Single Mother six kids and counting.....

[willow80834]

Our system is cracked,  I think if your on the system you should have to do public service, ( teach the children NOTHING is for free )   and i think they should have to do drug test ( if you go nothing to hide whats the big deal )   So many people do use the system as a way not to get a job...    I live in rural america and let me tell ya   its a serious prob here as well....   single or not if you cant afford 6 kids dont have em

I can see both sides on this one.  My husband and I both had kids before we got together.  I stay home with the kids, he works.  We have NEVER used government assistance. We make it work.  His ex, on the other hand,  just keeps on popping them out, and on the last one had to figure out which of 5 guys was the father was.  She purposely works as little as possible and uses all the government assistance she can get.  People like her should get her tubes tied. It just makes me sick.  But there really are people out there that can take care of several kids and not need government assistance.

For those of you who believe their should be a ban on the amount of children born, are living in the wrong country.  Move to China or wherever they have such bans.

Yes, let's not have any limits on a country that is home to 1.5 BILLION people.  Because, you know, it's not like people starve or anything as a result.   

Like I said.....if you don't like the free choices this country offers, then you would be better off in a country that holds more to your dictates of family/child control.  Would you have liked it better if your mother choose abortion and not had you?  After all, look at the space you are taking up. 

Oh, but that's different right?  Your birth was so much better than anybody else's?

Being a single parent is hard enough when you have one child, as I do. But I couldn't imagine trying to raise six on my own. I don't think that you should assume that a mother is a single parent just because she is at wal-mart with 6 children. She could be babysitting or her husband could be at work I think that we should all stop assuming and getting pissed over things we aren't sure of. But anyway fyi the government doesn't even give out government assisstance to mothers like the back in the day welfare programs now moms are required to actively look for work and just to get kibbles and bits, well at least in Atl.

Would you have liked it better if your mother choose abortion and not had you?

lol  That's a stupid thing to say.  Yes, stupid.  It's stupid because if she had gotten an abortion, I wouldn't have known the difference.  Just like the kids hubby and I will probably never have will never know the difference, either. 

Same ol' one liners, same ol' logical fails!

Same old put downs and labeling someone stupid (or worse) when you don't like their opinion.  Grow up!

Again....you did not address the question....is your birth so much better than anybody else's?  It's easy to dictate for others when you yourself have already been born and are enjoying life.

It is you who needs to mature and learn to accept some criticism.  We all say and do stupid things.  Do you expect to get a free pass when something you say is patently false?

you did not address the question....is your birth so much better than anybody else's?

No it's not.  I'm not the one running around thinking the whole universe was made just for me.  *hint, hint*

We see this with other countries so much more of a bigger issue because there is no food or water for them to drink, and yet we wonder why someone doesn't take a bunch of birth control over to them. But the world does not work like that, we are not in a perfect world, we are in a world that is full of sadness and dispair, and you may think I am talking about the welfare or the  poor, but I am actually talking about the rich that turn their backs on the poor, the ones with money who shutter to help the poor, or the ones that say why did they bring a child into this world, they did not bring a child into this world, they brung another child in, because that was God's plan, this world is not the end. God will take care of all His children in His Kingdom, this place is only temporary and it is our temporary chance to get our heart on right, and not put others down or judge them, but ask God to help them, feed them and take care of all His precious angels, for one day, the last shall be first, and the first last, the ones with the right heart, who truly seek the Kingdom of God will be with Him and all His Glory.

Get off it!  What I said was not stupid, but my opinion, and in answer of what you posted.  Just because you think it's false, doesn't make it so.  You always come off with your "know it all" attitude, peppered with put downs and verbal sarcasm.  Somebody doesn't see things like you do?  Too bad!!

you did not address the question....is your birth so much better than anybody else's?

No it's not.  I'm not the one running around thinking the whole universe was made just for me.  *hint, hint*

As a matter of fact, the whole universe was made for humanity, and life is a gift from God. Since you have denounced God and His existence, then your response is nothing more than verbal sarcasm.

That's what it really comes down to, doesn't it?  ms. atheist.

Maybe you shouldn't make snap judgements. My mom has four plus raising my sisters two kids. She works two jobs and doesn't get any assistance. Hateful much?

[mattymatt79]

Told you all the OP wouldn't come back to the thread. She has a history of doing exactly that even when people make convincing points otherwise.

i know someone with 4 kids and she has never been married and her baby daddy only comes around every so often and he is on and off drugs all the time. she has food stamps but she has a job but i dont think they give her enough hours and she doesnt have a babysitter so watch her 2 youngest so the older ones watch the other 2. she has been with a new guy and he has 2 kids of his own and a little girl who he calls his own. i felt really bad for the lady coz she was trying. always having garage sales to get extra money. i with they would have stayed upstairs but the place was too small. they moved and i havent seen them since.

[Storm61115]

so, the lady with the 4 kids and the dead beat dad has got a house with her now bf and his kids, her yard floods and her basement but they didnt care, they took the house ne way coz the oldest wanted in a different school district coz he was getting bullied at his former school. she has a job through a temp agency and lives 1 mile away from our place.
