Single moms struggle with housing, childcare, employment in pandemic

Alisha Carter and her five daughters were homeless while she continued working as a mail carrier. They now have a home. Angel Marino, a mother of three, has also been working through the pandemic.

This is why we all need to accept the responsibility of laying down and having children. they did not ask to be here.

It’s just not a good idea to have children if you’re not married.

Why do have so many kids if you can't support them

[alyssasaunders]

I just find it hard to believe that when a mother leaves she’s deemed as not ready or not fit but when the father leaves he’s deemed as an automatic dead beat father

[jay-t]

Lol where are the fathers? Being a single mom is a choice, when u popping out babies outside of marriage.

[justinyancosky]

Ask that woman were the child's fathers are

[JoseMendoza-dfld]

Why does birth control even exist, seems like a waste of time if women don't actually use it when having sex with bums who have no interest in being fathers? I should know my father is a drug addict who is currently in prison.

[markandrews]

Why don’t they tell the whole story? They have no idea about this woman’s history, credit rating, or why she has five kids in the first place if she can afford it. Again the news media not doing their job!

[ridealongwithnicolle]

For all the judgemental people out of there- NOT all single mums are jobless. I wish this lady and her children the best

[RoamingUndertheStars]

Well i guess pick better partners to reproduce with? and don't have a second or third child if you're struggling to take care of the first one? 🤷 just a thought

[brianah]

People are saying how they should've been married first, as if husbands don't cheat or leave too 🙄

[feferosette]

Enjoyed the video. These women need to stop having all these children if they are poor.

[middletech]

5 children, no husband, and she wonders why she is homeless.
What you did wrong was not take responsibility with your own body.

The consequences to have kids with Chad, Tyrone and Ray Ray.

Life hits you hard I have four kids made some real bad life choices I'm only hanging in here for my kids. People don't know I'm struggling I keep my babies well feed, well clothed, they're all so smart I always take time to read with them and teach them new things, they're all in school, I keep up with my children, I may not have everything I need for myself and I am fine with that as long as my children don't go without that's all I care about. I love doing it it's what I'm supposed to do anyway as their parent. I hope people watch this and read what I am saying and take it as a warning to not have kids too soon. Get your life in order set yourself up to always win. If my mom wasn't dying and sick I'd have so much more support life can throw so much at you. Don't be irresponsible like I was do better for yourself. If you have children don't give up. You have to fight for the life you want for them and the life they deserve its a must.

Why she kept having all these kids all under ten

[J.I.]

The govt has to be removed from the family equation in order to fix this. Remove welfare (section 8, child support, food stamps etc) and women will relearn to get MARRIED BEFORE YOU CARRY A CHILD. In this day and age the WOMAN has full say over if a child is born or not so IT IS THEIR FAULT when a kid is born. These bad decisions of having children without a MARRIAGE is incentivized by the govt throigh welfare and as long as the govt interferes this will only continue. This is by design

[Prateekreactions]

Being divorced.. understandable!
But having kids, when not married is dumbshit

[pedrogomezrodriguez]

Unfortunately, poor families have some many damn kids. Having to many kids equal poverty. Simple like this

I’m a single mother. My husband passed away from complications with type 2 diabetes. Does that mean I’m less than? - I swear some of the comments here are just rude.
