

I have a friend who’s daughter, 15 just had a premi and she is far more mature than this 33 year old woman. We need help for this young lady to build a room for the baby and I don’t know how to set up a web site. She is back in school with mom helping her, but her little bedroom is only 9x9 and we are asking for donations for lumber to build a tiny nursery. If anyone can help, please email me. patnal10@bellsouth.net. We are not begging, we are just asking. I’m trying to contact Habitat for Humanity with no luck so far. So if you know a contractor who is willing to give a gift card at Home Depot in Lafayette, Louisiana, we would appreciate it. Pat

Nadya should recieve a full evaluation before she takes those babies home..and child services look into the living arrangements. I fill so sorry for all the children, and I now that some of them are going to feel neglected when all those babies eventually come home.

Ed Doud Sulemen knows more than he is telling; very cagey. No sense in trying to make sense out of nonsense. Most feasible suspect: Anyone ever wonder why Marcos Gutierrez’s sperum was not used? After all she was married to Marcos from 1996 to 2008. Marcos and Nadya were divorced in 2008, had no children the degree claims. Now, Nadya’s Dad tells Oprah that he has seen the father of Nadya’s children only once when he came to their house. I think the Suleman clan is covering up what is yet to be discovered. Common sense says that Nadya could have had IVFs with Marcos. Why didn’t she? Or did she? She seems emphatic that Denis Beudion is not the father and claims to know who the father is. Does Dr. Kamarava know? MARCOS may be the father of 14 children. Maybe the investigation going on with him will give us some tell-tale.

I work in the mental health field and there are people we call hoarders (they usually hoard animals) but maybe octomom is a baby hoarder? in any case it is obvious that she has some mental health isuess. S
he appears to have a very grandious personality. Now that these babies are here we need to make sure that she gets the help she needs not only to help with the babies but to prevent her from doing this again. If someone has a disability including a mental health condition we need to stop making it worse and help her I feel all this publicity is feeding into her menal health issues.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am getting real tired of hearing about the Octomom. I think she is pathetic. She has totally used these poor innocent beautiful babies to get publicity and famous. She is admitting she can’y do this on her own, so WHY do it? Why have all of these babies, when she is FULLY aware that she can’t take care of them. I wish all of her children the best in life, however I think the mom herself, is pathetic for what she has done to this innocent family.

Does one really believe the Black guy is the father? I think the THIS NUT wants his 15 minutes of fame. None of the kids have black features/hair. African genes are extremely dominant and one of the 6 kids look like him.

Well I just watched the grandfather on Oprah, he answered with “I don’t know” way to much. Most everything was I don’t know. Sounded to me like he was only there to ask for money.

So how do you go about helping the kids without putting money in the moms pocket? I don’t want any of my money go go towards her personal grooming, nails nor plastic surgeries.

AND…………exactly what kind of job is she going to get that is going to pay for daycare for all those kids. Her parents aren’t going to be around forever, she is working them to death taking care of them kids.

OH AND! Why the heck wouldn’t the grandfather say what country he is working in?

The family needs to quit airing their DIRTY LAUNDRY and their SQUABBLING in interviews. It is just adding fuel to the fire. I worry about those 14 kids, heaven please help them make it through this world. If the family stays out of the spotlight, this story will eventually fizzle. the family being on tv is making it harder for the children, they should worry about those innocent children who did not ask to be brought into this huge mess, the more they are on tv, the worse it gets. Poor children, God please help the little innocent children.

I can’t believe the news media is so fascinated with this whole family. I’m tired of seeing these people and tired of hearing about them. Nadya is out of her mind. She nothing but a bottom feeder.

If the grandfather want’s these children to be healthy and taken care of, then he better get to it.

This is his daughter’s responsibility, not the country’s. How many people out there supporting your children? None, you are supporting, raising, loving, clothing, and feeding your own children.

This women went into this with her eye’s wide open and seen a meal ticket by having these children, nothing more.

I don’t think Nadya is capable of loving and taking care of these children, as we can see she couldn’t handle the six she already had, her mother had to do it.

I am one of eight children and we didn’t have them all at once, each year my mother had another one, and believe me it wasn’t no easy task on a daily basis. My father worked 2 job’s and my mom was a stay at home mom. My mother also had help because all my aunt’s and uncle’s lived next store to us.

My parent’s made sure we did family thing’s on the weekend’s and we always went on vacation for the whole month of July as a family down to the shore.

My mother wasn’t dumping her kid’s with her mother so she could go shopping with other people’s money.

My parent’s financial supported us on their own, raised us and sent all of us to Catholic School. Even back then tuition and uniform’s where alot for 8 children, but they worked to put us through school.

If you choose to have so many children then it is your responsibility to support and take care of them, not the country.

This women hasn’t worked since the first child she had. She has lived on welfare and then she tried to lie about it.

Anything this women say’s, you cannot believe. She doesn’t know how to tell the truth. She’s dillusional.

yes they were irresponsible. but i hope that she finishes school and gets a great paying job it is not her parents responibility to take care of her kids. she needs to grow up and stop trying to fill a void and get some therapy.

Iread an article where a man states he might be the sperm donor and is willing to take a paternity test and take care of the children. Why would Nayda be against that? A man is willing to step forward and help with the children, I admire him. Nayda sounds like she doesn’t want that possible sperm donor in the childrens’ lives. Something is not right with this picture. If i was Nayda, I would be happy that a man is willing to step up to the plate and help, is she afraid she will lose benefits, whatever the heck she is getting?


- Nayda, u r not thiking straight

Nayda is slowly moving out of the limelight. Soon, she will be history and she will move on with her life and her children and somehow, they will make it, I hope for the childrens sake.

What they hey speculates hanky-panky could be afoot. Well, Doud Sulemen translated frpm Angelic to English(droping the Ed which is not an Iraqian name)becomes “David Soloman.” Nadya’s dad, Doud meaning David, Sulemen meaning Soloman, divorced Angela, his wife, many long years ago when in his prime but continued to live with his daughter Nadya, her six offspring with the last name Soloman, and his x-wife. The plot thickens, Nadya filed fror her last name tp be change her to Soloman, never followed up on it. That change would link Solomon to Suleman. DNA can be matched. Doesn’t pass the smell test.How about a DNA test?

Mystery sperm-donor says he gave sperm at home. Nadya placed sperm in her breast cavity to keep it warm till she got to the IVF clinic. She approached him to donate, claiming to have cancer and couldn’t conceive. SAT WHAT? HE claims to have donated 3 times to clinic. Dated her between 1997-1999. So happens she was married then; married 1996 — and dicorced 2008. Ooops! He thinks he is the father of 8. What about the other 6? Nadya claims ALL 14 have same sperm donor. Why would we believe a person who is a psychopathic liar? She denies this man is the donor. Why not? She lives in a world of denial! One thing for sure is that DNA won’t lie. Nadya may end up in the wringer on this one. Watch Good Morning America Monday,exculsive interview with Mystery Donor, his name to be revealed.

“There was an old woman who lived in a shoe, she had so many children she didn’t know what to do.” Wanton and reckless Nadya Sulemen, known also as Natalie Denise Suleman, Nadya Denise Doud, Natalie Denise Doud and Natalie Suleman-Gutierrez while married, has a little too much fruit in her loop!

7-year-old Elijah Makai Solomon (boy), 6-year-old Amerah Yasmeen Solomon(girl),
5-year-old Joshua Jacob Solomon (boy), 3-year-old Aiden Solomon (boy), 2-year-old Calyssa Arielle Solomon (girl, twin), 2-year-old Caleb Kai Solomon (boy, twin), Noah - male 2 lbs 11 oz, Maliah - female 2 lbs 12 oz, Isaiah - male 3 lbs 4 oz, Nariah - female 2 lbs 8 oz, Makai - male 1 lb. 8 oz, Josiah - male 2 lbs 12 oz,Jeremiah - male 1 lb 15 oz & Jonah - male 2 lbs 11 oz. All have Angel as middle name & Solomon as last name. Doubtfull “David Solomon” is the biological father’s real name but it appears on four of prior children’s birth documents; one document listing Solomon ‘s “State of birth” as Israel. Nadya Suleman started procedures to change her legal name to Nadya Solomon in 2001; name remained unchanged, no name-change decree on file. Hmmmmm!!

The mother did an interview for $40,000.00, the father got how much for Oprah? Octocmom got how much for her interviews and they are being evicted? Can’t pay the bills with some of the free money they just got? Will they use that money to pay the hospital bills?

The field is also lucrative: In vitro fertilizations can cost up to $15,000 per cycle, and many patients undergo multiple cycles.

Well one good thing is that all her children have the same last name of SOLOMON. They don’t have different daddies names.
