No Social Life
As a mother of 14, Nadya feels much happier now as she enjoys life. She loves spending time with her youngest children, the octuplets Nariya, Makai, Noah, Maliyah, Josiah, Isaiah, Jonah, and Jeremiah, and she enjoys her moments with her other children: 17-year-old Elijah, 16 year-old Amerah, 14-year-old Joshua, 12-year old Aiden, and 11-year-old twins Calyssa and Caleb. For her children to live a more stable life, Nadya decided to move her family to Laguna, Orange County, her hometown. She explained to Daily Mail, “I was forced into doing things I didn’t want to do because I was so terrified I couldn’t support them and give them the life they deserved.”
No Social Life
A Normal Family
Nadya is a hands-on mother who has opted to forego her social life and it has allowed her to form quite a close relationship with each of her kids. She said to the Daily Mail, “They fight, play, fight and play again like any normal family.” She also faces an additional challenge since her son Aiden has autism, but her children aren’t deterred and take care of their special brother all the time. The Suleman kids know their home life is quite different from what others in America typically have but Nadya has made sure to teach her children that there isn’t anything wrong with being different.
