on Homeless in the Suburbs
I must have somehow heard wrong. I love kids and I'm sure this woman's kids are loved and I'm not somebody who thinks all homeless people are to blame for their situation. My Cobra insurance just ran out after a year due to me getting laid off. I spent 6 months living in the back of my car after a medical incident previous to that but all too often I hear people on the radio saying their unemployment is about to run out and there is another child on the way.These are choices but I do appreciate you maybe shinning a light on this particular situation. That said, don't you think that maybe these people would have an easier time finding jobs, food, and shelter if they didn't have six kids whatever that ratio? Maybe they each have three but three kids is an awful lot of kids. They sat each kid costs about $250,000.00 before they set out on their own. That's the price of a nice house. It's like taking on six house payments. I may very well be homeless right now if I decided to have kids.

Will somebody please ask this woman what everybody's thinking. Why do you have six children? I would love to have children one day but cannot afford them as I am sometimes live paycheck to paycheck. Children are very expensive and this ought to be part of the conversation.
