- hourislate 7y agoWell that is fine but his responsibilities still exist and he is a sack of shit for not helping to support the kids.
- bittercynic 7y agoI agree that not helping to support your kids is extremely shitty, but that wasn't the most important part of the article for me. Two of the children were abandoned by their parents, and the mother in this story adopted them. She earns her living doing work that seems to be an unambiguously positive contribution to society, and takes on extra responsibilities (in the form of two entire human beings). The article paints a picture of a woman who is generous, hardworking, and disciplined, and who is getting absolutely crushed by the modern economy. That seems like a very real story to me, and a mandate to make some serious changes, even if they put a dent in the wealth of some wealthier people.
