What do you think about Octomom being on welfare with her 14 children?
It's disgusting. I think there are entirely too many people that need to be kicked off welfare as it is, I don't think adding an irresponsible "mother" to the line is right
I feel bad that she has so many children as a single woman. I don't like the fact that she is on welfare. Taking care of her family is costing a lot of money. Do you think anyone would hire her due to her, somewhat celebrity status? Probably not.
She is the poster mother for irresponsibility and what is wrong with our social support systems. And, the doctor that helped her have 8 children is worse. He thought this was a good idea, he can support them.

Ok, I am trying to get some understanding here. Why would a man that is 49 years old impregnate a woman that he barely knows? He has no job, no money, owes 6 months back child support to his ex-wife for their 13 year old daughter and is at risk of going to jail. Why would a woman that...

As my wife and I struggle to put enough money away to buy a home and plan for having a child, I'm left wondering why others don't have to be responsible for their own lives. I was at Sam's Club the other day, and was in line behind two full shopping carts full of racks of ribs, tenderloins, pork...
