Defending bad behavior: Doesn’t work for me
I have just finished reading a fellow blogger’s post defending Octo-mom. I don’t think her kids should be taken from her, but I don’t think we should be asked to take care of someone who put themselves in such a bad situation.
This blogger offered some solutions on how to help her. From prayer to taking care of her brood. Well I would be more than happy to pray for the children because they are really going to need divine intervention. Another suggestion was for neighbors to set up parenting circles to give help to this woman.
Where would most people find the time? Most smaller families have both mother and fathers working in this world where two paychecks are needed to support the family. Besides, I have watched interviews with this women and getting involved with her is setting yourself up for problems. She doesn’t seem to be grateful for anything! Her attitude is one of entitlement. She is a larger example of what is wrong with a lot of young people. They think they can do whatever they want. When it doesn’t turn out right, they yell for the world to rescue them!
I for one will not be there to hear her cries. I worked full time as a night nurse, with young children, while their father served two tours of duty in Vietnam. Where was the help for me and my children? Who offered a hand when I became a single mother because my ex was never the same after the war?
Folks I believe in taking a hard look at your situation and working to get out of it. Don’t cry and moan for others to save you. Have I ever helped someone and have my friends not helped me in my time of need? The answer is YES!. But that does not mean I would let them coddle me forever.
The author of the blog defending Nayda said we could, if we wanted to throw stones, to throw them at her. Well I am filling up a bucket with rocks, because I am sure you are one of those who would picket to not let a child abuser out of jail to walk amongst us.
Get a gripe lady! We don’t hate the babies! They will be taken care of just like the other six. By your and my tax dollars!!
