Also how can someone be a nurse in the USA and be unemployed? The demand for nurses is through the roof - it is so high that we import huge numbers of them to try and achieve appropriate staffing levels.
Maybe they're using "nurse" in a general sense, rather than meaning she's an R.N. She could have been a health aide of some kind; the fact that she couldn't pay for car repairs suggests she wasn't earning an R.N.'s pay.
She's blaming the van that no longer works when in fact it is she who no longer works. That's okay though, we'll keep her kids in video games.
Good point, but with 10 kids I don't think she's got time for work.
You and I may question this woman's judgment and we might be able to find places in her life where she could have made better decisions. Nevertheless, it is our responsibility - through the government, of course - to pay the cost of her bad decisions.
She's unemployed because, at least according to the article, her transportation broke down and she did not have the funds to repair. Not because she can't find employment.
Truly impossible and therefore ridiculous!
Bull.
The Salvation Army or Goodwill or some other social welfare agency would have clothes for the kids in a heartbeat.
Slut! I have no sympathy for her, just hatred. I do have sympathy for taxpayers who have to slop the hogs because of our government's encouragement to freeloaders to keep being freeloaders through social welfare programs.
Her youngest is 5 months old. She may still be on maternity leave. THough it sounds like she's spent much of the last 15 years on maternity leave!
In Naples? I'm not buying this guilt trip at all. I went into a gas station on Pine Ridge two weeks ago, and the sign on the door offered a 1K signing bonus for an asst. manager position. That's cashier with a fancy title.
As the song says, "My give-a-damn's busted".
Uhhhhhhhhhhh. 10 kids maybe? I don't know how a single mom could work and take care of 10 kids.
She probably can't work because she can't afford a babysitter or daycare. The fifteen year old might be some help. However, it probably would be negligent to leave that many kids with any one babysitter. Just like it was "negligent" to have that many kids without being in a stable marriage.
My thoughts exactly -- nurses are in short supply everywhere.
