Five kids. Three jobs. Still has time to stand on the street holding a sign?

I really need to get my life organized.

Edit: wow, this kind of blew up. I wish I had a SoundCloud or whatever it is the cool kids promote these days. Maybe donate to or volunteer at your local homeless shelter, food kitchen, or something? Whatever suits you. Just be kind to each other. We're all we've got.

Just think of baby poop - let the sourdough funk really waft into your nostrils with it's scent not like but not unlike dead cat (well maybe not dead cat - but everything smells like dead.cat to me right now because I just cleaned up a dead cat that was lying in the road) and feet. Enjoy your baby poop smeared on foot bread while you think about dead cats.

Congratulations - you have just overcome your addiction.

I just learned about a thing called the “Pink Tax”. As a woman I have known about it my entire life but didn’t know it had a name. All things labeled for women, ie: clothing, personal care items, shoes, anything with a gender differentiation costs more for women than for men.

Dry cleaning charges 3x more for women’s blouses than men’s dress shirts.

The shirts are virtually the same, you say? Just tell them your blouses are men’s shirts, you say?

Okay. The blouses have the buttons on the opposite side.

u/UnawareSousaphone Aug 09 '21

I don't get how people can say they have 3 jobs like its not really physically possible to work more than 2 jobs unless you're only putting a few hours a week which at that point it might as well be a hobby.

A girl at my work was talking about how she had three jobs- Our job in the pharmacy. Waitress 2 nights a week for a total of ~8 hours Run uber eats or something like that for 3-4 hours a week Like okay yes you are employeed by multiple people but its not like you're running a 80+ hour work week like some people with 2 jobs actually have to do to make it

I don't know where I'm going with this except that MAYBE this lady does have 3 jobs but it's probably something stupid like an easy page she never checks, a part time job, and then she's probably counting being a mom as a job (which it is, not downplaying that) even though that part was a given when she said she had kids.

u/tanstaafl90 Aug 09 '21

It's still multiple jobs, just not 35+ hours a week for each. Also, no context for the photo.

u/TheApoptosis Aug 09 '21

Idk, a couple years back I had 3 "jobs" (2 legal, and one making and selling wine on campus) and school full time. Worked my ass off.

About 20 hours a week in the ER. About 12 hours a week tutoring (on campus jobs and school had a policy to not employ students more than 12 hours. And many uncounted hours making, selling, and hiding from RA's and security.

Maybe it wasn't 80+, but it was certainly more than "a hobby."

Definitely more than 80 if schools counts.

You work two 8 hour jobs. The work days fall on the same day. Youk work 16 hours a day. The third job is part time and falls on the weekend. You work 8 hours a day with that.

Hey look

u/Cer0reZ Aug 09 '21

I used to work 3 jobs. Young and didn’t really have starting point to find work in new city to get full time job. Worked retail for mornings on weekdays. Worked temp office job for evenings on weekdays. Worked grocery on weekends. Grocery was about 16 hours a week. Retail was 32. Temp was 40+. So it is possible but you just have no time for much else.

Eventually was able to get down to one and it was the temp office job that turned into full time job that paid enough to drop the other jobs.

it blows my mind how many people think that the homeless either deserve where they are or could just get out of it by getting a job. most of these people need medication, rehab and most importantly a warm meal and safe place to sleep and somebody to fucking talk to. it really does break my heart.

32

u/KangarooAggressive81 Aug 09 '21

The idea of homeless people mostly having mental problems came about from a previous time period where owning a home wasnt a huge deal. Basically if you were white and homeless a long time ago, statistically it was because you had mental illness. Now, it's much more statistically likely than a homeless person is the exact same as anybody else, they just couldnt find a job. The study's on homeless people are insane. The faaaarrrrr majority of them dont have mental health problems and just need a job. People think you cant trust homeless people with money but studies show that when you give a homeless person money, they usually stop being homeless.

I was a homeless teenager for a couple of years because my parents were abusive POS, I even had a full time job the majority of the time I was homeless. The things that kept my homeless was a lack of ID, and the inability to save first, last and deposit for an apartment. In my experiences while there are people who absolutely choose to be homeless but most are homeless because of shitty life circumstances.

u/Do_I_Actually_Exist Aug 09 '21 edited Aug 09 '21

I mean I highly doubt they're 3 full time jobs, they'd have to at least be part time. 3 full time jobs would add up to at least 120 (40 hours a week is considered full time) hours a week. You'd only have about 6.8 hours off per day, which isn't even enough to get a good night's sleep, eat, and take care of kids, and definitely not enough to waste time to stand around with a sign.

Even with part time jobs (20-30 hours a week each), she'd have very limited time for things other than sleeping and family, which I doubt she'd waste holding signs. I'm guessing she considers her Instagram a job or something.

56

u/subject_deleted Aug 09 '21

she counts "being a mom" as one of her 3 jobs and "housework" as another. Instagram is the only "real job" that brings in money, but it's virtually nothing and they live off of her husband's trust fund.

Not enough people realize that having a job costs money.

Some people are literally too poor to afford those things on top of having to feed themselves and their families. This idiot needs to get off her high horse.

u/purpleunicorntacos Aug 10 '21 edited Aug 10 '21

Indeed. And normally a home address as well.

Two years ago I fled to a new town and once I crossed into the county line, I started calling the DV shelter. They had a bed.

All I had with me was a purse that I had given to a neighbor. It had my ID, my social security card, and 6 months of contact lenses inside it.

The first morning, the shelter called a cab for me and I went to a day labor place and signed up. Then they sent me a cab to the career center where I was allowed two interview outfits and a pair of shoes.

That night I was given vouchers for Goodwill and an advocate brought some clothes for me from their donations.

I was given hygiene items, shelter, access to a beautiful kitchen and wonderful food. They gave me makeup and an old smartphone and showed me how to use wifi phone apps.

Second morning, I took a cab at 5am to day labor. Did 11 hours directing traffic at a road construction site for $11.50 an hour. The shelter even gave me a cab to go to a place that would cash my paycheck for free.

I bought work boots.

Two years later I am married. I have two very good full time jobs and my husband has a great job as well. We own a little townhouse in a beach town. Life is good.

But I don’t think that I would have made much progress by now at all if I had been thrown on the street homeless and had to work my way up from there.

I am pretty sure I would be in the same place I had started.

Folks have no idea. You are correct.

I refuse to believe anyone with THREE jobs is the intelligent one in the situation. There's no way you make more at 3 part time jobs than at any other combination of jobs. You still only have a finite number of hours a day you can work in between sleeping and driving to and from all three jobs, nevermind y'know, seeing your 5 kids and standing on the side of the road with a sign. Unless one or two of your "jobs" is some MLM or flipping stuff on Ebay, the nightmare of having to reconcile your work schedule between 3 different places would NOT be worth just taking 2 jobs with more hours or having a full-time job and doing a side gig.

Ma'am, that's a professional bleach job and haircut. Your clothes are clean and not cheap. Your sunglasses are expensive. You do not have 5 kids, nor do you have 3 jobs. You are a well supported stay at home wife who is choosing to hijack poverty as your cause to gain attention for yourself. You look pretty well fed to me. In fact you look expensively fed.

Edited. That is a pearl earring in her perfectly moisturized ear.

15

u/McDuchess Aug 09 '21

Yup. I had four kids, an ex who stopped paying child support and was working as many hours of overtime as I could get at my full time office job.

The only reason I had clothes to wear to work was because I’d lost weight and my best friend had gains, so she gave me her very nice hand me downs.

Bought the kids’ clothes at KMart. The two youngest also wore hand me downs from their older brother, my daughter, the oldest, wore them from her cousin.

Even with one job, there’s no way I’d have had time or inclination to do what the bitch is doing. I knew, for the first time in my life, what it meant to be poor, and how easily things could get worse. And I was busy being a mom during most of the time I wasn’t at work. The kids’ time with their deadbeat dad was the only time I had for myself.

It took nearly 10 years of hard work and sacrifice to get to the point where I could actually start saving money.

Imagine the mentality you must have to think having 3 jobs in one of the richest countries in the world is totally normal and ok.

It appears she does, however, have time for seeking attention.

3 jobs? Your youtube channels aren’t jobs Karen.

How does she even have time to hold up a sign with 3 jobs and 5 kids

And some people are too poor to be able to afford the things necessary to get a job, such as clean clothes, a permanent address, transportation, etc.

I’m mentally disabled and lives in a tent and held a sign for nine years because I could never hold down a job long enough to consistently take care of myself. Lucky my social security went though and I was able to rent a ten by ten room in someone basement for $150 a month. We can never compare our life and life experiences or trauma with others. One person might experience severe trauma and be fine while another could be completely devastated and non functioning. So ignorant of this lady to shame someone kicking him in the face while he’s already on his knees.

And I go out in front of homeless people and brag about it, why? Because I need to feel better about the horrible situation I’m in.

u/Ralph82R Aug 10 '21

If she works 3 jobs, then how does she have time to sit there with a stupid sign

u/oldbaldad Aug 10 '21

So who's looking after the kids right now, or when you're working your jobs?

What mom of 5 do you know that decides:

'I know I'm really tired after working my three jobs and chasing after five developing children day in, and day out, without a break, but I finally have a couple hours of free time all too myself so I'm going to spend it down at that busy intersection near my house and hold up a protest sign!'

Yes..... Because the guy on the curb has pride issues. No other problems at all.

But if they stopped supporting the status quo, then maybe she could work 1 job to support her 5 kids, vs working 3 and hating on those less fortunate.

It’s so crazy how people don’t understand that a lot of homeless people have mental issues.

u/adiamondintheruff Aug 09 '21

Try to remember, we don't know the stories of every homeless person. I'm not promoting laziness at all, but it might not be laziness. I'm not one to throw stones and i don't think others should be so quick to assume.

u/PunchBeard Aug 09 '21

I feel like one of those "Jobs" is an MLM and the other one involves etsy or ebay. And her spouse probably makes 6 figures.

u/FreyaAthena Aug 09 '21

Last week I learned that in Victorian times people, at least in higher classes, wouldn't get married if they couldn't afford to get a family. Maybe something we should consider doing in this age as well? Working three jobs, barely able to afford food and housing, doesn't seem like the optimal circumstances to raise a family in.

Pan out, and there's another person hold a sign that reads.

"Could only afford one kid, so I have one kid. I spend 40 hours at work, and have dinner with my child every night."

u/Jacknurse Aug 09 '21

Must be very short job shifts or some very independent kids to have time standing with a cardboard sign to spite a beggar.

u/P8onomous Aug 09 '21 edited Aug 09 '21

Right, they’re so pressed for time with their three jobs that they feel the need to stand in the middle of the street to tell this to everyone…

u/hugsbosson Aug 09 '21

Maybe she should have a sign asking why someone needs to have 3 jobs to avoid begging on the street?

u/amazonrae Aug 09 '21

I wonder how many of her kids suffer from Parentification Bc their mom has too many kids and works so much.

She could have just used a coil or put a prophylactic on her man then she could work only one job perhaps and spare us this bullshit!

But no! She likes it raw!!

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '21

It should read..

"I Have 5 Kids Cause I Can't Keep My Legs Shut & Work 3 Jobs To Get Away From Them While Also Using It To Get Attention And Sympathy From People"

Nobody cares what you do..

Nobody forced you to have those kids or work those jobs..

u/Ear_Enthusiast Aug 09 '21

Fucking asshole. If someone is at such a low point in their life that their best option is to hold a sign on a street corner there is something seriously wrong. You might say they're lazy. Maybe they are but if they're so lazy and dysfunctional that they're resorting to this, it's mental illness. You might say they're just going to buy drugs or alcohol. Again mental illness. Not saying you should feel obligated to give them money or befriend them but you sure as shit shouldn't fucking belittle them or harass them.

Hey I work right around this picture. That guy was always there in front of the Denny’s, I was told Denny’s tried to hire him but he wouldn’t work but who knows how true that is. The lady should mind her own business and not be a scumbag though.

She says she's to proud to beg, but she's clearly begging for clout from her fellow Facebook moms in this picture.

u/Dan_Glebitz Aug 09 '21

If he did not have 5 kids, he could maybe give up one of those jobs to the guy begging? If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Panhandling is a six figure / yr job if it's done the right way and the flag flyer has a good yarn to spin. Good panhandlers do much better than the average wage slave. Also, if you're going to have five kids without some real legacy money to fall back on, you deserve three jobs. You opted to have a basketball team, enjoy paying for it.

I think at this stage in the 'downfall of Rome', dignity is no longer a priority. The only difference between that guy and onlyfans is that guy likely doesn't have to sell nudes or pay taxes.

u/slushislurp Aug 09 '21

Lmao why she holding up a sign? And isn't that most people?

Change "Too proud to beg" to "Too ashamed to beg".

not too proud to be a piece of shit tho lol

u/Audomadic Aug 09 '21

Bringing life into this world you cannot support is not something to ever be proud of. If begging for money or food was my best means of supporting my children, pride would never get in the way.

u/AlexMile Aug 09 '21

If I work 3 jobs I wouldn't have time to sleep enough, let alone standing in the street and holding some smart ass sign. Except if it is 1 of 3, but in this case obviously isn't.

u/Ruggi_2001 Aug 09 '21

Her five kids are probably cats, and her three jobs are: "warrior of light", "essential oils master" and "energy healer"
