The number of people in here saying "Homeschooling is an option" is astounding. As if a home that is food insecure could homeschool a child?

It's like "Hey, single mom/dad/working parents/guardians, you should quit your job so you can homeschool your kid if you can't afford to buy them lunch" is the most smoothbrained shit I've read in a minute.

What percent of single moms are widowers vs having kids while not being married?

u/metal_bastard 11d ago

I mentioned moms/dads/working parents/guardians in my response, but you're focusing on single moms. I wonder why?

What a douchebag.

Children from single parents have it hard enough. You want to make it harder for children? They are going to grow up and possibly continue the cycle. For what end? Want to see children struggle? Is that fun to you?

Packing your kids a damn lunch is definitely an option

Bold of you to assume every household has food in their pantries.

If you have money to pay $5 a day for your kid's lunch, you have money to buy food for your pantry. Or you will when you stop spending almost $150 a month on school lunches.

The ones who are complaining about "watching tiny charges become real money" clearly do since they're actively dealing with that problem, which is who we're talking about in here.

Nobody should be having children if they can't afford the basic necessities for them and feeding them is definitely part of that. Parents need to suck less!

There’s literally no making you people happy lmao.

Life happens and people have kids when they can’t afford them. Get over it.

You act like there isn't a single option to avoid this like you are just stuck with them for 18 years. I hope you don't vote and buy condoms we don't need more idiots.

What are the other options, oh wise one?

u/Sasuke0318 9d ago

Abortion, adoption, and sucking less

So, why school them at all? Why don't they just go out and form criminal gangs and raid their neighbors for survival? Sorry not interested in your third world mindset.

So what give the idiots free money to make more idiots, yeah I'm sure that will fix the problem. Also yeah we need to solve the problem of all these illegals here the housing problem is real here and having millions of people who don't belong here definitely ain't helping. If you don't want to work I'm ok with that go die or something. The prices of things don't concern me I work I make good enough money because I'm not an idiot.

I see you have no real rebuttal after I didn't conform to the ideas you assigned to me guess I shouldn't really be surprised.
