I'm trying to keep from judging people.

I'm a optician and we take Medicaid for glasses. I see a lot of people who come in with 4 or more kids. What upsets me is often the kids have different last names. (like 3 or more different last names) Most of the moms are really young. I just feel sad that its the kids who will suffer in most cases. Never enough money, not knowing their fathers, lack of stability in their life's.

I do have limited conversations with the moms. They often tell me they have no extra money to spend on anything other then what Medicaid will pay. Due to the father or fathers lack of support.

Just venting. Had a young mom with 5 kids yesterday and 4 had different fathers. She broke down and cried when her kids had to wear the frames that Medicaid would pay for. (kinda ugly frames IMO). Her oldest child was trying to comfort her.

My heart was broken. If I had money to spare, I would have purchased the frames for the kids myself. Frown

Quote from chewspam :
Kratos was just trying to be positive and say that it was good they weren't aborted to begin with. I just commented that 1/2 of all abortions are performed on blacks, and the statistics back me up. But I never assumed she was talking about black folks. If anything, I would assume she was talking about white people considering more white folks are on medicaid, there are more whites than blacks, and half of abortions are performed on blacks which would lead me to think that the black population ain't exactly growing at an substantial and exponential rate. So going with my statistical-ly themed posts, I'd say the statistics are better that the families she's talking about are white.

I didn't make any sort of comment on my opinion of either race or abortion. I just simply gave CDC statistics.

The coffee at my work sucks, but it sure gets me productive! laugh out loud
Ok, now i understand.
