Quit having kids, you're wasting my money!
A post is made to

bad_service in which a mother with WIC vouchers and several kids was insulted to her face and behind her back by a clerk. While most people seem to agree that this is bad service, about half the commentors are also quick to tell the OP that she's brought it all on herself and to either quit whining or quit popping out babies she can't afford. 123 comments of "My thoughts on having kids" and growing.

I agree. We can't really judge from outside the situation.

Maybe they could get by without the food stamps with three kids, and then she got pregnant again by accident and the child is loved and wanted anyway. Maybe they'd be fine living in a less expensive area, but life happened and they had to move there for job reasons or a family member got sick. Maybe they budgeted and thought they were ok, but they forgot to carry the two or the car died. Or maybe one of them has a medical condition that means that they need to have the children now or risk not being able to have them later, but she'll return to the workforce and be paying taxes and paying off the credit card bill once the youngest starts school.
