Slideshow: Octuplets born in Calif. hospital Play Video Video: Octuplet Birth Raises Ethical Concerns ABC News Play Video Video: 'Only Child Syndrome' FOX News AP – This image provided by NBC shows Nadya Suleman, left, speaking with Ann Curry in New York on Thursday, … LOS ANGELES – The mother of the woman who used a fertility doctor to give birth to octuplets, despite already having six young children, called her daughter's actions "unconscionable" in an interview posted online.

Angela Suleman is caring for the six older children while her daughter is hospitalized after giving birth Jan. 26 to the octuplets.

"She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this?" Angela Suleman said in the videotaped interview with celebrity news Web site RadarOnline.com. "I'm struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there's children's clothing piled all over the house."

The Web site posted photographs Sunday from inside Angela Suleman's disheveled three-bedroom home, where Nadya and her brood also live. Heaps of clothing pour from an open closet door and a carpeted bedroom, where a bedsheet serves as a curtain, is cluttered with cribs.

Nadya Suleman's publicist Mike Furtney said that his client has been away for nearly two months, so shouldn't be held responsible for the home's current condition.

Furtney said his client planned to move into a larger home once the octuplets were healthy enough to leave doctors' care.

He declined to comment on any of the remarks Angela Suleman made about her daughter in the interview.

"Those are very personal issues between a mother and a daughter," he said.

Angela Suleman said Nadya's boyfriend was the biological father of all 14 children, but that she refused to marry him.

"He was in love with her and wanted to marry her," she said. "But Nadya wanted to have children on her own."

Nadya Suleman, a divorced single mother, told NBC's "Today" show that the same fertility specialist provided in-vitro fertilization for all 14 of her children.

Angela Suleman seemed to contradict that account, saying the fertility specialist who helped her daughter give birth to the octuplets was a different doctor from the one who aided in the birth of her first six children.

Angela Suleman said she and her husband pleaded with Nadya's first fertility doctor not to treat their daughter again, so Nadya found another doctor to work with.

"I'm really angry about that," Angela Suleman said of the doctor's decision to perform the procedure.

A Medical Board of California spokeswoman said Friday that it was investigating the doctor — who has not been identified — to see if there was a "violation of the standard of care." The spokeswoman did not elaborate on the nature of the potential violations.

Angela Suleman also challenged her daughter's remarks in the NBC interview that she always wanted a large family to make up for the loneliness she felt as an only child.

"We raised her in a loving family and her father always spoiled her," Angela said.

Looks like Gramma is tired of raising her Looney Toon daughters kids

Looking at her picture on the internet, she's almost surely had some work done, too. She has those fat lips you get from the plastic surgeon.

Sounds like a "copycat breeding" to me...lol. Duh!!

Guess Angelina Jolie had an influence... lol!

Anyway, this woman to just had 8 kids is obviously a nut case. To "make up" for a "lonely" childhood by starting a "baby mill" (e.g.: "puppy mill") without regard to consequencies, etc. Oh well...it takes all kinds to suck the wellfare, news sensationalism, and other venues...

Also, I suspect the Doctors (I use the term loosely) who performed the implantings are also probably investigating the book, medical journal article, etc., options. What's next for that woman? No more eggs, etc? Cloning??

If I were her parents, I'd disown her and say "It's been nice...I'm out of here"...lol.

Anyhoo...you'd think any "inadequate" woman who already had had 6 kids should have "proven" to herself that yes, I am a female and I can get pregnant and I can produce a live birth... Ok...what's next? :dunce: :lol2: :help: :shock: :banana: :roll:

I just hope all the kids come out of this healthy and happy. Fat chance,but I'm hopeing.

The doctor is just as irresponsible as she is. I saw a few minutes of her tv interview and she said the same dr. did all her IVF. She previously had one set of twins, so that was 6 pregnancies they gave her.

I have always wondered about IVF, surrogate mothering and all the other unnatural extremes that people will go to have "their own" children when there are so many children already in the world that need foster care and/or adopting.

Some of her kids might well end up in foster care or adopted. It would be hard enough to raise 14 children with the optimal husband/wife family. A single mother with 14 kids and a bad back???? If her family doesn't come through and help her out, what kind of life can she give those kids?

But since the public is so curious about the whole thing, she'll probably make enough soon from tv and book deals to provide for them if she manages well.

Suleman told NBC News correspondent Ann Curry in an interview that she was not receiving welfare. Furtney said Suleman didn't consider the food stamps and SSI to be welfare.

"In Nadya's view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare," he said. "They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare." Video

Furtney declined to say what kinds of disabilities the three children have, the Times reported.

During the interview with Curry, Suleman said, "I'm not receiving help from the government. I'm not trying to expect anything from anybody. just wanted to do it on my own. Any resources that someone would really, really want to help us, I will accept, I would embrace."

Curry told Suleman that many people think she had the octuplets in the hope of making money off her story.

"That's funny how untrue that is," Suleman said. "Money? Money is necessary to raise children. But it's — it's paper. It is paper. To me, it is superfluous in contrast to the importance of my kids."

NBC chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman has estimated the cost of delivering the infants and caring for them until they are healthy enough to leave the hospital at $1.5 million to $3 million
