Flint mother Latrica Ryan of 10 looks to community for help - (29 year old has 10 kids)
Flint Journal ^ | Nov 29, 2008 | RoNeisha Mullen

FLINT, Michigan -- With 10 kids and no vehicle, Latrica Ryan is used to juggling.

Going to a movie or out for dinner is a like plotting a major tactical undertaking. Not that such outings happen that much.

"It would really be nice if I could take my kids where they needed to go, instead of having to find them a ride," Ryan said. "And when we do go somewhere, I have to pay four or five people (for gas) to get us all there.

"I have booster seats and car seats. It's a lot."

Ryan, is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years.

Sorry, but until you get a job, they shouldn't happen at all.

Interesting that no conservatives of faith seem to mention this and come to her defense.

That's because we're also responsible adults who expect every household to support themselves and their families, just as we do.

Interesting you ignored the obvious.

Was I mistaken, or did I hear the word “orphanage” mentioned by some GOP stalwarts in the early 90’s?

Newt Gingrich, and he was pilloried by the media. Thing is - my wife used to teach at a school that had parents like that mother. Even worse. There was one mother with 12 kids and every single one of them was special needs because she drank and did drugs during pregnancy. In suburban schools kids are rowdy on friday because they want to go home. In inner-city schools kids are rowdy on friday because they don't want to leave. Their home lives are horrible. The older kids in these families are often abusive towards their younger half-siblings.

What's the difference between those kids and Obama? They probably have to show birth certificates to get their government checks.

She should have been sterilized after the birth of her first illigeimate child. The father should be castrated. That’s the only way we’re ever going to control this irresponsible and reckless behavior. Welfare babies having welfare babies and destroying our cities has to stop.

The sad part is, I know libs that would call a large conservative family "irresponsible" (when they are self supporting), and then turn around and claim that a woman like this should have the "choice" to make as many kids as she wants to.

You're exactly right. It's amazing, isn't it?

I do hope there are letters to the editor about this...perhaps the idea of responsibility can sink in again, if not to people like Ms. Ryan, then perhaps to those who are unthinkingly paying her bills.

I wonder what the father does in this case, to avoid putting unfair burden on others.

Father? There's probably 10 fathers.

Disagree.

This wasn't a problem when the family of the woman/girl had to shoulder the burden and shame of the illegitimate baby. They kept better watch over their female offspring.

Also, fathers of boys made sure that they were better behaved and restrained, to avoid ending up on the business end of a shotgun in front of a minister.

Speaking of NINJA...she would be the perfect candidate for a sub prime mortgage.

If she was white and Mormon, and lived in Utah, would any of this be an issue? (Omit the detail about multiple biological fathers).

What you're saying is that if every single fact in this case were different, then we would probably feel differently about it?

You're probably right. But what's the point?

The person you were replying to, as far as I could tell, was supporting her children and not on welfare. No need to be harsh. I commend all stay at home moms (whose HUSBAND works to support the family).

This isn’t a “stay-at-home mom.” This is a slut.

This woman would be a whore, but frankly, whores have more dignity and class than this woman, as whores are at least vaguely aware of the idea that their sexuality has some value, even if they misperceive the currency by which it should be valued.

Yeah, if she was in a stable family and not on public assistance and the ONE father of all the kids was working to support them,

we, indeed, would “probably feel differently about it” - regardless of skin color or religion.
