Nadya Suleman and the Octuplets

Last night I was watching the interview with Nadya Suleman and her reasoning of having 14 children. I have always wanted a lot of kids, but I know its not going to happen and I'm not going to risk everything. I was thinking about the attachment theory during Nadya's interview. While she was growing up, she was not close to either her mother or her father. She got married and later decided she didn't want to be married, she just wanted kids. Under the attachment theory, I think she is having kids to make up for the lost or lack of relationship with her parents. Nadya Suleman surprised me with the way she went about fulfilling her need for someone to need her. I wander what kind of relationship those 14 kids are going to have with her and with there siblings as they grow up.
