Octomom Reflects on Parenting Regrets, Sets Strict Rules for Children

Nadya Suleman, known as 'Octomom', reflects on her parenting journey and shares insights from her college education in child and adolescent studies, which she believes has influenced her approach to raising her 14 children. In recent interviews, she admitted to feeling she 'failed as a parent' due to her permissive parenting style, acknowledging the need for structure and discipline alongside love. Suleman has implemented strict rules for her children, including a ban on dating until age 18, limited phone access, and a complete prohibition on social media, which she describes as 'toxic.' Additionally, she expressed regret for not suing her fertility doctor, who implanted an excessive number of embryos, but remains grateful for the resulting children. Instead, she pursued legal action against the hospital for improperly disclosing her medical information, resulting in a fine for the facility. Suleman's story continues to unfold as she launches a new biopic and reality show detailing her experiences as a mother.
