why do some people who are on public aid keep having kid after kid instead of exercising some form of birthcontrol. i can see making one mistake but then bringing more kids into the world that you cant take care of?my neighbor was 24 and had 5 kids, her oldest was 10. one time i babysat for her and they got on my nerves so bad. i cant imagine bringing that many children in the world. i know a lack of education/ knowledge can be a culprit but exercise common sense.

Blame their parents. A lot of times the person having all the children, came from parents who had a lot of children.
And blame the government. Many women learn quickly that there is more government support money available based on the number of children they have.
Instead of education and a job, they live in poverty with several children. BUT they do not have to work!
THEIR children grow up never getting an education, never geting a decent job, and repeat the same mistakes that their mother did.
Where is the father? He is no where to be found.

maximum states absolutely provide the lady information until eventually the youngster is a particular age. it really is mostly at the same time as the youngster is 5 years previous, because they are previous adequate to move to college and the lady can paintings in the course of the day, hence she will be able of not want information. i think some women people rather have yet another youngster, then they could proceed to exist welfare for an prolonged time. there'll continually be someone which will take advantage of any variety of help they get. There are "mom and father" who do not care about their little ones, and observe their little ones with the target to get money. yet I attempt now to not evaluate all people, rather someone who's having a demanding existence.

A long time ago, the more kids you had, the more assistance you got. They don't do that anymore. I don't know why people keep having kids they can't afford. I guess it's ignorance, lack of money and lust. And I mean lack of money because they aren't using birth control. Although I think most people on assistance can get birth control, condoms, etc. So, there's no excuse.
Some people just don't have any common sense. Maybe they think people will feel sorry for them. The only people I feel sorry for are the kids they have because they have stupid parents.

I think they do it because they aren't intelligent enough to realize that public aid won't cover everything and the more kids the more money. They don't care that they are living off everyone else and if they don't get themselves off it they'll never have anything. Personally I think every state should pass a law that they'll only pay for 2 to be born and only supposed 2 and once that youngest is at pre-school age they should have to go to work and their benefits should get cut back. Then these women might rethink living off the system.

Sadly, some people see welfare as a career choice, and the more kids you have the more money you get. And if your mom (especially if she's single) is on welfare, then statistically, you are likely to follow the pattern. Often there is also drug abuse, spousal assault, and mental illness involved. Aside from mandatory sterilization - which I would never condone - there is really nothing to stop the cycle.

Maybe poor people have bad luck with all birth control methods besides abstinence. Some just pop babies out on purpose though, but most, I bet, had tried not to have babies after the first one.

I don't know why two jobless people have sex either. It's so ridiculous, wheter you are on birth control or not you need to be able to stand up and be ready to support that child financially.

Of course not. This is because doing this is like digging your own grave.Besides,by doing this, you are not the only one suffering,your children are also suffering because there's not enough money to support them.
