Too many in US want a free ride on the backs of other hard working People.

When I was young I watched mom's living an easier life on welfare. I had people tell me I should quit my job and stay home with my kids instead of working 20 days straight. But I knew my kids needed a home to grow up in instead of govt housing.
I also watched my retired mom struggle with medical. She didn't qualify for Medicaid. She struggled to pay supplemental insurance and prescriptions, while her cousin on Medicaid and foodstamps enjoyed vacations.
I might make a different decision going into retirement. Property disqualifies me from getting any assistance. I have 3 kids who will need homes. I've already quit claimed my daughter her home. I might sit back on the gravy.

If your kids grow up to do drivebys who's fault will it be?

One of the advantages of growing up in a military family, is that I NEVER came home to an empty house.

I remember watching tv as a kid and this PSA would come on, : "It's 10pm, do you know where your children are?"

My mom ALWAYS knew.

If you didn't, you have no one to thank (or blame) but yourself.

P.S. Real homes have parents in them.

Who said my kids came home to an empty house? My daughter is married. Her husband was in the military for 7 years. They are back now living two houses up the street in the home i gave them with their two kids.

My son was in the military until he started having seizures. He is asleep now because he worked 10 hours last night. Like he does 6 nights a week.

I have a 14 year old who is in advanced classes. 8ve done well for myself. I get by on rental income.

My mom watched my kids for me to work years ago. Just like I watched my grandson while my son in law was in Iraq and my daughter was in school. It's called family.

Now explain how these welfare mom's kids keep ending up in prison.

Anyone that has read my replies on any number of threads knows I advocate active parenting.

There are a lot of "Real" homes that have no parents, single parents and worthless parents but they are still real homes.

Even people defrauding the welfare system have real homes.

Having a job doesn't keep you from being a parent. Most jobs are 8-12 hours and then you go home. School is 8 hours. That doesn't mean parents are childless because kids go to school lol. I was with my kids everyday. We did all the normal things. Cub scouts, baseball, dance classes, dinner together, etc.
A lot of the welfare mom's couldn't care less about what their kids are doing. Some make the kids stay outside so they can lay up with men.

Hey,weren't you the one telling us that parents on welfare is a good thing because they get stay home with the kids?

Here is the reality, as soon as the kid hits their teen years they think they know everything and even knows how to threaten parents with children services.

A parent tells a kid to be home at 10 and the kid comes home at midnight and the parents grounds them the kids complain.

you cant smack them because its considered abuse, if you yell at them its verbal abuse and if you ground them and take away their smart phone, tablet, lap top or whatever device it could be considered cruel and unusual punishment

And God help you if you serve them food healthy food and they refuse to eat and you tell them sorry kid no supper for you , that is considered child abuse

So tell me mr Liberal man how are your liberal laws working for the disenfranchised folks?

Things have changed, today kids are telling their parents to F uck off , growing up I would never tell my parents to fu ck off, my dad would give me the shots, and if threaten him with children services, he would have beaten my *** and then ask me to dial them

back then parents taught us how to respect authority, and when they say be home at 10pm, we were home at 9:45 or 9:30, end of story.

We wouldn't think of violating curfew.
