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.

Kids being raised without fathers is probably one of the top 3 reasons our society has declined so much in the last 50 years. That's just my opinion.
You should go to red box and rent Courageous.

It's the kids my heart is hurting for, not the mom or the dads.
And FYI a lot of them are white, so its not just back folks having litters of kids.
What makes me mad is when the mom has on designer clothing and glasses, but has no extra money for the kids to get a decent frame.
I'm feeling like a bad person.
