FLINT, Michigan -- With 10 kids and no vehicle, Latrica Ryan is used to juggling.

Going to a movie or out for dinner is a like plotting a major tactical undertaking. Not that such outings happen that much.

"It would really be nice if I could take my kids where they needed to go, instead of having to find them a ride," Ryan said. "And when we do go somewhere, I have to pay four or five people (for gas) to get us all there.

"I have booster seats and car seats. It's a lot."

Ryan, is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years.

I know, unbelievable isn’t it?

Now she’s looking for help...geesh.

[Homer1]

she knoww that a stork isn’t really involved in the process, right?

[autumnraine]

If you can’t afford a bus or a 15 passenger van, don’t have 10 children.

[Chickensoup]

Would a better term be a sucking off the system mom??

[G.Mason]

"In the old days, she would have been shamed after number 1...and that would be that...but now, she’s a media hero."

She's a slut, and the media can have her. They deserve each other.

[4yearlurker]

Wow. That’s a real sob story. Maybe we should all help her out with a few bucks. Oh....wait a minute. We already are.

[MrB]

Oh, you're hillarious!!!

at what age this woman married Ahahahah!

I wonder what the father does in this case, to avoid putting unfair burden on others

Ahahaha!!!

The sad part is, I know libs that would call a large conservative family "irresponsible" (when they are self supporting), and then turn around and claim that a woman like this should have the "choice" to make as many kids as she wants to.

[Sybeck1]

Was I mistaken, or did I hear the word “orphanage” mentioned by some GOP stalwarts in the early 90’s?

[denydenydeny]

Without a father in the house, it’s not a family, it’s a felon factory.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Look at how the Duggars (18 kids, i think) are vilified by many. As I understand it, they pay all their own bills.

[Skooz]

Yep. Looks like a one household crime wave on the way.

[thecabal]

You really think what she did was divinely inspired?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

“Well, she obeyed the command to Be Fruitful and Multiply.
Interesting that no conservatives of faith seem to mention this and come to her defense.”

So true. If she was ‘white’ and/or , gawd forgive, Christian, the libs would have an absolute field day....calling her ‘selfish’ and ‘ruining planet earth’. They would demand her to pay carbon credits, too.

[Ingtar]

I have news on the command to be fruitful and multiply. It goes on to say “and replenish the Earth.” News flash: the Earth is replenished. Having more kids in order to gain more forced charity is not covered by this. Rather, it is a sin akin to stealing.

I would have loved to have had ten children, but we stopped after two because of money. My husband, yes, I had one, had four children from his first marriage. There were times when we had no vehicle and six children to shop for. Movies and eating out were out of the question. As I look back now, all I can remember is being so poor. BTW, my husband was career military and we were only saved by army housing.

I would have loved to have stayed home and had a baby each year, but we don't all get what we want.

[Skooz]

The Duggars pay their own bills and are, as far as I know, self sufficient.

At least all 18 kids know who their daddy is.

[MrB]

The left never can call things what they are because it would destroy them.

They are just taking after their "father".

Welfare mammies is so ‘70s.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

She needs to call ‘Maury’ and get those DNA tests. /s
