London, August 30 (ANI): Nadya Suleman, the mother of the world’s longest-surviving octuplets, has called giving birth to eight babies a “mistake”.

The single, unemployed mother, who added to her previous lot of six kids after undergoing in-vitro fertilization, confessed becoming a history-making mum earlier this year was a blunder.

“I think having eight was a mistake in terms of the well-being of all the kids,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

The 33-year-old also alleged that she was living like a recluse in her suburban Los Angeles family home and that she and her family were being treated like “freaks”.

She said: “Every time we go out we are mobbed by gawpers and bullies. We get crazy reactions, from mild ones like neighbours snickering to dangerous ones.

“I’ve had very nasty threats and my car has been vandalised.” (ANI)
