Could you share exact information? I'm wondering if it's speculation on your part so far. Thank you kindly.

Four kids, three different dads. She doesn't work, and has applied for government assistance in this state, as she got kicked out by her live-in in another state, where she received assistance. So excuse me for being a little less than sympathetic for a woman who is bleeding our system dry.

Like I said before, I feel sorry for the children put in this situation. The only good thing I can say for this woman is that she didn't abort any of them.

If you read the posts above, I DID NOT say she got pregnant to cement a relationship. That scenario was brought up by someone else. Maybe you could tell ME why a woman would keep getting pregnant when she knows she will rely on the taxpayers to support her children. Do you have an answer for that one? Thank YOU kindly.

I believe in helping those who want to help themselves.

Nice to be ganged up on when expressing my opinion, though...LOL. You all have a great day!

I didn't gang up on you, Lisa. I asked some questions. You have supplied the answers. Thank you.

With the further information, I feel this woman should go to a homeless shelter where they can provide for needs until a job and housing are acquired. No public assistance after that. As an adult she needs to take complete responsibility of her situation, changing what is wrong to make a better life for her children. Hopefully she can find the obvious help/direction she desperately needs. Hopefully she has a heart willing and open to hear/learn/change.

My mother worked 2 jobs to maintain a meager life for her 4 daughters (no child support). She could have applied for govt assistance but refused. We learned to make ends meet with what we had. Our babysitting funds (at 25 cents an hour) were put into a family $ jar and used for necessities or a 5 cent ice cream as a treat. We shopped at thrift stores and learned to prepare foods w/in our budget. Our home was small, simple, and clean. We grew up with decency and pride, no matter our financial situation.
