[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like they have multiple generations of family members living in that little house.  Between all of them they bring in $2005 in disability and only have $167 left after bills paid.  If bills are paid.

$600 for overdue electric, $300 for cell phones, $315 for store bought furniture charge. Plus all the pets.

It sounds like a lack of education combined with some real health issues, a limited ability to work (injury on the grandmother's part, IQ/possible trainability issues on the mother's part, having young kids to care for...

These folks have real obstacles, I guess the frustrating thing is how they seem to be compounding their own problems and then kicking the can down the road for their kids...it would be difficult for a kid to grow up like that and expect or want anything different in life.  [b]Not sure what the solution is.

You have to make it so that it is "worth it" to NOT have kids.  Any time kids bring in "extra" money, this is what you end up with with some families, especially the families that have been on disability (or welfare) for several generations.[/quote]

That's a nice idea -- but I honestly don't think the mom of four in this article gave it that much thought when she got pregnant.[/quote]
