Wow. Ignorance is bliss. It seems you have it all figured out. Its nice to be on the judgement seat when you have no idea how this woman or anyone finds themselves under the roof of a homeless shelter. Your assumptions are profound indeed.

@onthelake – You will keep a cat alive to the tune of @1000.00 and wonder why a mother would cling to her child? It also isn’t at all clear whether any of these women actually ever had husbands or even stable relationships. I suspect most didn’t.

And I more or less agree with eduardo1418 – the government has been using wars for generations to flush surplus males – I’m almost convinced.

onthelake — simple answers to complex situations are usually the product of simple minds.

My critters stay with me ubtil they die of extreme old age. Want the $1000 vet bill run up in 36 hours trying to save a cat born with renal disease,

I COULD spend that money on my kitty – this woman breeds with no idea of how to provide for them,

And yeah assuming the father at least has a roof over his head is reasonable – the vast majority do.

Point is that this ‘oh I’m a single mother so feel sorry for me…’ garbage is getting very old. They did NOT spawn all by themselves.

If they can not care for them, then the owe the kids a duty to give them to the other parent who can or the grandparents or aunts/uncles and if that all fails then to someone who can take care of them.

They CAN NOT provide for their kids – and ‘oh I’m a single mother and jsut spread my legs and bred without thinking and nor I hate the father….’ is a load of bullhockey.

Absent the father being dead, in jail, or a total nut case who beats the kids, then they would be better off with their PARENT – their father – than the woman who can not care for them.

onthelake sounds very like the kind of consumer of things universal, who will have a pet for a limited time period and when it is too old or inconvenient, will ‘rationally” have it put to “”sleep”. Of course you would never sit up with it and watch it die. You leave that messy process to professionals.

You also assume the father is in better financial condition himself.

(1) IF the mothers can’t even pay for housing, give the children to their fathers.

Stupid irresponsible woman to take off with the 3 kids and nowhere to go. They are NOT her property. They should have remained with their father

(2) If neither parent can afford to support the kids, give them to relatives.

(3) If there is no family to tkae them, put them up for adoption.

Living in shelters and poverty with their uneducated inept mothers is worse for them.

Would be nice if our politicians and business leaders focused on some real social issues — like building a robust middle-class rather than creating a country of extreme poverty.

Aaah but it’s tough to focus on real issues from the high altitudes of Davos.

We need to have hundreds more centers just like this one! Anything that can help break the cycle of poverty elevates all of us.
