I think if you look at large families and the number of addicts that come from them, it is not going to exceed the number of addicts that come from small families, especially not in the case of both parents being around. Same thing with felons. You go to a prison and most of those people there did not grow up in large families with both parents around. I do not think it is fair to assume that children that grow up in large families are more apt to become addicts and criminals or that they will lack attention. I think that is a completely unfounded assumption.
I'm just going to not read this thread anymore. Obviously it is full of a lot of unfounded opinions and people with control issues. |
Come on now. Let's wake up and smell the coffee!! Where to start......I am the 9th of 10 children and I know first hand what it was like fighting for attention...ANY attention. My Dad worked too many hours and my Mom was exhausted. There is NO WAY one person can give the care and attention needed to 14 children all by herself.
I AM one of the welfare Mom's that all you tax payers are paying for. Out of necessity. Not want. Believe it! I have a severely disabled 15 year old son. He is autistic, epileptic and is fed 24/7 via a gastric pump. Understand I'm not complaining one bit. He IS my life. I knew when he was 10 months old that he had issues and had my tubes tied. Having a child on the "spectrum", how can you honestly say that she could care for all 14?? Why in hell did she want more children. She already had 6 and one autistic. Not only will that child not get the attention he will desperately need, but there is a good chance that others may also be on the spectrum. Genetically that's a fact. THAT is what's got me upset.
Incredibly selfish!!! I can only hope and pray that Child Protective Services does a thorough investigation before allowing those prescious babies to go home with her.
One more thing. She CHOSE to have the babies and live off the system. Not fair to the taxpayer OR my son. We are on the system out of necessity. As of Jan/09 many of his medications and supplies are no longer paid for by the "system". I can barely get by on the $900 we get a month and have to ask family to pay for things. So yes, myself and taxpayer absolutely have the right to be pissed!
Okay...I'll get off my soap box
