I’m not saying the article is wrong, but if you have seven children, you did this to yourself
With so many states cutting off access to abortion, family planning is getting even more difficult.
I wish your parents had tbh
A family of 7 implies ~~five~~ six children
Edit: It says her husband was deported to Mexico and she's now a single mom
So it said "family of seven", which probably means 5 children and 2 adults, or just as likely, 4 children, 2 adults and 1 elderly parent.
The really weird thing about this is that even without making any sort of moral judgement, the numbers still don't add up. For example, I have a family of 6 (and only 2 of those are my kids), and our grocery bill is between $150 and $200 a week (about $700 a month). How do you get to $2400 a month? What are you feeding them? Are you ordering takeout ever day? Because that would be stupid.
If you read the article it states that her husband was deported back to Mexico, so it's her and 6 kids.
You also don't know if she lives in a food desert where a single grocery store could charge whatever prices it wants because there's no competition.
Right. $2400 buys a lot of raw ingredients. Get a Costco membership ffs!!
