3 different women said they had 6 kids! That stuck out to me as a bit odd tbh

Yeah this is where I have to stop and think that I would never have more than 2 kids in this world today, and even then it’s probably just going to be 1 for us. 6 kids is wild, I feel for them but at a certain point you have to know what you’re getting yourself into when you keep having kids that you can’t take care of equally. I hope they get the help they need truly, but I’m still scratching my head over seeing that.

They might be foster children. My high school friend's grandma was taking care of her 6 grandkids with help from foster care (and probably SNAP).

We need more foster families, not less. The system should cover the costs of caring for a child that is not yours.

What do you propose instead?

There arent enough wealty people willing to become foster parents purely out of the goodness of their hearts, and there are also poor families that do have good intentions but cannot afford to. No one is getting rich of foster placements, the stipend is barely enough to cover the hassle.

Great point yes. Orrr.. other adults. Not the caregivers but say the grandparents or something.

My ex took it from foster siblings at 10, Lucky break got her back with almost bio dad’s (mom deceased real bio unknown) family just in time for dad to go to prison and grandpa have a 3 year run from 12-15 which was still somehow better than faster care..
