This is why I only
Has one kid I cannot afford another and I will not have another kid while being on foodstamps we have to do better. Where is the husband ? 4 kids at 31 is a lot! Don’t have anymore until you are married and have money -
Dont have kids next time?

Also if all these grocery stores would donate the food that they're going to throw away it would help a lot people don't realize just in the us alone all the grocery stores all together throw away 44 million pounds of food a year

Try feeding a family out of your own pocket now that would be impressive

We make our bed and we lie in it. We all have opportunity to make choices in our life.

Why does she have four kids when she doesn't have any money? And where are the fathers?
-
She looks far from going hungry with them big ass arms and stomach

I have an idea if you can't afford kids don't have them if you can't afford the car don't buy it.

Im sorry thats a lot of money..shes not looking like shes going without. I was in that same situation without a roof over my head. I portioned my meals and i lost weight so the kids could eat more so i don't what she is talking about. Riding a bus is no problem and she has a 12 year old that can babysit too.im sorry but cant feel bad for someone that doesn't work hard enough and admits it.

Almost 800 a month and they cant manage wow how dumb .. we grew up very poor and could feed a family of 5 at times on 40 bucks a week peeps.Its a supplement you are expected to earn some for yourself too.

Again, we have situations like this and still have thousands waiting at the border to be taken care of. When does it end? How much of private citizens' personal income should be taken from them thru taxes to feed other people? When does the "generosity" end? When we are also struggling to feed ourselves?

These are the beginning stages of an idiocracy

healthy food isn't expensive you fat pigs. that's a lie and a excuse.

Why do you have to manny kids if u cannot afford it? They need to do away with junk food paying with foodstamps
-
I do not feel sorry. My wife and I dated for 7 years before marriage. We worked hard and made lots of money. We then got married and bought a house. Then we had kids. We traveled and enjoyed things before kids. Now my kids are 6. We spend all of our time with them. They will never have to worry about missing meals or a Mom or Dad. I been together 19 years. What trash this lady is.

If Americans (and citizens Globally) put in as much effort into why they are putting themselves into this situation by having children they cannot afford to feed, this situation wouldn't be nearly as critical as it is. Where is the Father for Mercedes children? If you want to have loads of children, that is fine but don't expect the Government to pay for it!!!

blame the woman guys thats it. what about the goddamned fathers huh? they are responsible too ffs
-
shes a pretty woman

4:23 God bless that woman

I feel bad for them but she could get on child action, the government will pay a day care or family member/ friend to watch her kids then she can get a job work, save up, get a car,( they also give free monthly bus passes at the well fare office) but she's comfortable honestly there's a lot more she could be doing. I'm not being rude but I've seen people do it really depends how motivated you are. Also I'm posting this information because maybe somebody out there can use this & get extra help if they don't know what child action is, or that the human assistance where u get good stamps gives monthly bus passes
