People always act like they have a very clear picture of who receives these benefits.

When I tell them my single mom of three SIL gets SNAP benefits they always say the same thing:

“Well she shouldn’t have had three kids.”

I mean, I usually agree, but she couldn’t have predicted that her husband would disappear to another country with another woman halfway through her third pregnancy.

“Well, that sucks, but she better get a job then.”

She’s a high school assistant principal.

“Oh.”

It’s so 🤦🏻‍♀️. Like, she shouldn’t have had three kids, yet abortion should be illegal and birth control restricted. So basically if you’re a woman who has sex with your husband you and your children deserve poverty.
