Surely there are other places where Octomom Nadya Suleman would rather be spending time with dear old Dad.

A little over a week after the mother of 14 went into rehab, her father has also checked into the same facility.

"Yes, I can confirm Ed Doud was admitted into Chapman Rehab on Wednesday where Nadya is currently receiving treatment," a rep for Suleman told E! News. "They are both in a 28-day inpatient program. Nadya is in for stress, anxiety, exhaustion and Xanax. Ed is in for alcohol dependency."

Meanwhile, things aren't exactly looking all that cheery in the outside world, either.

Suleman's rep has also confirmed to E! News that a temporary restraining order has been filed against Gina Bryson, the former babysitter of the Octomom brood, after both Suleman and her 11-year-old son, Elijah, reportedly received multiple harassing texts from Bryson over the last four months. Bryson has also been accused of giving "numerous false stories about Elijah" to the press.

"Gina Bryson was told several times to stop contacting Nadya and the kids, which she ignored, which resulted in us filing the TRO," the rep said. "Nadya and the children are terrified of her and we are in the process of filing several TROs against Gina Bryson to protect the kids and Nadya from her."
