Life as a Mom of 14 Kids: A Glimpse Inside Octomom Nadya Suleman’s World
Despite everything, she remained strong for her children, telling them the truth about her past as Octomom. She admitted to them that she had made mistakes and done shameful things, but they responded with love and acceptance, reassuring her that they would always love her.
She explained, “My kids understand that I did it all for them. Our conversations are deep and intellectual, not just about kid stuff. They are incredibly smart and aware.”
Originally from Fullerton, California, she had a bachelor’s degree in child development and worked as a family counselor.
Her daily routine started at 5 a.m., with four stops on the school run before working, picking up the kids in the afternoon, making dinner, bathing the younger children, and finally going to bed around midnight. Her only indulgence was a two-hour nap once a week.
In 2016, she transitioned to a vegan lifestyle and encouraged her children to do the same. She shared on Instagram in December of that year that she wanted to raise her children to be aware and compassionate towards all living creatures. She no longer celebrates Thanksgiving, opting instead for a meat-free Native American Heritage Day dinner, prepared by her children.
