@@lauraanne5175not to defend these awful people- but Bobs Red Mill is a local company here in Portland and donates a ton of product to local food banks.

But it isn’t. It’s a natural human drive. We’ve made a society where only the wealthy are “allowed” to have children. Doesn’t that sound a little eugenics-y? Like, don’t breed if you aren’t smart enough to make money in this system we’ve designed to benefit those already with money. Idk.
The Bible also says that a man who does not provide, especially for those in his household, is worse than an infidel. “Be fruitful & multiply” people always conveniently forget that 😂
Plus, I'm pretty sure that verse applies to spreading the gospel, not having kids. Like, the "multiply" part means bringing people to the church. And they seem to forget that "be fruitful" means they need to be making money and be financially secure
Also they add essential oil to the cat litter box which is toxic to cats. That's probably why the cats aint pooing in the box. Making them feel sick or they smelling the essential oil

I’ve been following all this content lately and this is the most well put comment I’ve seen. 1000% correct. Soooo sad. It’s like when people give the dog away because it’s not a puppy anymore.
Fr, plus I lowkey think this is caused by a whole kink...because having so many kids in a one room apartment..?? And having a poor plan in using your kids for content..??
The unicorn shoes were a gift, too. NOT from her Dad! She put them in a "Thank You" video for people who bought things off their wishlist... HE DIDN'T EVEN BUY THEM! 😂
That’s embarrassing: “my man’s working overtime and so very hard to provide much needed new shoes” and the shoes are like $15 and they were also bought by a stranger on the internet 🥴
We have it here in Romania as well. Some Romanian sayings include: 'Where there are many, strength grows, but so does folly,' and 'A woman with many children is rich in heart, but poor in pocket.'"
As a social work student, it amazes me how people will literally record their crimes. That environment is disturbingly neglectful and they post it for views and money. Wow.
Why aren’t there any agencies intervening? I don’t mean to be rude or accusatory. It’s a genuine inquiry. Is there no jurisdiction over what’s easily accessible online?
Because they can frickin record the crimes and NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN. Even when it's crime against children! All out there for everyone to see. And yet, NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN. 🙄
It's deeply weird... then I think about how the two daughters from her previous relationship must feel when they hear their mom talk about the younger children's superior genes....
I’m white and Brazilian but people usually think I’m just white. When I was 22, I was at a car wash waiting for my car in Los Angeles. A black guy who was like 10+ years older than me was like “We need to have a baby. It’s your social duty as a white girl.” Like WHAT?!? 🤯
My parents had 7 kids and squeezed us all into a 5 person trailer (9 people and multiple dogs). It falls apart fast and mold is a trailers best friend. God didn’t command this, this is not fruitful. Being raised literally on top of your siblings is hell. I hope CPS gets involved
I’m one of 8 kids and even though we didn’t have a lot of money, my parents MADE SURE that we had food in our belly, clothes, and a bed for each child. They wanted to be fruitful and they were…RESPONSIBLY! I think a lot of people don’t understand the sacrifice it takes, and the appreciation I have for my parents is HUGE.
I have mixed feelings about the kids because my dad is 1 of 13, they were poor, shared beds, had to get food loaned from the grocery store and help from the Salvation Army. Every one of them are stable, successful, happy adults because their parents loved them and raised them right. They wouldn’t change it for the world because we have a huge, fun family now. I do think kids at least need a bed to sleep on though, even if they share beds.
Having cats shouldn't make your space stink. I've got two cats in a studio apt that are doing great. Cats that aren't using the litter box do it for a reason. It's generally: 1. Not being scooped enough. 2. You don't have enough litter boxes for four cats, and they're fighting. 3. It's a health problem that needs to be addressed. If you can't afford to have pets, you shouldn't. She can't even afford the kids she already has. This isn't fair to *anyone* in her home.
I had two cats in a studio and it never smelled (I was very paranoid about it and always asked ppl when they visited, to make extra sure) then again I scooped after them all the time, it literally takes 10 seconds.
I feel like people who say this must only hang around other cat owners. No matter how clean a house is or how trained a cat is, I immediately smell they have a cat when entering their home. Not against cats, btw. Raised one from a kitten when its sibling all died. Would do again. My son wants a cat now so I'm looking into getting another. But I am not delusional. It's gonna smell.
😢 but if your circumstances change and you can no longer provide no one wants a used pet. like if you get cancer or car accident and lose the good job, and can't afford pet care, no one will take the pet. shelters are full, rescues are full, online rehoming is dangerous.
Call him a narcissist (which, he might be, but a certain type of woman uses that word to make herself come off as blameless) and rebrand as a victim warrior who does healing Christian Reiki online.
She's actually better off without him there. If he doesn't live there, she's allowed to get WIC support, and get a LOT of potential money from the fed, especially with that many children.
Growing up in poverty is very traumatic; it’s not something to celebrate or be happy about when people who are already in poverty knowingly keep having more children when they can’t even afford the children they already have.
I agree. I was so ashamed when i was at middle school. Cuz my parents got into debts. The first time it wasn't their fault, somone stole their IDs, but they then tried to fix it with more borrowing money from the bad people, so we almost ended homeless. We eat the same lunch for week sometimes more. And many more shitty things. And we were just me, my brother, my grandma and parents. I can't imagine this with 5 more siblings
I agree- I’m very curious about how the mom herself grew up to have this view of living this way is ‘roughing it’ and how that’s fine and don’t judge -because being poor blows. When you’ve actually been poor, you want to NOT be poor and if you have any soul you REALLY don’t want your children to grow up poor like you did. Because it’s awful and damaging. I hate these be fruitful and eff people because they don’t care about the humans that their children are- making them into good people- just the number of them. I hated them before becoming a mother and now I actively loathe them even more because I have a sense of what kind of awful thing they’re choosing to do to children. Ahhhhh it is the worst.
I grew up without running water or electricity. We did our homework by oil lamp. We had to grow or k our own food. But my father always had cigarettes and my parents always had a bed. Everyday I struggle with the trauma. We lived in a home that wasn’t fit for residency, but the landlord let us stay for next to nothing as long as we didn’t complain about doing our laundry while standing in 3 inches of sewage, the mold, or the roof caving in. We were mostly impoverished due to med bills bc of my father’s Crohn’s disease, but my parents didn’t suffer as much as the kids.
I’m so sick of people treating their kids like an afterthought. If you have a child you should put them first! I ran an in home daycare. The amount of parents complaining about my prices (which were very reasonable) while simultaneously “treating themselves” to concerts, trips and expensive meals out, was shocking. Why even have them? I think they see it as a status symbol. Which is disturbing.
I have an acquaintance who pays for her son’s family's food and sometimes their rent (the essentials), while they use their own money for things like a big party at a restaurant for their daughter's christening and other luxuries. She then complained to me, 'How can they do that? They can't afford it.' I told her, 'They can afford it because you're paying for their essentials. And they are asking you for money for essentials because they know you'll refuse to help them with luxuries.' The main point here is that people like this often save money on the basics, especially when it comes to children, because these are the things most likely to prompt others to offer 'help.'
I've heard so many people who've had children because that was the next step they were supposed to take in life, without considering if they even actually wanted to have kids.
Damn, I have no children and I can barely treat myself without getting depressed afterwards because I always think I won't recover from that treat financially. 🫠
I grew up in squalor. No indoor plumbing and a cord leading from a church that ran one bulb and a tv (that barely worked). There were 7 kids and never enough food to eat. Yet, my “parents” had 7 kids. They were both literate and should have known better. I had to go through high school hungry with no lunch money. I had to beg relatives for money to go to college. These same relatives turned around and user me as a gofer, all because they helped me at one point. I never had anything of my own growing up. I barely ever had new clothes. At one point all of us were sleeping on the same bed. There was no privacy especially for a girl who just hit puberty. Situations like this is a breeding ground for incest and sexual abuse. I could go on and on. I say all this to say that it’s dangerous and insulting to romanticize poverty. No child should be exploited in order to satisfy adults’ fantasies of living differently. It’s even more sickening that they’re monetizing this lifestyle. I wish those people could go and live the life of real poor person and see how they like it.
It’s not against the law, the children have to be being abused, or neglected. I don’t think they mess with stuff like this. Hell, they barely handle the really bad stuff.
I don’t understand either! Here, if parents have split custody they inspect homes to make sure each child has their own space. I.e. A boy and a girl can’t have the same room. They have to have clothes, a stocked fridge and basic necessities available. If you can’t have those, the child doesn’t go to the parent unable to provide these “basic need” things 😭 😩 Damn
@@ydoicare2000 in a lot of places children over a certain age (like 5?) Count as an occupant and having so many people in such a small apartment is illegal. Also having children that aren't even related living in such close quarters (and most likely the older raising the younger) can open an investigation for neglect.
Pregnant women aren't even supposed to change a cat box because of Toxoplasmosis risk to the fetus, they certainly aren't supposed to be living in the same room with the box!!
You can be in the same room, you need to wear and mask when scooping and wash your hand thoroughly after. Undercooked neat is more of a threat for toxic than a indoors only cat.
@tammystiletto I'm so fcking sorry babydoll, you deserved so much more than they failed at giving you. You deserved to feel safe, loved, protected, and provided for. They fcking failed at making sure you got to be a child worrying about childish things; not a child who had to raise herself (and probably others) and be concerned with adult situations way beyond your scope. So many internet momma hugs!!!!!! 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 Ughhhhhh, breaks my fcking heart how many people had to grow up, while treading water to keep their head above the rising tide.

I have a serious mental health disorder so chose not to have children because I’d make a terrible mother with my moods…So it absolutely effing frustrates me when I see this level of parenting…that said, I recognize I’m projecting…and perhaps unnecessarily judgmental because ultimately most children, growing up with questionable parenting, turn out okay in spite of their parents rather than because of them. Thank goodness 🙏🏽
Naw. I tell them. And more people should. I've told a couple to their face "Get an abortion" and I don't regret it for one second. They shouldn't have had kids. Six years later and I was right. People need to stop being polite for politeness' sake.
I'm a child of 7, grew up in a low income family, my mum would wear the same 3 tank tops,barely eat and me and my siblings taken great care of. But this woman is neglecting her children, the smell of cat piss,the mess,no BEDS!? its neglect.
A real mother puts her kids first before herself. She’ll starve and wear clothing that’s tearing if it means those kids are happy and healthy. I don’t know how this lady can live with herself knowing damn well her kids are not in a good environment. It’s utterly disgusting.
I worked in retail, and it was really physic, not just standing all the day, but there's also a lot of manutention (the deliveries, running with a lot of clothes who aren't always light, etc...). Not to defend him, because he's a lazy deadbeat dad, but retail isn't only folding clothes and talking to clients... my abs were perfect when I was working in retails, and I wasn't doing any sport aside (now, I'm back in a gym club, because I want them back lol)
"I have absolutely no idea why my now grown children have gone 100% no contact with me, just because I had a camera jammed in their faces for all their most awkward, embarrassing, private moments and milestones in life, and shared them with millions of yokel strangers on the internet to gawk at. I need attention, validation, and easy money for myself, after all. I mean, what twelve year old little boy or girl DOESN'T want their first date rejection or body dysmorphia insecurities broadcast to pervs all over the world? Some kids are just ungrateful, evidently."
4 cats and one liter box. I have 1 cat and that liter box man ….. 5 hours after a fresh change it reeks ….. I can’t even imagine the stench in that small home.
Oh and shes added to it the last few days. 20.00 salt & pepper shakers (I have a salt cracker that costsa few dollars), a 40.00 spice rack and a around the neck phone holder. Are you kidding me?
@AndromedasLight17 WTF? 🙄 That kinda crap is just unnecessary and does literally nothing to help improve the quality of life for the children! Which is supposed to be their main concern!
My husband cheated and left me for a deadbeat mom - the father of her child got primary custody and she IMMEDIATELY quit her full time job to become a “holistic” healer so she wouldn’t have to pay child support. A home wrecker AND deadbeat mom? He truly got the queen he deserves ❤ I have NO idea how anyone can be attracted to a deadbeat parent.
I was in the talking stage with a man and we were planning a date, I found out his license was suspended due to not paying child support. I'm a single mother who also does not get child support...that was the last he heard from me
I get the whole "If you wait to have kids till you can afford to have kids THEN you will never have kids" but the cat part is what sent me over the edge. The smell has to be horrendous
5:42 as a mother of an always hungry 8 year old boy, I can confirm that love does not feed him. No matter how many times I hug and praise his work, he still keeps asking for “real food” to feed his “stomach” because he’s “a growing boy” 🙄 This family makes me feel all types of feelings because my family did grow up poor so seeing them spend their money is flabbergasting😤🤬
I remember when you were "My thoughts will probalbly offend you", and since then, you've stepped up your narration skills so unbelievably much! Have some interaction for the algorythm!
I have owned cats all my life, never had problems with litter boxes or peeing around the house except if the cat is an untrained kitten (in which case, you prepare, clean and teach them), or they have a health problem. Those poor cats may be unwell, or very stressed.
Very true. We have three live-in cats and are feeding a stray, and none of them pee in the house. They have a catflap, and are extremely well trained to go outside (we get them a litter box in the conservatory in bad weather). The only time a cat of ours peed in the house was when one had a bladder infection.
It annoys me when people use religion to keep having kids when they are unable to provide for their kids. I am religious, come from a big family, and have kids myself. It might be frustrating, but don’t have more kids if you can’t provide the basics (beds, food, and a proper environment for them to grow up in). Have kids, or don’t have kids. Whatever you choose is great. But kids deserve to be more than content for ticktock.
Exactly! I’m Christian and think kids are great! But you shouldn’t have them if you don’t have the means to provide them with a good life. Also not everybody’s called to have kids - and that’s ok!!
Ohh she's not religious. She's using God as a way to grift on Tiktok. She thinks by bringing up God, it makes her a "good" person. I also dislike when people say "God will provide". Nope, no he won't. You are responsible for yourself & your family. Raising kids like this is preventing them from using critical thinking skills & problem solving skills. They will expect others (like their partners) to provide for them.
If the cats are pissing or shitting anywhere other than the litterbox, then you eaither don't have enough litter boxes AND OR you're not cleaning them . Cats HATE pissing and shitting where they eat and lie. They want it buried as a natural defense instinct. But cats also naturally try to be clean, and just like you wouldn't wanna piss in an overflowing portapotty, they won't stand in shit , to shit.
FINALLY someone talked about this problem!! It's not just the Jenkins family, too, so many people continue to have babies despite barely able to support THEMSELVES...
One of my coworkers got pregnant by a man, just like him. Baby momma #1 doesn't let him see the first kid because he can't hold a job/won't get a job and this girl was like, yes, he's the one. I've been pissed at her ever since.

My husband grew up dirt poor, it’s been incredibly important to us to not have kids if we can’t afford them. Just now after 5 years are we finally stable enough with a roof and savings to start trying. One or two kids and you’re trying to make it work? Thats one thing. But 7??? And you know you can’t feed the ones you have but you’re actively trying for more???? Wtf.
Kids get even more expensive. I had my tubes tied after my second one, and still can't afford them. They told me it'd be $400 WITH my insurance to have my daughter's wisdom teeth removed. That's just one example.
I have a dad like this. I was the abandoned child. He went off and started a lil commune with his wife and multiple children. If I found out this man was exploiting them like this, I would be so pissed. I am living vicariously through Arlita’s anger…
I love that the internet is holding these people accountable. There IS a difference in judgement and accountability and these people are getting a dose of accountability.
Opening presents in front of people and having them wait for you to display an “excited reaction” is super embarrassing as a kid, even if you’re not on camera. When I was a kid everyone understood that I was shy and not “rude” but I still felt the pressure. I don’t naturally make big facial expressions or excited noises or anything like that, and faking it would be lying (and I couldn’t fake it convincingly anyway!) You just gotta trust that people are grateful for gifts even if they don’t go “OMG THANK YOUUUUU” while a bunch of people are looking at them 😂
Growing up in a two bedroom home with two brothers, my parents got a fold out couch for the livingroom that they used as a bed for almost 20 years so I could have privacy and my brothers shared until our older brother moved out aged 19, and we were 11. My twin and I shared a bedroom until we were about 10, when I got my own room and my brothers shared until my older brother moved out. For the record, both my brothers have multiple disabilities so age-wise, tho our older brother is 8 years older than us, he's mentally the same age as my twin. They have a certain majority but they are really innocent and younger mentally. My parents sacrified their comfort so we could have privacy growing up. It was so satisfying to help them get a proper bedroom with a bed once I had moved out! No one deserved a proper bed more than my parents!
I once commented on an Instagram post saying having kids when we can't afford them is abuse and people went crazy on me, called me lots of things...fun times lol
My biggest pet peeve is seeing women who have no business having children continue without realizing all the risks that go into having that many kids born into a sh*tty environment. They have no idea how much pain some or all of those children will actually live through despite never having asked to be there in the first place. They may experience everything from neglect, abandonment, wondering why they were born, feeling as though they dont matter and wondering if theyre loved when theyre watching the parents forego necessary care and items to make their lives better. Needless to say, this family made me so sad.
And shes not thinking about her own health what happens when she has that baby and literally has an open wound in a home full of lice fleas and moldy clothes and she is allegedly smoking weed while shes pregnant thats why they have that room because she wanna hotbox with that man just f the children’s safety and health its so disgusting
this story pisses me off to no end. I have a relative like this, the father is also a deadbeat. They would ask everyone money monthly and even send pics of their babies to guilt trip you to give, while lying that you're the only person they've asked and noone had given them money. It's so annoying. Being in asian culture, I'm always told 'But having kids will give you motivation to do better!' and most wnat a big family. If you don't have money for a family, and don't have a job to provide, don't have a kids!
Yeah. I'm lds and even our bishops sometimes advise against keeping children you can't care for. It's seen as individual situations. Not black n white. And if you CANNOT take care of children the real church, not the fundamentalists liars on tlc, will not suggest you wallow in poverty or abuse children you don't want or can't care for.
It's a blended family, implying she is either divorced or was having children out of wedlock before she met her current husband. If you can break those biblical laws, I'm sure God will turn a blind eye to condoms.
Retail actually involves a lot of physical strain activity, I’ve gotten on my hands and knees for those jobs and actually had broken my body down over the last five years 😅 but no excuse when kids involved
I had one child for 16yrs then when I was better off I had twins, (having the twins was very unexpected cause twins don’t run in mine or my husband’s family) then got my tubes tied. That was 14yrs ago & I also feel like I will never recover…from the first one much less the twins 😂😂
I would've had 5 or 6 if my body could've handled it. Stopped at 3. Some people are okay with multiple kids. Some people long for that. That's okay. No need to judge people for having multiple UNLESS they're this woman who can't even provide for them. Then judge away because that's disgusting.
I just had this realization you’re a comedian, creative nerd❤, a business owner, extremely buff, you seem to have a normal grip on most topics… omg leave some success for the rest of us 😂 ❤
I was waiting on this commentary from you. I got my tubes removed after my 4th because they refuse to do it after my 3rd. I love all my kids, but it had to stop. And I’m saying this fully married and with one husband. No baby daddies…
My husband got a vasectomy bc I told him 4 was enough and all boys at that lol I have accepted the fact I am outnumbered and just hope I get some granddaughters 🥰
There are over 8 billion of us. We understood the assignment. We were fruitful and we multiplied. Mission accomplished. We did the thing. We covered the earth. We can ease off now. Don't want kids? There is NO NEED to have them. I mean, if you want them, have one or two. But having more than you can care for, and then blaming some sort of religious requirement, is disgusting to me.
Actually we are about to go into a population crash in several countries. South korea is about to be wiped off the map and japan is close behind. Europes fertility rate is abysmal. Certain countries need to be having more kids, others need to be having less.
@@Mink_Tracks which is more of societal, monetary problem than a population problem because of the 8 BILLION. We are making other animals extinct, threatening our food supplies with global warming, and many people are already starving and in poverty because of how many people we have. We will be fine if we depopulate a bit (and in some ways the rest of the earth would be better off without us entirely or less of us).
@@whatthefkiswrongwithyoutubemore than one between hikikomori, misogyny, not making enough money to have kids, not being rewarded by hard work and toxic work culture. Difference between Japan and us is either that makes you have 0-2 kids or 8+ , really bad sex ed, and we allow more immigration. I thought it was sad to see Elon Musk do this even though he can financially provide and pretend not emotionally to care while making decisions not in their interest. At least he doesn't pretend daddy loves them. It's hard to call but statisticslly foster care would be better than sleeping on the floor.
Because people who want to read the worst case in anything will find one. In this case, saying "if you can't afford kids you shouldn't have them" becomes "poor people shouldn't have kids" becomes "people of colour and disabled people are, to some degree, more likely to be poor, and therefore anyone who says poor people shouldn't have kids is essentially saying that disabled and people of colour shouldn't have children" which, at its core is kind of an eugenics idea, tho they usually hide it in "survival of the best genes" ideas that just so happen to exist in the white race, typically. Its kind of similar to A - "I'm so broke all the time" B - "well you do eat out a lot, maybe you should cut down on that" A - "so you want me to starve then?"

STAAAHP. 😫 But no for real, my husband and I are done with 2 in our 3 bedroom townhouse because we don't think it would be fair to make kids share a room if we can help it. Accidents can happen obviously, but if you're actively trying to have more without the proper resources you're irresponsible.
I grew up poor and used to have nightmares that I had kids I couldn't feed while I was working multiple jobs to get through college. This was literally my worst nightmare, but thankfully, I never had to deal with that. It's been 20 years now, and I have 2 grown kids able to feed themselves. I have no idea how anyone can think like this. Sometimes, you just have to live with where you are, and for that, I have tremendous sympathy, but this is a choice.
He says he doesn’t want a job that has a W2 form. That’s because he doesn’t want his wages garnished for child support. Also why hasn’t someone figured out how to call CPS?? Where do these people live?
I'm 32 & my husband & I are still waiting to have a kid because first we had no space in our apartment & then when we moved into our house he had emergency cancer surgery. We're still paying those bills off. We cannot afford a child right now & we're waiting till we're a little bit better.
My husband and I were absolutely fit financially when we decided to have our second child then, about the time I was 7 months along, my husband got laid off and we ended up having to move in with family for a while. What did we do? We fought like hell to get where we wanted to be. We ended up with roommates for a little bit, then finally got into our own place when our youngest was 8 months old. Bc of that experience while I was still pregnant we decided 2 was PLENTY and I got my tubes removed bc I didn’t want to risk it. Now we’re in a great spot financially, living in a 3 bedroom house with plenty of space for the 4 of us, and my husband and I work full time to make it happen. This all to say, I cannot even begin to imagine having MORE kids if I couldn’t take care of the ones I already have. I desperately wanted 3 kids but I had to put my own feeling aside and realize that with how the economy is and how a situation can change super suddenly, more kids is not a good idea.

In business school our professor yelled “having children is a FINANCIAL decision” banging on her desk to get it thru our heads. It worked on me.
Yes, my grandma would tell my dad and my dad would later tell me that “babies are cute but they’re expensive”.
Definitely worked on me
What a great professor 😅
Children are a responsibility. Both financial and personal.
If one is not willing to sacrifice, don’t have kids yet.
18:21 "that African gene" oh Michelle, I adore you! 😊
But it isn’t. It’s a natural human drive. We’ve made a society where only the wealthy are “allowed” to have children.
Doesn’t that sound a little eugenics-y? Like, don’t breed if you aren’t smart enough to make money in this system we’ve designed to benefit those already with money.
Idk.
The Bible also says that a man who does not provide, especially for those in his household, is worse than an infidel. “Be fruitful & multiply” people always conveniently forget that 😂
Yeah, it is always on the woman to be pregnant, not on the man to work
Most of the be fruitful ans multiply people actually do provide for our children and take our bible seriously, but ok.
@beebarfthebard so that's not about you, move along 🙄
Plus, I'm pretty sure that verse applies to spreading the gospel, not having kids. Like, the "multiply" part means bringing people to the church.
And they seem to forget that "be fruitful" means they need to be making money and be financially secure
"He who does not work, neither shall he eat." If bro is not working hard enough to feed his family, bro should not be eatin'. The end.

Seriously! I have made so many accommodations for my cats to keep them from going outside the box (cement mixer bin is now what we use lol)
Also they add essential oil to the cat litter box which is toxic to cats. That's probably why the cats aint pooing in the box. Making them feel sick or they smelling the essential oil

As a social work student, it amazes me how people will literally record their crimes. That environment is disturbingly neglectful and they post it for views and money. Wow.
Why aren’t there any agencies intervening?
I don’t mean to be rude or accusatory. It’s a genuine inquiry. Is there no jurisdiction over what’s easily accessible online?
Yet social workers seem to always be completely absent from those cases😅
Because they can frickin record the crimes and NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN. Even when it's crime against children! All out there for everyone to see. And yet, NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN. 🙄

My parents had 7 kids and squeezed us all into a 5 person trailer (9 people and multiple dogs). It falls apart fast and mold is a trailers best friend. God didn’t command this, this is not fruitful. Being raised literally on top of your siblings is hell. I hope CPS gets involved
I’m one of 8 kids and even though we didn’t have a lot of money, my parents MADE SURE that we had food in our belly, clothes, and a bed for each child. They wanted to be fruitful and they were…RESPONSIBLY! I think a lot of people don’t understand the sacrifice it takes, and the appreciation I have for my parents is HUGE.
I have mixed feelings about the kids because my dad is 1 of 13, they were poor, shared beds, had to get food loaned from the grocery store and help from the Salvation Army. Every one of them are stable, successful, happy adults because their parents loved them and raised them right. They wouldn’t change it for the world because we have a huge, fun family now. I do think kids at least need a bed to sleep on though, even if they share beds.

Having cats shouldn't make your space stink. I've got two cats in a studio apt that are doing great. Cats that aren't using the litter box do it for a reason. It's generally:
1. Not being scooped enough.
2. You don't have enough litter boxes for four cats, and they're fighting.
3. It's a health problem that needs to be addressed.
If you can't afford to have pets, you shouldn't. She can't even afford the kids she already has. This isn't fair to *anyone* in her home.
I had two cats in a studio and it never smelled (I was very paranoid about it and always asked ppl when they visited, to make extra sure) then again I scooped after them all the time, it literally takes 10 seconds.
@@the_endling I have a 20lb cow and it’s my mission to see him but not smell him lol. It’s really not hard at all to clean up after them.
Thank you
I feel like people who say this must only hang around other cat owners. No matter how clean a house is or how trained a cat is, I immediately smell they have a cat when entering their home. Not against cats, btw. Raised one from a kitten when its sibling all died. Would do again. My son wants a cat now so I'm looking into getting another. But I am not delusional. It's gonna smell.
That apartment isn't a home, it's a stinky unhealthy prison.
People who are ultra poor and have multiple pets and kids need to be studied. That sounds like literal hell to me.
“I don’t have dog or children if I can’t provide them with a good quality of life” love you so much for that ❤
😢 but if your circumstances change and you can no longer provide no one wants a used pet. like if you get cancer or car accident and lose the good job, and can't afford pet care, no one will take the pet. shelters are full, rescues are full, online rehoming is dangerous.
I’m sure this person wouldn’t keep getting more pets or kids if their circumstances changed tho
Imagine having that many kids with a guy who you know doesnt pay child support. If he decides to leave, wtf is she planning to do?

She's actually better off without him there. If he doesn't live there, she's allowed to get WIC support, and get a LOT of potential money from the fed, especially with that many children.
Growing up in poverty is very traumatic; it’s not something to celebrate or be happy about when people who are already in poverty knowingly keep having more children when they can’t even afford the children they already have.
I agree. I was so ashamed when i was at middle school. Cuz my parents got into debts. The first time it wasn't their fault, somone stole their IDs, but they then tried to fix it with more borrowing money from the bad people, so we almost ended homeless. We eat the same lunch for week sometimes more. And many more shitty things. And we were just me, my brother, my grandma and parents. I can't imagine this with 5 more siblings
I agree- I’m very curious about how the mom herself grew up to have this view of living this way is ‘roughing it’ and how that’s fine and don’t judge -because being poor blows. When you’ve actually been poor, you want to NOT be poor and if you have any soul you REALLY don’t want your children to grow up poor like you did. Because it’s awful and damaging.
I hate these be fruitful and eff people because they don’t care about the humans that their children are- making them into good people- just the number of them. I hated them before becoming a mother and now I actively loathe them even more because I have a sense of what kind of awful thing they’re choosing to do to children. Ahhhhh it is the worst.
I grew up without running water or electricity. We did our homework by oil lamp. We had to grow or k our own food. But my father always had cigarettes and my parents always had a bed. Everyday I struggle with the trauma. We lived in a home that wasn’t fit for residency, but the landlord let us stay for next to nothing as long as we didn’t complain about doing our laundry while standing in 3 inches of sewage, the mold, or the roof caving in. We were mostly impoverished due to med bills bc of my father’s Crohn’s disease, but my parents didn’t suffer as much as the kids.
😂😂😂😂
Poor is trauma being raised by trashy people who xhoose themselves over their children is
I’m so sick of people treating their kids like an afterthought. If you have a child you should put them first! I ran an in home daycare. The amount of parents complaining about my prices (which were very reasonable) while simultaneously “treating themselves” to concerts, trips and expensive meals out, was shocking. Why even have them? I think they see it as a status symbol. Which is disturbing.
Well stated. We live in an upside-down world. 💔
Its why populations are declining in the usa
I have an acquaintance who pays for her son’s family's food and sometimes their rent (the essentials), while they use their own money for things like a big party at a restaurant for their daughter's christening and other luxuries. She then complained to me, 'How can they do that? They can't afford it.' I told her, 'They can afford it because you're paying for their essentials. And they are asking you for money for essentials because they know you'll refuse to help them with luxuries.'
The main point here is that people like this often save money on the basics, especially when it comes to children, because these are the things most likely to prompt others to offer 'help.'
I've heard so many people who've had children because that was the next step they were supposed to take in life, without considering if they even actually wanted to have kids.
Damn, I have no children and I can barely treat myself without getting depressed afterwards because I always think I won't recover from that treat financially. 🫠
0:40 Michelle that skit was gold! The perfect amount of disturbing 😅
That was fantastic! 😂😂😂
I grew up in squalor. No indoor plumbing and a cord leading from a church that ran one bulb and a tv (that barely worked). There were 7 kids and never enough food to eat. Yet, my “parents” had 7 kids. They were both literate and should have known better. I had to go through high school hungry with no lunch money. I had to beg relatives for money to go to college. These same relatives turned around and user me as a gofer, all because they helped me at one point. I never had anything of my own growing up. I barely ever had new clothes. At one point all of us were sleeping on the same bed. There was no privacy especially for a girl who just hit puberty. Situations like this is a breeding ground for incest and sexual abuse. I could go on and on. I say all this to say that it’s dangerous and insulting to romanticize poverty. No child should be exploited in order to satisfy adults’ fantasies of living differently. It’s even more sickening that they’re monetizing this lifestyle. I wish those people could go and live the life of real poor person and see how they like it.
You said it all and I'm so sorry you had to go through all that you did. I believe you are doing good now ❤
How has CPS not been called on these "parents"?
How can an apartment manager allow it too ?
It’s not against the law, the children have to be being abused, or neglected. I don’t think they mess with stuff like this. Hell, they barely handle the really bad stuff.
I don’t understand either! Here, if parents have split custody they inspect homes to make sure each child has their own space. I.e. A boy and a girl can’t have the same room. They have to have clothes, a stocked fridge and basic necessities available.
If you can’t have those, the child doesn’t go to the parent unable to provide these “basic need” things 😭 😩
Damn
@@ydoicare2000 in a lot of places children over a certain age (like 5?) Count as an occupant and having so many people in such a small apartment is illegal. Also having children that aren't even related living in such close quarters (and most likely the older raising the younger) can open an investigation for neglect.
Do either parents have an actual job?
Pregnant women aren't even supposed to change a cat box because of Toxoplasmosis risk to the fetus, they certainly aren't supposed to be living in the same room with the box!!

You can be in the same room, you need to wear and mask when scooping and wash your hand thoroughly after. Undercooked neat is more of a threat for toxic than a indoors only cat.

I have owned cats all my life, never had problems with litter boxes or peeing around the house except if the cat is an untrained kitten (in which case, you prepare, clean and teach them), or they have a health problem. Those poor cats may be unwell, or very stressed.
You probably change your litter boxes though. I'm thinking this family, not so much.
They're likely avoiding the litter box because it's disgusting. I could be wrong that's just what it sounds like in this case
Very true. We have three live-in cats and are feeding a stray, and none of them pee in the house. They have a catflap, and are extremely well trained to go outside (we get them a litter box in the conservatory in bad weather). The only time a cat of ours peed in the house was when one had a bladder infection.

It annoys me when people use religion to keep having kids when they are unable to provide for their kids. I am religious, come from a big family, and have kids myself. It might be frustrating, but don’t have more kids if you can’t provide the basics (beds, food, and a proper environment for them to grow up in). Have kids, or don’t have kids. Whatever you choose is great. But kids deserve to be more than content for ticktock.
Exactly! I’m Christian and think kids are great! But you shouldn’t have them if you don’t have the means to provide them with a good life. Also not everybody’s called to have kids - and that’s ok!!
1 Timothy 5:8 makes it clear that we’re to provide for family, comparing one who doesn’t to an unbeliever.
Ohh she's not religious. She's using God as a way to grift on Tiktok. She thinks by bringing up God, it makes her a "good" person. I also dislike when people say "God will provide". Nope, no he won't. You are responsible for yourself & your family. Raising kids like this is preventing them from using critical thinking skills & problem solving skills. They will expect others (like their partners) to provide for them.
People use religion like a scapegoat and an ATM without ever cracking the Bible open. They need to stop. Seriously .
@ God _has_ provided. He gave us brains to figure things out, and bodies to do the work that we need to do. He doesn’t actually owe us more than that.
If the cats are pissing or shitting anywhere other than the litterbox, then you eaither don't have enough litter boxes AND OR you're not cleaning them . Cats HATE pissing and shitting where they eat and lie. They want it buried as a natural defense instinct. But cats also naturally try to be clean, and just like you wouldn't wanna piss in an overflowing portapotty, they won't stand in shit , to shit.
So true! If they have 4 cats, they need at least 2 boxes, and they need to clean them daily.

Kids get even more expensive. I had my tubes tied after my second one, and still can't afford them. They told me it'd be $400 WITH my insurance to have my daughter's wisdom teeth removed. That's just one example.
your intros have been CRAZY lately i love it lmfaooo
I have a dad like this. I was the abandoned child. He went off and started a lil commune with his wife and multiple children. If I found out this man was exploiting them like this, I would be so pissed. I am living vicariously through Arlita’s anger…
I love that the internet is holding these people accountable. There IS a difference in judgement and accountability and these people are getting a dose of accountability.
Opening presents in front of people and having them wait for you to display an “excited reaction” is super embarrassing as a kid, even if you’re not on camera. When I was a kid everyone understood that I was shy and not “rude” but I still felt the pressure. I don’t naturally make big facial expressions or excited noises or anything like that, and faking it would be lying (and I couldn’t fake it convincingly anyway!) You just gotta trust that people are grateful for gifts even if they don’t go “OMG THANK YOUUUUU” while a bunch of people are looking at them 😂
my son is like this
Thank you for this post! I feel exactly the same and sooooo glad in my culture we don’t have to do that.
I’m an adult and I still feel this pressure.
Growing up in a two bedroom home with two brothers, my parents got a fold out couch for the livingroom that they used as a bed for almost 20 years so I could have privacy and my brothers shared until our older brother moved out aged 19, and we were 11. My twin and I shared a bedroom until we were about 10, when I got my own room and my brothers shared until my older brother moved out. For the record, both my brothers have multiple disabilities so age-wise, tho our older brother is 8 years older than us, he's mentally the same age as my twin. They have a certain majority but they are really innocent and younger mentally.
My parents sacrified their comfort so we could have privacy growing up. It was so satisfying to help them get a proper bedroom with a bed once I had moved out! No one deserved a proper bed more than my parents!
I once commented on an Instagram post saying having kids when we can't afford them is abuse and people went crazy on me, called me lots of things...fun times lol
My biggest pet peeve is seeing women who have no business having children continue without realizing all the risks that go into having that many kids born into a sh*tty environment.
They have no idea how much pain some or all of those children will actually live through despite never having asked to be there in the first place. They may experience everything from neglect, abandonment, wondering why they were born, feeling as though they dont matter and wondering if theyre loved when theyre watching the parents forego necessary care and items to make their lives better. Needless to say, this family made me so sad.
And the men getting them pregnant too.
@SquiddyBonneBouche exactly. What kind of sorry sack of shite sits by and let's this bullsh*t go on? It's ridiculous.
same. ITS ENRAGING
And shes not thinking about her own health what happens when she has that baby and literally has an open wound in a home full of lice fleas and moldy clothes and she is allegedly smoking weed while shes pregnant thats why they have that room because she wanna hotbox with that man just f the children’s safety and health its so disgusting
@angelavaughn6097 gross! A lot makes sense now lol.. ...they're so nasty.
this story pisses me off to no end. I have a relative like this, the father is also a deadbeat. They would ask everyone money monthly and even send pics of their babies to guilt trip you to give, while lying that you're the only person they've asked and noone had given them money. It's so annoying.
Being in asian culture, I'm always told 'But having kids will give you motivation to do better!' and most wnat a big family. If you don't have money for a family, and don't have a job to provide, don't have a kids!
This is random do you have a sister named Casey?
I don't have a sister, sorry 😔@@Joy_esprida
She’s out here giving Christian women a bad name.
As a Christian woman I believe in birth control and being responsible.
Lol she's just another Christofascist grifter
Yeah. I'm lds and even our bishops sometimes advise against keeping children you can't care for. It's seen as individual situations. Not black n white. And if you CANNOT take care of children the real church, not the fundamentalists liars on tlc, will not suggest you wallow in poverty or abuse children you don't want or can't care for.
It's a blended family, implying she is either divorced or was having children out of wedlock before she met her current husband. If you can break those biblical laws, I'm sure God will turn a blind eye to condoms.
Funny, because nowhere in the Bible is “birth control” mentioned.
@RoRo07770 neither are cars, or giraffes or ps5
Retail actually involves a lot of physical strain activity, I’ve gotten on my hands and knees for those jobs and actually had broken my body down over the last five years 😅 but no excuse when kids involved
My old boss at a grocery store deli had carpal tunnel in her wrists from cleaning all day. A lot of retail and service work is manual labor.
Great video, Michelle! I had no idea about this story.
Stawp, ma'am, friggin Stawp, it's a *uterus* not a friggin clown car.
This is like a hoarder situation.
Too many kids too many animals the next step is actual hoarding items next oooof
Hoarding kidsss😂 fr
I have 1 child...almost 19yrs old...never wanted another one...i dont understand how women can keep popping kids out...im still tired from labor
😂😂😂
Facts. I have 2 sons. 25 and 27. They are night and day. I'm tired from just mothering.
Oh man... My son will be 3 soon, you're telling me I'll never recover? Lolz
I had one child for 16yrs then when I was better off I had twins, (having the twins was very unexpected cause twins don’t run in mine or my husband’s family) then got my tubes tied. That was 14yrs ago & I also feel like I will never recover…from the first one much less the twins 😂😂
I would've had 5 or 6 if my body could've handled it. Stopped at 3. Some people are okay with multiple kids. Some people long for that. That's okay. No need to judge people for having multiple UNLESS they're this woman who can't even provide for them. Then judge away because that's disgusting.
It’s the “kids” running around 0:18 😂😂😂
This queen started saying “do I need to check your hard drives” and now I’m a subbed. 🖤🔥
I just had this realization you’re a comedian, creative nerd❤, a business owner, extremely buff, you seem to have a normal grip on most topics… omg leave some success for the rest of us 😂 ❤
Yeah and Michelle also has gorgeous hair and make up skills. And is a dog mom

@keinyabelin your kid is a baller
Cleaning the catboxes only every two weeks with FOUR CATS! oh dear God, you know it has to smell horrible in that house!
It is crazy. I tried to scoop everyday for my cat and deep clean litter box every week
I was waiting on this commentary from you. I got my tubes removed after my 4th because they refuse to do it after my 3rd. I love all my kids, but it had to stop. And I’m saying this fully married and with one husband. No baby daddies…
My husband got a vasectomy bc I told him 4 was enough and all boys at that lol I have accepted the fact I am outnumbered and just hope I get some granddaughters 🥰
I laughed so hard when you yelled, "bring in another pot of love!"
17:32 I love that this woman is screaming into the void. I hope it’s cathartic for her. She has been through it and I wish her the best.
I love her 😂
The way I started loling
There are over 8 billion of us. We understood the assignment. We were fruitful and we multiplied. Mission accomplished. We did the thing. We covered the earth. We can ease off now. Don't want kids? There is NO NEED to have them. I mean, if you want them, have one or two. But having more than you can care for, and then blaming some sort of religious requirement, is disgusting to me.
Preach we populated enough 😅
Actually we are about to go into a population crash in several countries. South korea is about to be wiped off the map and japan is close behind. Europes fertility rate is abysmal. Certain countries need to be having more kids, others need to be having less.
There's a reason they're not having kids.
@@Mink_Tracks which is more of societal, monetary problem than a population problem because of the 8 BILLION. We are making other animals extinct, threatening our food supplies with global warming, and many people are already starving and in poverty because of how many people we have. We will be fine if we depopulate a bit (and in some ways the rest of the earth would be better off without us entirely or less of us).
@@whatthefkiswrongwithyoutubemore than one between hikikomori, misogyny, not making enough money to have kids, not being rewarded by hard work and toxic work culture.
Difference between Japan and us is either that makes you have 0-2 kids or 8+ , really bad sex ed, and we allow more immigration.
I thought it was sad to see Elon Musk do this even though he can financially provide and pretend not emotionally to care while making decisions not in their interest. At least he doesn't pretend daddy loves them.
It's hard to call but statisticslly foster care would be better than sleeping on the floor.
Can someone explain to me why people scream “eugenics” when people say “if you can’t provide children a comfortable upbringing”???
Because people who want to read the worst case in anything will find one.
In this case, saying "if you can't afford kids you shouldn't have them" becomes "poor people shouldn't have kids" becomes "people of colour and disabled people are, to some degree, more likely to be poor, and therefore anyone who says poor people shouldn't have kids is essentially saying that disabled and people of colour shouldn't have children" which, at its core is kind of an eugenics idea, tho they usually hide it in "survival of the best genes" ideas that just so happen to exist in the white race, typically.
Its kind of similar to
A - "I'm so broke all the time"
B - "well you do eat out a lot, maybe you should cut down on that"
A - "so you want me to starve then?"

Speaking as a person of color AND as a person with SEVERAL diagnosed disabilities, if somebody said that people of color and disabled (*a demographic of people that are typically poor/impoverished*) shouldn't have kids and some other uneducated, unintelligent, non-intellectual moron that's ignorant to the bigger picture, came along and called it "eugenics," I promise you that WOULDN'T offend me in the slightest! 🙅
Those demographics (*and other demographics*) of people shouldn't have kids and if that's "eugenics" at its core, oh well! So be it! I support eugenics wholeheartedly! 🤷
Its unfair to the person being born against their will without any say of who their breeders will be, their gender, nationality, race/ethnicity, environment and whatever medical issues they may or may not have! Whether they're born with them or develops later on in life!

CPS does often target low income families because they know they usually won't get an attorney to fight back. Rich but abusive families they leave alone. The foster system in US is a nasty machine. That's what people probably equate the saying with.
Yesssssssssssssssss I KNEW you were gonna cover the Jenkins 🤣🤣🤣💚💚💚 made this workout WORTH IT!!!
This lady reminds me so much of someone i know and have to deal with on a regular basis, the way she talks, walks, acts, and manipulates. Even the way she looks, it's so uncanny! I swear they have to be related somehow. What a horrible human being. These poor babys.
Naww, this is absolutely insane! My parents were addicts, my dad was on crack my, my mom loved speed. Yet we had a 2-family flat, both flats had 3 bedrooms. They only had 4 kids living with them but they have 7. We ALWAYS had food in the house, clean clothes, out own beds and bedrooms, my mama taught me how to cook and clean, we never really made it to school on time tho 😬 and we had animals. My lil brother and I didn't even know about our parents' drug addiction until we were in our mid teens, almost adults. There is NO excuse for what they're doing. My mom and dad both worked, my mom only part time because my dad worked sometimes 16 hours a day
Was this in the UK with government housing? Because that's very much not an option in the US. It's barely an option in Canada. There's an 8 year waiting list.
@@o3MTA3osome drug addicts get jobs so they can afford things. The problem is when they don’t have jobs they will still find a way to make a ton of money, and that’ll be stealing.
@o3MTA3o no, I live in the US. The house was owned by my grandma, and when she passed away, my dad took over. We eventually sold and moved because they got behind on property taxes
I almost peed laughing when you gave birth to Rigby😂
The splat and the greenscreen 😂😂😂
I may be broke, but I am broke alone...Never understood why the poorest have so many pets and kids (and usually fat). like just stop. STOP already. Nothing will fill your empty hole inside but self improvement .
Yea ikr! And people constantly scold me bc i dont have children. Ugh.
I know. I dont even have a dog yet let alone kids because I struggle financialy (especialy that I have BPD so my toxic trait is overspending) so I dont get it lol
Arleta, y'all should both go live watching them go live! I got like 8 buckets of popcorn ready and I am here for it!
6:21 He’ll what 💀
I just hear CPS knocking on their door. There's no way they can have feed 8 kids. People can barely get by with one child nowadays
They’re providing all the documentation to make their job easier with the Tik Toks
Stoner mama here. My kids have beds, clean clothes, a clean house, and plenty of food to eat. If we don't have any of the necessities, or money for something they need, I don't buy 🍃
Are you saving for your retirement so they aren't forced to care for you in old age? A lot of people forget about that. I had to care for both my parents.
@rebeccaspratling2865 3 different streams of retirement plans between my husband and I, all have life insurances attached to them. Yes. We planned.
> Alcoholic mama here. My kids have beds, clean clothes, a clean house, and plenty of food to eat. If we don't have any of the necessities, or money for something they need, I don't buy wine
Like not to be rude, but that's kind of how this reads to me. Sure it's good that you put your kids before your drug habit, but maybe work on the drug habit too?
@@orirune3079 She stated that she was a stoner bc the the mom in the video is also a stoner, but exemplifies that its not an excuse to let your kids go without necessities. Also, actively not buying weed when the extra funds are required does not equate to an alcoholic bc making the choice to not smoke shows that she's not dependent on the substance.
@@orirune3079as an alcoholic, its no where near comparable lmao i wouldnt have kids at all bc i drink, when i smoked i did it at home after my two jobs and workout routine, weed doesnt need to be consumed in big quantities
I was a property manager in the ghetto. There was 8 different families living in a studio or 1 bedrm with 3-8 kids. It was very sad.
Thank you poor people for making sure the tax base doesn't decrease. Really thoughtful of you.
When i first had children, we had everything. Then... we lost it all and i had to move into the tiniest studio with all my children. Their dad was abusing me and using them to hurt me. Took me a bit to recover but the best thing i did after living was deciding not to have another man in my life again
I'm going to be alone while i get a job and sort all of this out. Still, my babies always have a bed to sleep on (I'm the one on the floor). I can't stand people like this. You have children, poor or not, do better by them. I need to get my act together too but i pray to God i never stoop this low again
You will get back on your feet. I know I'm a stranger on the internet but I am proud of you for getting out.
100%
I also had fo restart and that's all I will ever say about it,
my kids are my priority and will always be,
No words. They should be banned from social media. And Social Services should pay them a visit.
This!!!
STAAAHP. 😫
But no for real, my husband and I are done with 2 in our 3 bedroom townhouse because we don't think it would be fair to make kids share a room if we can help it. Accidents can happen obviously, but if you're actively trying to have more without the proper resources you're irresponsible.
We only have 1 in a 3 bedroom house and I’m done lol! Possible TMI but condoms work just fine with just a little bit of awareness and education!
After a certain age, boys and girls are required by law to sleep separately 😒😒😒😒😒

I grew up poor and used to have nightmares that I had kids I couldn't feed while I was working multiple jobs to get through college. This was literally my worst nightmare, but thankfully, I never had to deal with that. It's been 20 years now, and I have 2 grown kids able to feed themselves. I have no idea how anyone can think like this. Sometimes, you just have to live with where you are, and for that, I have tremendous sympathy, but this is a choice.
He says he doesn’t want a job that has a W2 form. That’s because he doesn’t want his wages garnished for child support.
Also why hasn’t someone figured out how to call CPS?? Where do these people live?
I'm 32 & my husband & I are still waiting to have a kid because first we had no space in our apartment & then when we moved into our house he had emergency cancer surgery. We're still paying those bills off. We cannot afford a child right now & we're waiting till we're a little bit better.
Already better parents than the parents in the video
Wish you the best of luck 🙏 eventually you will be amazing parents
These poor kids and poor cats. None of this is normal.
My husband and I were absolutely fit financially when we decided to have our second child then, about the time I was 7 months along, my husband got laid off and we ended up having to move in with family for a while.
What did we do? We fought like hell to get where we wanted to be. We ended up with roommates for a little bit, then finally got into our own place when our youngest was 8 months old.
Bc of that experience while I was still pregnant we decided 2 was PLENTY and I got my tubes removed bc I didn’t want to risk it.
Now we’re in a great spot financially, living in a 3 bedroom house with plenty of space for the 4 of us, and my husband and I work full time to make it happen.
This all to say, I cannot even begin to imagine having MORE kids if I couldn’t take care of the ones I already have. I desperately wanted 3 kids but I had to put my own feeling aside and realize that with how the economy is and how a situation can change super suddenly, more kids is not a good idea.
