I assume her motives are to let it catch on and either sell ad space or sell the site for zillions when it's as popular as old UB was. [ Reply | More

[ - ] annyone else fed up with angelina? i just read that it is confirmed that her twins were conceived via IVF (no huge surprise there) and the reason that they turned to IVF is because they just wanted to get pregnant right away. as someone who struggled with infertility for years, it makes me absolutely sick that someone who claims to be such a humanitarian and such a selfless soul would do something so self serving like that (especially since she has tons of other children - it wouldnt have killed her to try on her own for a few months!!). i also think its deplorable that her doctor was willing to do IVF on her for NO MEDICAL REASON!!!! i am glad that she and her twins are healthy, but this is an example of such a gross abuse of the wonderful reproductive technology we have access to. just had to rant 26 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

im not going to get defensive with you because you seem like a miserable and ignorant bitch, but you must have misunderstood my rant. i was simply floored by the hypocracy of her child-collecting ways and the abuse of medicine on the part of her doctors. [ Reply | More

i don't really think it's fair to comment on a specific person's decision, but yes, that does make me pause. something doesn't feel right with me and i'm not fully sure exactly what it is. i almost feel like she's collecting kids. i havea lot of friends with large families and i don't have a problem with the idea of having lots of kids. but maybe it's the ivf after adoption that's bothering me. or maybe it's the old "she can't be a supermom, i won't allow it" jealousy thing.

I get the collecting kids thing, but I am sure she has more household help than anyone here, which puts her very far from even entering super mom category. As for IVF, yuck if there was not medical reason. [ Reply | More

right, i'm sure she has a lot of help. but then i have an even bigger feeling of distaste. even though in theory i don't think there's anything wrong with having help. i think it's the combination of the adoption plus the age differences plus the presumed ivf that just makes me feel she's too enamored with this parenting thing and that something has to be too easy for her. kwim?

I wonder if she did IVF for Shiloh? It's truly bizarre why a seemingly healthy 30 yo woman who apparently can conceive naturally would want to do IVF. If what you say is true, yes I agree it's gross abuse of medicine. [ Reply | More

np: well she looked like a skeleton after she had Shiloh. maybe she wasn't ovulating because she was so thin. Still she should have eaten a cookie or two before turning to IVF. [ Reply | More

[ - ] No bashing please, need honest advice that only UB members can give. Been with mate 3 years. He's married and been seperated 15 years, he has a son that just turned 21. His "estranged" wife has a live in mate and they have a daughter together. My mate and I have a 3 month old. We dont live together officially but he's never at his place. I've talked to him about getting the divorce going many times and he says he will but he has yet to start anything. I thought he may be waiting for his son to turn 21 so it would be easier because they could do a divorce with no minor children but his son turned 21 5 months ago and still no action. Do I mention it YET AGAIN or do I tell him to start staying at his own place until he commences action or what do you suggest? It's one thing to not be married and having a child and quasi living together and taking care of the child but a whole nother thing when you are doing that AND the father is married to another woman! 24 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Okay, but you knew the status quo going into it--it doesn't make that much sense to change tack now. I mean, I get that it's not a good situation. But you chose to have a child w/ the guy. I don't get this thing of getting involved w/ a guy thinking you're going to change him. If he'd wanted a divorce he would have gotten one ages ago. He doesn't need to, so why should he?
