You forgot this part of my comment.
No I didn't: I smashed it to pieces by daring you to bet me whether the first child was born before or after they started shacking up together. You simply can't equate this with a marriage; Laitaille went and got herself knocked up out of wedlock, and then like a stupid cow she proceeded to repeat the trick seven more times.
Any girl who assumes the guy is in it for life, and doesn't find it suspicious that he doesn't tie the knot, is stupid. And any girl who starts pumping out babies before putting him through at least the simplest loyalty test--a ring and ceremony--is also stupid. Unless she didn't want a permanent relationship in the first place, in which case she's of questionable moral character.
Just because the father left after 8 years or 8 children doesn't make her someone that is abusing her children.
I already stipulated that she might not be an abuser--she might just be stupid. Did you miss the mention of Madonna and Murphy Brown, by way of contrast?
It was a long term relationship and the father of 8 of the children left her...
There was nothing "long term" about it when she started banging him. She was nineteen, and gave it up without so much as making him say "I do" first.
I hope girls are insulted when they hear the proverb, "Who needs the cow when the milk is free?" I hope they're VERY insulted. And if the shoe fits, I hope they take a good hard look into the mirror, and say "MOOOO!"
It really doesn't matter to me when she had her first child.
I am offended by the tittilations you and some others here have been giving this woman.
Excuse me,but there are many women that waited until they were married to have children and then the marriage didn't work out.
One never knows how things can turn out in live and a ceremony,wedding band and marriage certificate is no guaranty for happily ever after.
It seems to me that everyone jumped on the band waggon of trashing this woman on the assumption,that she was living on welfare and not providing for her own.
I still have yet to find, where in this article it states that she has been receiving Public assistance.
Please point out that fact.
BTW,who are we to judge someone?
