It sounds like Jackie and her sister got into an argument because Jackie wasn’t working, but the house was messy. And it sounds like maybe her sister was working, and expected Jackie to clean and take care of the house. But Jackie’s youngest son looks really young, and it makes me wonder if she was experiencing depression and just overwhelmed. It sounds like the argument was really explosive and got out of hand.

If you "love your kids" you get your life in order first before even having kids. Seems like she's been an irresponsible person her entire life and is only living in the homeless shelter because her sister kicked her out of the apartment that she (her sister) was paying for while according to her own words she wasn't working.

I’m sorry but I don’t believe we are getting the entire story with this woman. She seems to be delusional if she thinks there is something wrong with the father not wanting her to see her child. He’s the one with full custody and a stable environment. She also seems to have an attitude if she’s not able to live peacefully with her own family. She also needs to leave her own kids out of her adult situations. Seeing her treat her daughter as her own therapist is frustrating, and she will be bitter about this when she gets older. I should know, since both of my parents treated me the same way when I was younger.

@Emm325 Месяц назад

100 percent…calling in the “wellness check”?!? Is she SERIOUS?!?? She DOESNT HAVE CUSTODY, and THANK GOD, she only wants to bring chaos and destruction into that kids world, and the way she puts all that emotional burden onto her kids is DISGUSTING. Many of us grow up w crappy parents, NEWS ALERT, these moms seem to think they are the ONLY ones w problems in like, and fail to see the correlation between their ACTIONS and the CONSEQUENCES….poor kids of hers, they haven’t had any better an upbringing than she did, ESPECIALLY with the morbid obesity, she’s clearly over feeding them to get them to “leave her alone” that’s HORRIBLE parenting, nobody is changing my mind, she also is raising them to be entitled and become upset with disappointing circumstances (such as the apartment situation) why is she even telling them they’re going to have one when it’s a CHANCE only?

Poor damn a kid should never be worried about where to sleep what to eat

@elizabethgraham4928 Месяц назад

There's more to the story than a argument. They probably talked to her multiple times about issues around the home and she could not cRe less until they put her out.

Don't give up you could have chosen to abandon your children and chosen a very dark path. Life is a journey full of ups and downs bad times don't last. ❤❤❤

If you are staying with someone while trying to find work. 1. You better be up before anyone in the house. Not sleeping all day. 2. clean up WHATEVER IS OUT OF PLACE OR TRASH THAT NEEDS TAKEN OUT WITHOUT BEING ASKED.

Her living space might be small for 3 people. But she could at least keep it tidy. My goodness 😮.

I take my hat off to this young mum. Life throws us so many curve balls and she's been dealt some fucked up ones. But her heart and priorities are in the right place. Time will change her living situation and her family will flourish when she gets there. But only coz she's got her head switched on now and knows what she wants for her kids and herself. 19 years ago, I myself was in a similar situation with my toddler boys. It's hard but it gets better. With alittle support at the start all falls into place, aslong as you have that positive attitude.

She seems lazy. The shelter room was messy, so I can only imagine the state of the house she was sharing with her mother and sister, after a long day at work nobody wants to come home to find somebody else’s mess.

She can clean up after herself and be more humble..Why can't she work full time?

Jackie, I’m praying for you. Living with your mom and your sister is not really a sustainable situation. This will make you stronger even though it seems hard now as you get better and stronger you become more capable of improving your situation. You are doing the right thing.Good luck kid.

I work for a state agency that help homeless. I know I don’t know what they have gone though, but I irritates me each time they complain about the food, the bed, they complain how little the gov. Gave them money for food, etc and make this an excuse not to stay in shelter but out of the street then harried the Government to give them free housing or apartment rental. Then some also request car or transportation allowance, or bills payment because they are behind months of rent of apt, electric or water.. jeezzzz

A man who leaves his seed and does not water it IS NOT A Man And I’m tired of hearing about being a Mom! What exactly is that? Got children then you’re a MOM! Now BE, & stop aspiring to be that tv chic WHO DOES NOT EXIST ! When u live w others you must pitch in, being messy in her “small” space says she’s disorganized and needs help. I would not have put those babies out but I damn sure would have a problem w her sleeping & the house is a mess & I been out busting rocks. She needs to hear herself on video

It's easy to judge when you have never been in that situation. Her situation is hers and no matter how she got there she is trying. I have been in her shoes so I understand if it doesn't break you it makes you a stronger person. I'm 68 years old and all that unhappiness has long been gone but I understand and feel when people go through things in life. Life sometimes doesn't work out like you want. Praying for her and anyone going through this in life.

She is very lucky because 100% of the time around the state of Delaware if you're not of a certain color they automatically take your kids and put you out on the streets and refuse to help you, if you're of that specific skin color you're giving an apartment almost immediately or they put you up in a nice hotel with in 24 hours,give you gift cards and everything like that and treated like royalty!

I want a 100% stand behind my comment that she should not have given her little boy away. I don't care if it was to his father and then expect to have that child into her life. No that is not happening...Obviously the father is cutting her out of their life. Plenty of single parents have more than 3 kids. ..and don't give any away.

@Joce123 Месяц назад

They have daycares at those shelters so she could have worked and left her child and a daycare and not abandon him.

Don't forget to thank the staff serving you that delicious food in the cafeteria that's an awesome place to be. I'm sure many people would wish to be in that shelter it looks very nice. Just show a little more gratitude because many people have it way worse. Like living in a hotel

@moniinnola Месяц назад

Exactly! These people are weird who commented berating her! Its not even her fault her life was unstable. She had a cracked head mother who left her at FIVE years old to babysit another baby...WTF. That didn't set this poor girl up for a healthy life at all and of course she looked for an outlet and had kids. But thank God she didn't turn to drugs like her mom. So I was hella upset to see her mom all cozy in a house when she's the one who made her kids life emotionally, mentally, financially unstable! It should of been the mom in a shelter paying back her sins and the siblings should of worked it put to be each others ride or die. And she was probably depressed and didn't want to work or clean....EVERY single person here has felt that...but when you have a hard life from a baby at 5 having to banysit..the bounce back is harder than for most other people.

Please help your children to under that this place is safe, and they are not sleeping on the streets. There are a lot of kids who are less fortunate and your kids don’t appear to know the sense of value. The food is free and they are receiving a hot meal. You need to stay focused and remember to be responsible so that they will be responsible so that when you get a new place you can keep it clean; which is what got you in this situation from what it sounds like. Not being stable is not a good thing. Please try to get it together for the baby whom is being cared for by his father. The father could take him away as he feels that you are not a fit parent. This is your time to push towards greatness. Bless you!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
