How do you know that the youngest children were not fathered by her common law husband? she could have had the two eldest by another relationship. I don't see that being in a relationship with one person for at least 8 years to be promiscuous.
She could have gotten married with 12 bridesmaids, in church, lavish reception, and still ended up like this. If that were so, would you still call her irresponsible?
I'm sure while the father was living in the home, things worked. Like everyone is fond of mentioning beans and cornbread, you can make it work. It sounded like she was making it work...until her vehicle broke down. Then the house caught fire. Sh*t happens, and I don't think she needs to be judged so harshly.
This sounds like the story of Kerren's life.

Well, let's look at the article:
"One of her sons, 13-year-old Derrick St. Claire, guided the others to safety, displaying remarkable calm."
Then we have, "I lost everything, said Kerren Laitaille, top right, holding her 5-month-old baby, Samuel Brown, after her home burned down on Monday."
