They should make these baby mommas take a child rearing course and receive a license or permit BEFORE they receive the monthly government baby check. If they can’t earn a license, they can’t get a baby check from Obama.

I’m sure there are some who would find a way to defraud the system though.

And some, like the momma who gave her baby away in Florida, are just too stupid to reproduce, yet it seems as if that is the one thing they can do well…

...not thinking that 10 minutes of unprotected sex will end up being 70 years worth of taxpayer expense.

Again no thought of consequences, this woman could have lost her kids. Why would anyone take this kind of chance?

No,I think wrong decisions and just plain ole stupid decisions are two different things.

Way to go RM! I used to hate my mom when I was a teen. I wanted a mom that was “cool”.

Now that I see the baby factories and drug addicts those friends with “cool” parents have turned out to be, I’m glad I had a mom that loved me, allowed me be an individual, but still put her foot down.

Mistakes are teachers. They will continue to repeat until the lesson is learned. I am sure she learned a lesson. Next time…..lock the door or take them in with you.

And I agree southernbelle,if you haven’t questioned your own parenting,then you probably aren’t doing a good job. But you are doing one fine, bang-up job when your kids accuse you of being “mean,” or “unfair,” and threaten to call DHR! (Mine have, I handed them the phone and offered to dial the number-‘nuff said-lol)

Look, everyone makes mistakes. If you have never questioned your decisions as a parent, then you probably aren’t doing that good of a job. According to the person working in the store, she was in there less than two minutes. Sure, she probably should have locked the doors, but that’s part of being a parent. LEARNING. The real one to blame here is the man who stole the car.
