Single mom living on $7.50 an hour video

[Chingylol]

It's a shame. She really seems like she's trying to give her son a good life.



*waits for people to say she's lazy and probably has a new Benz she drives to go buy lobster at the supermarket everynight*

Why is she a single mom? I mean, I'm pretty sure abortion is legal in this country.

22 and with a child, problem identified.

some people got a least a little morals to them.

i probably couldn't have an abortion, even if i got pregnant from being raped.

50% of single mothers in the US are below the poverty level. Also, nearly half of children born in the US are born out of wedlock.

She choose to have a child knowing she is young, makes close to no money and had a shacky relationship.

awwwh really? THROW MONEY AT HER. That way she will learn the consequences of bad descisions!

You going to abort 50% of children born in the US? Because that's how many kids are born out of wedlock, according to recent statistics.

We should withhold aid to "teach her a lesson"?

[Herecius]

What the fuck is wrong with people? If she was a teenager, I'd get it, but apparently 22 is too young to be having a child now? Seriously?

[Deleted]

Don't have a child if you can't afford one.

Crazy logic I know.

Here's the thing. It doesn't matter what she does, because as long as there is something, anywhere, they can use to feel superior they will.

Sounds like a personal problem. Both contraception and abortions are affordable and readily available. There's also the concept of saying "no." I'm not sure why I should feel sorry for this person.

If the video is accurate she leads a pretty crappy, depressing life financially even while working fulltime. Might as well kick her down even more, right?

Where's dad? He should be contributing to his child's well-being. He contributed to creating it. Even if he isn't directly involved, he has a financial responsibility, regardless if planned or not.

I'm sure she's trying and kudos for her doing what she can but just because she got pregnant doesnt mean society or her employer is obligated to pay her more. I'm pretty sure neither myself or my kids' mother got a "knocked up" bonus for having kids. Its about making responsible choices. Whether that be birth control, abortion, waiting to have kids, not dating losers, etc. I would have struggled to support a kid at 22 too. Hell, I barely supported myself back then. Fortunately I didn't make any babies.

And with those two statements you are smarter than both of my parents combined.

Actually its brought to you by "I didn't knock her up so why should I pay".

Are you so holier than thou that one mistake is enough to remove all empathy?

I'm sure you're well aware of the economic and criminal consequences of children raised in poverty. You're not an island.

These forums struggle with this concept but some people actually want to keep their kids.

22 and with a child, problem identified.

30 years ago that was the average age of childbirth in the US. People have been gradually putting off parenthood, now it's more like 26. Plus teen pregnancy is at record lows.

It's actually one of the reasons most Western civilisations are experiencing declining birth rates (below replacement levels) and an ageing population.

Seems like having kids while out of wedlock and broke is the problem. Choices have consequences. Live with the.

I have kids too but their mother and I pay for them. No one is asking/receiving aid. But then again we are responsible adults.

I am indeed!

I'm in favor of building more prisons, so I don't know what you're trying to convince me of. Handing her a blank check isn't going to get her out of poverty. She made a life choice and gets to deal with it. Making a youtube video to pander for sympathy is gross.
