Her octuplets, born via IVF in 2009 and now 16, along with her six older children, form a close-knit and protective family unit that Suleman has openly documented over the years. She has faced public scrutiny regarding her decision to have such a large family, especially considering the financial challenges, which include monthly grocery bills ranging from $4,000 to $10,000. Suleman revealed that her children experienced social challenges when attending public school due to their unique family structure, prompting her to seek alternative educational environments. She is working on a new reality series aimed at showcasing the strength and closeness of her household to change public perception. Despite difficulties, Suleman emphasizes the joy and blessing she finds in motherhood and is focused on providing a healthy lifestyle for her children.
