This is too Sad, I wounder what the home life is like, if they think being an unemployed, welfare, housing assistance, single mother is better than being staying home?

Wow. If they only knew.

On a related note, i've seen commercials for that new TV show about kids that have to take care of a baby for a few days or something like that. I think that's a great idea. The best form of birth control out there...tkae care of a real baby for a week.

havne't seen the show yet to know how good it really is, but the tv spots make it look good.

I wish concepts like that worked in real life, the unfortunate truth is every kid watching that show will think to themselves look at how stupid these people are I could do a much better job or that would be no problem for me.. its sad but people just aren't willing to accept reality or responsibility.

I'm 24 soon to be 25 and soon to be married. I don't even know if the two of us are ready for a kid yet. I think we'll start with getting a dog or two and then work from there. I can't believe that article, dumb kids.

I read that article this morning too. All I could do was sadly shake my head. I'm only 30. I shouldn't be having these "Kids these days..." sort of thoughts yet....

Except for the homeless guy, the article doesn't say who the fathers are. In fact, it doesn't even mention them or their share the liability for the upcoming children. I wonder how many of them plan to share in raising the kids and support them for the next 18 years.

I don't think that their home life is that bad. It seems more like these girls wanted to be "BFF" and this was their way of staying together.

Seems they will be staying at home as some're too young to work, and if they did get a job who will take care of their children. This will fall on their parents.
