"High demand but very low pay"
That's not really true as far as LPN's go. They make very good money in a Skilled Care Facility or doing homecare. Your right about nursing assistants though. They don't make near enough money for the work they do.
People should always use flashlights as a safety issue, but they cost more. My guess is her electricity had been turned off.
My first thought was ---- 10 kids and she's only 34!
As for the fire, or the car trouble, yes: there but for the grace of God go I. Raising ten kids as a single parent? No, I'm afraid I can't say the same thing about that. That was her decision. I'm raising one child with Mrs. Shalom, and considering adoption of one more, for a total of two.
No, it's her responsibility. She should be spaid.
Why is one person's poor decision making a national disgrace? There's 280 million people in this country, random chance dictates that some of them are bound to be idiots.
They also charge extra for these amenities.
What she needs more than anything else is STERALIZATION
No doubt we have been and will continue to foot her bills for many years to come! This story is most disturbing.
To introduce another subject, why were they lighting candles when there are so many small children around who can knock things over?
Wonderful Post, TSP!
It is amazing how quickly people jump to conclusions around here.
at least from the father of the first eight of her illegitimate children.

really now..daddy moved back to the East Coast! The question I have is the east coast of what? Miami is on the east coast...of the US And you don't have to be married to be getting child support.
That's sarcasm, rifht?
She had a common law husband until he left. Would you like to talk to married women here who have 8 or 9 children? Yes there is such a thing called birth control, and some religions consider it a grave sin. Seeing that the woman was with this man through the births of 8 children, until he walked out, what makes you think she's stupid? Are women supposed to assume that their marriage (common law or state sanctioned) is going to fall apart, and violate their beliefs so that someone, somewhere won't take offense at their situation? Should they use contraception because he might abandon the family?
I would agree if this woman had 7 baby daddies for her family. What I'm getting from you and the rest of the posters, is that if a woman gets stranded with a large number of children, she is stupid, a slut, a leech, and should be forced to live in a cardboard box.
She was hanging in there until her transportation broke down, and the house caught on fire.
The difference being, of course, that most of us do not make it a lifestyle.
No, no, no, NO!!!!!
I actually believe in common-law marriage--or at least, I don't believe that it's the state's job to tell people who is and who isn't married.
However, she doesn't call the man her "husband"; she reports that she was "engaged" to him when he left for the East coast. In other words, she did not think of him as a husband. Based on that information, I'm willing to bet you $500 that all of the following are true:
The first time she slept with him was before he lived with her. If he ever did, that is: one would think so, but the article doesn't say.
This man was not the first she slept with.
This man was not the last she slept with (OK, that's a gimme).
At least one of her children was born before she got "engaged" to this guy.
"Slut"? Maybe not; she has slept with at least three men, which is some people's definition of a slut, but we have no reason to believe that she is much more promiscuous than the average American female. "Stupid"? Most definitely. At the very least, she made eight babies with a man, without first making sure he was committed for life. If he assured her he was, then she's stupid for taking him at his bare word; horny men always say that. If not, she's doubly stupid.
And finally, if she honestly believes that single-parent families are as healthy for children as two-biological-parent families, then she's more than stupid. She is, intentionally or not, a child abuser.
Total BS. "Engaged" is the new expression for your shack up; it sounds more dignified. Having one child with a "fiance" I can understand; having eight is irresponsible. That doesn't explain the last two either.
