Why do some single mothers just keep splorting out more kids?

[JosephStalin]

Every now and then I donate to someone through Modest Needs. They use crowdfunding to fund urgent needs, of $2,000 or less, that can't be met any other way.

Got an email feed from Modest Needs today, where some essential workers were in dire straits and time was running out. Saw this one in particular.

COVID-19: Furloughed Postal Worker and Mom of Five is About to Lose Her Home. Can You Help?
My Story:

I am a single mother of 5. I just recently had my baby girl. I have 3 girls and 2 boys ages are 12, 10, 6, 1 and 1 month. They are my reason to keep pushing everyday, but right now, our family is about to be in trouble.

I'm an essential worker. I've worked for the USPS for a very long time sorting and delivering mail. Well, i was pregnant when the COVID-19 pandemic started, and within a month, we'd had three cases at the PO where I work. So, because I was pregnant, I had no choice but to be furloughed.

Luckily, I had my daughter about a month ago, and she's safe. But because of layoffs caused by COVID-19, I haven't been able to go back to work yet. My only income is the unemployment I'm currently receiving, and that's just barely enough to pay the bills, much less feed a family of 5.

We've been able to get a little help with food, and I've managed to keep most of our essential bills paid. But over the past couple of months, I've gotten behind on the rent. Our landlord has been patient, but I'm now two months behind, and if I can't pay rent by the 15th, he's going to evict us.

I'm hoping Modest Needs can PLEASE help me to catch up on our rent. If you're able to help, you'll keep me and my kids in our home, and hopefully I won't need help again because it looks like I'll be able to go back to work soon. My kids are my greatest gift. Please help me keep a roof over their heads until I can get back to work. Thank you so much helping if you can.

Help Complete this Application

$1,330.00	is the total cost to complete this application, including the cost of fulfillment.
$1,330.00	has already been given to Modest Needs by donors who've recommended this application for funding.
$0.00	is the amount necessary to complete this applicant's request for help.

Have bolded the sentence I have a problem with. Notice that nowhere in this request is/are the children's father/fathers mentioned. Apparently he/they contribute(s) nothing to this lady but his/their sperm. So why does she keep splorting out kids, now up to five? How many more are on deck? How does this lady support herself and five kids on her earnings, even with the various benefits? How does she consider her kids her greatest gift, if she cannot support them? She apparently doesn't care that her older kids have very likely been worrying if they'll have a roof over their heads.

I take my namesake's approach here. Soviet battle doctrine was never to reinforce failure. They would reinforce the unit doing the best so as to achieve the objective(s) quicker. To me, this woman's approach is a failure, and I didn't donate a cent. I donate when the need is due to no fault of the requestee's own and is truly urgent. I encourage anyone to check out Modest Needs. Good way to make a few dollars do a lot of good, at least for those who aren't busy making utter fools of themselves.

Gibs and alimony for sowing your wild oats?

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Gov'ment gibs.

 

[w4vy_gr4vy]

It's either that or get a real job.

[General Disarray]

you know why.

 

[Johan Schmidt]

Confirmation bias. The ones that make a mistake because they made a mistake, find a man and no one hears about that time they got pregnant at eighteen and married a twenty nine year old for security; then stayed with him.

The ones that make a mistake because they're fucking retarded don't stop being fucking retarded. So they keep making mistakes.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Besides the fact they can do it because papa government will pay the bills (excluding the funeral procedure for the women the offsprings will inevitably kill), there's probably some abandonment issue with the idea the children won't abandon the mom, unlike the dad(s).

 

[CrippleThreat]

The real question in regards to these types of mother is why do they refuse to use contraceptives? Either pop a pill or tell your mate to wrap up. Or both.

 

[Zero Day Defense]

When in doubt, blame the Sexual Revolution.

But the pill makes them feel queasy, and the guy doesn't like how the latex feels...

 

[TFT-A9]

Because modern American society happily subsidizes bad decision-making

 

[DumbDude42]

tl;dr because the welfare state enables their parasitic lifestyle

Getting your tubes tied or cut is also an option.

I don't know. Why do men keep sticking their dicks into the unwashed cunts of random whores?

Have these people never heard of a set of stairs?

 

[Jimmy Durante's Ballsack]

When in doubt, blame the Sexual Revolution.

Don't forget the welfare system that incentivizes poor women to produce children and discourages their men from sticking around.

 

[Koby_Fish]

this reminds me of this one woman, who had like, 18 kids or something, and the man/men didn't stick around, and she was like "Somebody gotta pay for all these kids" and asking for help.

 

[TheProdigalStunna]

This. I think everyone here can agree that single mothers are a scourge on society and should never be encouraged, but the blame ought to go both ways. Yes, women should keep their legs shut, but men also need to be shamed for sticking their dick into everything with a pulse. If they do, they need to take responsibility for the life they create.

I know traditionalists can get a little rosy about the past, as people definitely got knocked up out of wedlock before the sexual revolution. My own grandparents did that. However, one difference is that people understood that when that happened, there was no other choice than to get married. Marriage was not about each others' personal fulfillment, but rather as a bedrock for the family, for the creation of new life. Basically, the same logic that underlies contraception (sex is about personal pleasure, not with the potential to create new life) was now applied to marriage itself. Now, my grandparents' marriage was a sham, but nonetheless it was still better that my mom grew up with both parents still around supporting her. Of course, most shotgun weddings will result in unhappy marriages. Guess what? The purpose of marriage is not to make you happy! You sucked it up and dealt with it. Now, there is no longer any real social pressures on people, and children have suffered for it. Shame exists in virtually every society for a reason.

The sexual revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Getting rid of a culture of shame was an even worse one.

Or you know, just stop having sex when you aren't even married. It's a good idea to fuck someone you know will be around to raise the kids. I get that we're human and we have sexual urges, but part of being human is being able to make rational decisions and judgements. It's why we have civilization in the first place: because the hunter-gatherer lifestyle isn't exactly fun or really advantageous for humans in the long run.

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

I know of single mothers who only had one kid and were able to provide for them.

Some are just dumb.
