Classof201

Situation 1

Never attended college
4 children (almost 3, almost 2, 2 day old Twins)
3 baby daddies
married for 2.5 years (is not the father of any of their children)
Receives food stamps/cash assistance/wic/low income housing/low income daycare/help with electric

Oldest daughter is not potty trained (has not even started working with her)
Gives her children to anybody who will take them
Has to be out of her low income 2 bedroom apartment because she has to many children
Has a five seat car with six people
cant afford diapers and stuff before she had the twins

Situation 2

18 years old
High School Graduate
Full time College Student
1 child (almost 2)
1 baby daddy
engaged for 3 years with baby daddy
Receives Wic
works full time
her daughter is almost completely potty trained (just accidents at night)
daughter is with her if she is not at work or school
her fiance and her bought their first home (4 bedroom house/finished basement)
Just got a new car which is a 8 seater
buys everything on their own


what do you think about both situations?
and if you HAD to be one of them which one would you be?
Im friends with both of them, btw they do get along they have been friends since they were in grade school
#2 does not have two children (her daughter is almost 2)
and she started working towards the end of last year she was a full time mom to her daughter before then
STOP referring to me I am friends with both of them, we have been friends with grade school. We call each other sisters
#2, they have already got their marriage license their wedding is january 28th 2012, they just bought the house everything was final on the fifth, they are still moving into the house. and the reason they bought the bigger car is because she does have #1 kids and her fiances sisters son a lot on the weekends so she needs the room for the car seats.

also #2 works full-time at a daycare in the toddler room so her daughter goes to that day care and her mom is in the room where she is
@smalltown, she recieves wic because she recieved it when she was pregnant, when she goes back she is telling them that she dont need it anymore (but they wont qualify because her fiance makes to much money), before they got their own place the wic went by just her income and she didnt make enough by herself so she qaulified but now they will go by both income and its to much money
@sugar and spice, somebody said something about being a full time student and working full time she nevers get time with her daughter but she works with her daughter so she does, and no the difference between you and her is that her oldest is still in diapers, meanwhile she tells her mom that she needs to go pee but her mom just ignores her so she is ready and also your daughter doesnt still drink from a bottle like all her kids do

Answer
Situation 1: Well, at least she's married but the fact that he's not the father of even the twins means that I'm not going to approve of the sex outside of marriage. Maybe she's cleaned up that act. As far as potty training goes, many kids don't get potty trained until 4+ these days, and unless I could prove she hasn't started then I wouldn't judge that they haven't started. I would rather her be home with her kids with assistance that I'm helping to pay for than use daycare.

Situation 2: Horrible that she's been engaged for 3 years, that means they got engaged at 15 and it just is far too early to be engaged. The fact they've been engaged for 3 years but still not married bodes badly as well. That they are living together and having a baby before getting married also bodes badly in the long-term. That she got pregnant at 16 makes me wonder if they really were engaged or just using that as an excuse to have sex. Glad that they're going to school, makes me cringe that they bought a home before getting married, makes me cringe that they bought a new car before getting married, makes me cringe that she probably is using daycare a lot rather than not buying these things and living more frugally (she doesn't need an 8 seater car for instance) so she can work less and stay home with her daughter.

If I had to be one of them, I would pick... the girl who didn't have sex before she was ready to commit legally to the guy. So probably situation 2, but minus the baby, the living with him, and all of that. It had potential, but she dropped the ball. If for some reason he raped her, then there's no choice in the matter and I would probably situation 2, but minus him, and possibly adopted the little one out. Situation 1 is less desirable only because of cheating on her husband she had to have done twice.

See here's the thing. You ALWAYS have a choice to not be in either of those situations.

Here's my idea that could save 70 million barrels of Oil every week...your thoughts?

Mr. Predic

First CHANGE a few laws: Allow ANYONE to drive electric operated vehicles such as Golf-Carts drive on roads with speed limits on 35 mph and under.

Simple licence changes with Insurance changes.

SHORTS trips 2-4 miles represent 79% of ALL fuel usage in America (Car & Driver Mag March 2007) Grocery, Pharmacy, doctor get a pack of smokes etc.

A decent Golf cart $2800

I have a golf cart that goes 40 mph...I drive it everywhere and love it. If it rains I pop a roof with doors on it.....I love it.

I estimate it cost me around .49 cents for a full charge.

I do use it on the course and drive to the country club everyday with it...we go to lunch in .....hell everything!

I use it to go to the barn to feed our horses, we have 2 ponds and one lake we drive out to each evening to feed the fish.

what do you think?

if you have an objection....I'll answer you right back

oh....the bastar*s would be getting billion in taxes from fuel tax...lol
Charlie, Yes I have a solar charger...it takes a full day though
OneT...well yes, I live in west Texas..near Shamrock Tx. But you foks in the city couldbenifit from this...NOT all the time....just the short trips

Answer
Good plan - keep driving your golf cart, I think if it works for you that's great.

It's not going to work for a lot of us though. I drive to the grocery store, Target, pre-school, and random other errands. I make about 5 trips out a week if that. All of my errands require me to drive on a road with a 50 mph speed limit with a car seat in the back seat. I haul a lot of stuff too. So I'll be keeping my 7 seater SUV with a V8 engine (for hauling the camper, the other use for my car).
But you should absolutely drive whatever you want to drive. Just don't ask that I give up what I want to drive.

Edit - Wow Danielle, please tell me you are joking. So every Monday when it's negative 5 degrees I have to walk or ride my bike in the snow down to the store if I need something? What if my kid gets sick? Do emergency services still get to operate? That's almost as good as this great idea I had when I was 6 for a whole new economy - my parents called it the "penny economy" but I later realized I had just come up with a slightly less realistic theory than communism.

Edit2 - I see you live in Texas. I used to live in Arkansas so I'm familiar with the type of climate you live in. I live in Colorado now - different climate, very different landscape. Come to Colorado for a winter and you won't be thinking too highly of driving a gold cart around :)
