Baby Mommy can bring in a whole lot more Free Stuff without Baby Daddy gumming up the works with Marriage'n'Shit

She can get a place in da Projects, WIC, food stamps, Medicaid etc etc etc.

Baby Daddy can visit. So can all the Youths on da Projects.

Baby Daddy becomes obsolete.

Baby can grow up in da Projects and learn to Count to Potato in da Public Schools.


And grow up to make the same mistakes.

Or the kid could have decent shot at life by way of adoption.

Former social worker here, seen it thousands of times

Absolutely ZERO magic goes on with unplanned welfare pregnancy.

Lots of misery and wasted opportunity, that and not much else
 Quoting: goodmockingbird

Friend's unplanned grandson. "It'll be FUN!" says she. "I was turned down for disability by the state for my fibromyalgia, so now we can get the rent and WIC and free diapers and everything.
We have our sh*t together- after all we have 3 cats and a BIG dog in that tiny apartment and my boyfriend is so accomodating taking care of all the animals because - you know I can't walk him due to my fibromyalgia"

Baby born with state medical and thank god he is healthy and beautiful - she quit smoking and anti-depressants and fibromyalgia meds during pregnancy; until 3 hours after baby born - then outside the hospital puffing it up with cigarette smoke. Bored, lonely, taking care of kid good but like he was a doll (she is twenty something but ..).

So, when she can't afford the "stuff" she wants and the kid too - he asks her to get a job to help out. He works all the hours he can get. Comes home and a few beers later passes out - rinse, repeat.

FIRST job she snags calls for her to be OUT OF TOWN a wwwwwwwwweeek at a time. He says ok, the money is good. She LOVES her new job. Makes money. Stays in a hotel. Fixes herself up and loses weight and puts her tongue ring back in. And BAM.

Leaves him with the 15 month old kid. He has sense enough to send the cats and dogs with her. Oh, darn section 8 doesn't take my pets. BUT my MOM will - she has an apartment! And WIC will pay for it.

So, she sees the kid when she is in town - and her MOM babysits during the day while he is at work. And his MOM takes him other days or weekends when he also works. And the babysitter takes him the rest of the time when the MOMs are working or sick. The kid has everything, but a functioning family.

Of course, she is from the wrong side of town and told me she's doing the best she can - most of her friends from high school are in jail. Tattooed and nuts and bolts in her eyebrow, tongue, etc. She doesn't do drugs - (just hooked on prescription pain relievers and antidepressants).

So - this kid gets passed around like a hot potato and the Dad is stepping up BIG time and has agreed to have no life. But he will burn out. He makes $19,000yr as a cook and has every night and weekend unless they are "nice" to him. His parents bought his car and help a couple hundred now and then. Support system running thin. They are not healthy and not working enough to keep it up. Grandparents have no retirement or back-up either. They thought their kids would help. Opposite is true.

And she will have another kid with her NEW boyfriend (living at MOMs apartment rent free with all the cats and dogs and the kid-when she's in town). Yep - you got some thinkin' to do. This kid isn't even two yet.
