Welfare moms

@ bratmommy3t
There is a thing called birth control or abstinence! Unless you were raped there really isn't an excuse to have three kids with three different men! And I'm not trying to be cruel because I believe in government help, but only if its used as a stepping stone to get in a better place & be independent. Some people just use it for the rest of their lives & that's not cool. Instead of just giving hand outs they really should pay for training programs to make people more self sufficient.

OMG!!!!!! I feel totally the same. The government needs to seriously enforce stricter regulations on people living on welfare. There are people who need it, but a majority are lazy, ambitionless, sleazy-scum bags who want to live off my parents hard earned money. It annoys me sooooooo much when people take advantage of the system, and because they know they can they will continue to do so.

It is now known what causes pregnancy and it can easily be prevented. If sex is your way of attracting men then use condoms or birth control, available free at the clinic.

i agree they should take more precautions not to get pregnant if they dont have the money to support a child

In my opinion, if you're on welfare, you should not only need a drug test, but also do community service or public works project before you are allowed to collect on welfare or else you can starve in the streets. Most nations are this way and I wish this one would think that way.

Don't get me started on this topic! it pisses me off to no end!!

don't tell me you're jealous...

sounds like someone i know. she has six kids all diffrent fathers no job. a true leach on the system. i'd get rid of the welfare system and make them get jobs. if they don't let them starve.

I want u all to know not everyone who is on welfare are mothers who continue to have kid after kid so everyone shouldnt judge unless they know what there talking about. I im a 33 yr old single mother who worked for yrs to take care of my family who recently lost my job and had to get help from welfare to take care of my family u cant just say go get a job there hard to find im out day in and day out putting in applications and posting resumes so for you to say let my family starve what type of person are you what if this was you i paid thousands into social security and i know when i retire it wont b there so the help i get is from me to not just from you so dont judge is everyone helped out this world wouldnt b so messsed up

Not all moms that are on welfare are like that. My mom used to be on welfare when I was a kid. She was laid off, due to budget cuts. She was a teacher. Anyway, she used it until all of that bs settled and was able to get another teaching job. She made an effort to find jobs and found one. She didn't enjoy being on Welfare at all. She was ashamed to have to get public assistance, but she swallowed her pride and did what she had to do to make sure my sister and I had something to eat. We didn't have a merry old time and fabulous feasts that were bought by foodstamps. My mom didn't use welfare for us to enjoy ourselves and pretend that we living the good life.She made sure that we knew that welfare is used as a last resort and if happens to use it strictly as a way to help us get back on our feet. That's it. No welfare parties lol.

Don't judge all women on welfare if you've never lived it. And anyway, you said that you see these women spending their welfare checks at the mall or whatever. How do you know that they're on welfare? You have some kind of crazy welfare mom radar? Oh wait no you use profiling. Oops, my bad...Calm that judgemental shit down.

Young girls are basically stupid that why they get pregnant and ruin their lives and we have to pay for it. They should be sterilised

I'm all for involuntary sterilization under certain circumstances, but this is a slippery slope.

Why is this question in the sex category?

if you pray to end aboriton on sunday you should demand your taxes raised on monday to pay for them

Because it's their body. There really isn't much we can do about it. Just don't be like them or their baby daddy's.

If there "welfare moms" have paid their taxes, then I am afraid it is no-ones business what they claim because it would then be fair to say it's their money, and these "welfare mums did not get pregnant on their own, why don't people ever judge these run away fathers instead of targeting innocent women who want to be mums? x

Its hard to judge people. Some moms on welfare are leaches, but others are out of bad relationships or abandoned by the partner they thought loved them and the kids and honestly need to be on welfare.
You don't get much money from the government and can't keep child support so I can't see it as a place where someone would stay after the time they actually need it unless they are truly just lazy.
The priority is the kids not the moms, thats what welfare is for. To make sure they have a home and food.

I am on welfare, and have got 3 children. I was with a man (father of all 3 kids) for 16 years. We have a mortgaged house, he worked and I worked part time from home. I found out he was cheating on me with prostitutes, and the relationship ended. I have no choice than to be on welfare for the time being as My youngest is one. I cant say its the life I planned but I do get fed up with the comments because people assume we are all the same, and choose this way of life. I certainly didnt but I cant help what my ex did, and now he only sees the kids 1 hour a week, his choice, and we have had 2 sets of summer holidays, plus xmas etc, and he hasnt taken them out once. I feel myself and kids are suffering, after all he has 2 bikes, gym membership and a car, and a very good social life and wage, and all we have is welfare to live on, so a break from people tarring us with the scrounging brush would be nice!!

im a single mom [boyfriend doesnt count] and i refuse to use the system. yes, my son's grandparents helped alot, but ive never been one to accept charity. my mom refused too get off her ass and get a job bc they would cut her disability check, not even thinking that a decent job would more than make up the difference, and i swore i would never ever live off the government. so i work my butt off. anyone who chooses to live off the system, and have more children when they cant afford the first one should be ashamed of themselves. that child/ those children deserve(s) better.

I'm torn on the subject. I think welfare is necessary. Some people just fall on hard times. No one is perfect! Shit happens and people lose their jobs. BUT I think you were mainly referring to women who just jump in and become baby machines.

I don't think anyone should have restrictions on the number of children they have. BUT..I do think there should be some sort of limit or restriction so that people cant sit on their asses all damn day and do nothing. Having people do community service to 'repay' welfare while they are recieving it if they are able I think is a good idea.

My mother is a hardworking woman and one day she fell in a depression where the doctor advised her to take sometime off from work.

I was 17 when the welfare office forced me to start working. I was sent to a "job search" program, if I didn't go they will stop giving my mother money. They wanted my income to count in my mother's household income so they could decrease the money they were giving us. How can my income support my brother, mom and I in a 1,000 (cheapest rent/month in new york)apartment??

Anyway, they put in a room with adults who had a hard time finding jobs because they had committed felonies. I was the youngest person there, everyone one else was in their 30's . It was extremely depressing and humiliating and the program wasn't useful since they didn't allow me to go outside, just to stay inside and have people make me feel miserable about the fact that my family was on welfare. It was a hard time for my family.

Eventually, I left high school for good, so that I can find a full-time job and support myself. I also had to move out of my house into a bedroom at a friends, which is all I could afford in new york on my full-time job.

I could go into a long rnt, but I'm not going to cause it will only piss people off.

why just pick on the welfare moms btw i dont think octomom was ever on welfare. I hate seeing women have babies for dumb reasons period. dont get me started on young girls tht want to have a baby so they can have somnething to love.

ppl should be responsible period why these women keep haveing babies is beyond me some might have a unnatural attractioin with being pregnant some just want love some want to screw the system. some dont know any better but

if you want to know why just stope them in the mall and ask or better yet work at the nail salon and chat them all up u might even get some just make sure and put on a rubber we dont want another one of you

You're stereotyping single parent moms on the basis of a few. Are the "leaches" that did subprime better than these few pitiful women?

who knows why. It is like saying all men are stupid. Not every woman on welfare does this but society has developed an it is ok attitude and there is no real way of monitoring it. unforunately common sense and maturity are not automatic qualities as a woman get older

Seeing it is one thing, but realize YOU will be paying for it with YOUR MONEY for the next 40 years or so, depending on your age!

Unfortunately, the only alternatives are to either let truly needy people starve or live in a police state. You choose.

PLease NOTE: my "u" button doesn't work all of the time so please excuse the mis-spellings.

Alright where shall I begin.

Well for starters, I'm a single mother of a beautiful five yr. old, daughter named Imani. Yes I was defined as the term "young & dumb" and I "slipped up" I guess you can say.
=)
When I was pregnant with her, I was on welfare up until she was two and believe me, even though it was tempting to stay in the "system" until she was seven, I choose not to because of what you're stating now. The only reason I went into the 'system' was because my parents wanted to show me the difference between making my money & depending on the welfare checks and also they weren't supporting me. (harsh bt true.)

I'm very educated, with a proper place to live, a mustang, and a very very nice savings amount so my daughter can get whatever her little heart desires (she's FAR from spoiled lol!) So obliviously, I haven't RUINEd my life as one person so rudely commented in an earlier post.

I understand that you think that all of welfare moms are like this, but you have to understand that majority of welfare moms have no choice. What about the moms who have disabled sons or daughters who can't afford the medical bills even if they have a well paying job? What about the moms who are on welfare because they are sick but have no choice but to take care of her family. That's where welfare jumps in and helps.

I agree 100%% that the welfare system needs to tighten up their restrictions just a little. But trust and believe, the people that suddenly get on the right track and get off welfare, will DEFINITELY be paying that money back. How so? because the government taxes the shit out of them that's how.

I think you are racist

people should be limited to having three children max. then they would have to be more careful about who they go with, and they won't be out breeding us. after than, a tying of tubes. reversable, if need be, and also less expensive then pills that have no guarantee that they won't be sold or tossed. less babies, less welfare. They system needs to be revamped too.

you its funny that you say this...now feel free to replay but please only serious ones...i dont need ur bullshit...

well anyway my mom has been on welfare ever since me, im the oldest...im currently doing my own thing now 19 n e who...shes had kids from three different dads three from my dad one from my step dad who shes still married to but separated from...and one from her new guy... any who i myself ask myself wtf is wrong w her doesnt she know that she doesnt have any fuckin money oh n by the way they stopped giving her welfare after the 3rd kid... and she was actually w my step dad for yrs but it just didnt work out...

so i dont know u know...i think ppl just make mistakes and some a little more than others...i just wanna get a really good job soon and take her off welfare so that i dont have to hear everyone bitching about how its their money... and for those that said let em starve...u have no heart...
