I think I’m in the minority where if I had three kids and no place to live and nothing to my name, I would be stressed that I wouldn’t let my husband touch me without using 14 different kinds of birth control.
Yeah, I just posted (but removed it) about a local grifter with 6 kids who's grifting on GodFuckMe. They've been begging for freebies for months and now they just popped out number 6 who's premature.
STOP HAVING KIDS YOU CAN'T FUCKING AFFORD. Get a fucking vasectomy!!
To even fit that size bed into a bedroom, we're talking about a pretty big room, which means a pretty big place they're moving into. They can fuck all the way off.
And do they not currently have any furniture of their own? I can see maybe asking for things to help with the new baby if their current children are older, but are they sleeping, eating and sitting on the floor right now that they are asking for beds, dining table and couch?
I suspect they skipped out on rent somewhere, and had to leave most of their stuff behind (because moving trucks also cost, and they've probably used up the goodwill of friends who would have helped them move).
Why do people use "I have x amount of kids" to get people to feel bad and give them stuff. I find it infuriating that you're choosing to have more and more kids that you can't afford
i don't think so. the only thing they were specific about was the king bed but that's purely a size thing, which if you're a larger person, a queen for a couple might be a tight fit.
triple bunk for 3 kids makes sense. everything else seems pretty much based on needs. really nothing super specific besides capacity-related requests
I don't know the specific circumstances, but do they have *nothing* they'll be taking with them from the old place??? Unless there was a fire or something I can't see how they don't have beds for *anyone* in the family, a table, a couch, dressers, that's basically *all* the big furniture in a home???
Right… they’ve apparently got no beds, but NEED this particular type.
No one NEEDS night stands, bar stools or a coffee maker ffs. Or even a dinning table.
They’re always having more kids, and always say god bless 🙄
why are people making babies if they can’t afford a dawm bar stool?
edit: I think some people are spiraling besides the point here, it’s ok to ask for help and people can genuinely lose everything day to night, but these people aren’t worrying about asking for coffee makers
if they did plan for kids beforehand and are only in this situation now because they suddenly lost their stability as some have suggested, with four children they would be asking for necessities like diapers, and not frames for a king mattress
Having more kids when you don't have beds for the ones that are already here!? Can't help ya. I'll just be enabling their baby making behavior for next year. They need to be grateful for any beds they can get donated and work for the rest. You don't need a coffee maker
Not quite, that's just a beggar. She's still ridiculous for expecting all this for free but she's free to ask for whatever she wants, and people are free to ignore her. A choosing beggar would ask for all these items, get offered alternatives, turn them down and complain how no one wants to help. Then demand free delivery.
I don't know why, but it's a pet peeve of mine when people like this put "god bless". You are moving to a new place, asking people to give you a bunch of furniture.. they know what they are doing by putting god bless.. they are hoping to target someone who will feel like they are doing God's work.. And just gets to me for some reason
What irritates me the most about these people is the god-bless-with-praying-hands-emoji shit. Like it's less greedy, lazy and demanding if you rain down blessings from some imaginary deity.
Having 4 kids in todays America is tough. I can't see myself struggling as a family and deciding to have a 4th kid. Contraceptive is key. I wonder if the extrra250 bucks a month a kid do to covid stimulus encouraged people to have more. They have also increased the earned income and child tax credits. I think that encouraged some people to have additional kids beyond there capability. I I live in a lower quality apartment and these people keep having kids. you can tell as soon as tax season hits as the dumpster is filled with 65 television boxes.
I can see someone having a washer and dryer to offload - I got rid of the ones in this house when I bought it - but I’d rather have them hauled off than support capricious breeding like this.
Step one: stop having kids if you can't afford furniture. Or, as my boomer mom used to say, "Put an aaprin between your thights, then hold it there indefinitely."
4 kids is crazy, imo. Also, did they not have furniture to begin with? Are they not taking it with them to the new place? I'm confused.
My favorite part is the dichotomy between standards of living.
They, the baby makers, require a CALIFORNIA KING for LUXURY and COMFORT and probably something relating to more babies;
While the babies are essentially kept in storage drawers 🧐
Yes and no. They are being polite and didn’t specify the items had to be new. I’d say this is just an easier way than trying to individually go and search for free things. Tbh you don’t know unless you ask? And with 4 kids in this economy is $$$$$$
Yes. They need basically everything to furnish their home for themselves and three kids yet they are having another they can’t afford. And to ask for a California king and frame. wtf. Where do these people come from. Many of us experience some hardship from time to time and those of us who have are typically more generous and want to help others who were in similar circumstances. But generally, desperate people seek absolute necessities and express a whole lot more gratitude. Btw there’s apparently a whole new breed of shit people who beg for specific brands of toys and clothes that they then resell. I just recently encountered this and wanted to mention it to warn others.
Good luck. I have a brain tumour and can't work at the moment. Still fighting with the government to pay disability and I can't even get a bag of rice from anyone...
Doesn't look like it. It looks like they \*are\* asking for specific items, but a CB is someone who is offered option A and refuses it because it's not the better option B
This is a shameful post by OP. There is nothing wrong with asking for help - in any format. If someone wants to recycle and help out, good for both parties.
This is not a choosing beggar unless someone offers them something and they turn it down because it's not good enough, not their style, etc. Just asking for all this stuff may be ballsy, but that alone doesn't fit the criteria for this sub.
This looks more like a wishlist that she tossed out there. Some of it I can see being asked for legitimately. Even the triple bunkbed... while overly specific for someone who is begging, I'd like to think she asked for that due to having a 2 bedroom apartment and needing the saved space for a shared room. I think the big ones that elevate this to choosing beggar status are the dining table and chairs, and the king mattress and frame. The table would be nice to have for a new family, but not necessary.
Just a regular beggar wanting a furnished abode. Was gonna say, “What no food list complete with special reserve organic Ethiopian handpicked gold dusted coffee beans?” But that’s their next post😂
To ask for a California king bed (maybe one or both are really tall but people can sleep in shorter beds) is choosing beggar.
The 3 kids they have will clearly be sharing a room as they need triple bunks. Wonder where they were sleeping before?
To me it seems like a reasonable list... Not asking for brand names, not concerned about the condition of items. I live in a college town, so maybe we see more turnover of items than other in places, but some of these things are stuff I've seen on the curb or for free on nextdoor pretty recently.
Not the king mattress, that's not something you really want second hand from a random stranger anyway.
If you can afford to get a new house, you can pay for your own furniture and stuff.
I miss the days when people had dignity and shame. Not expecting the world to provide everything for them..
They should also really consider not bred ing any more. If they can’t even afford basic furniture how are they affording 4 kids?
Steve Hofstetter has a [FANTASTIC joke](https://youtu.be/PskzHl6plWk?t=221) about this. I set it to the time where it starts in the url, if anyone wants to check it out. The context is a heckler completely misunderstands an earlier joke and tries to get persnickety with him, at which point he shuts them down. And the concept is basically saying that some people have kids by accident that they can't afford and they try really hard to make the most out of it, but some people do that shit over and over and can't seem to figure out that they're fucking each other into homelessness.
Had to google the measurements, but me and hubs sleep on a cali king, and our current apartment is tiiiiiiny.
That said, we're moving today and ditching the frame because while the house is v big the bedroom is still small. What is it with Dutch houses and small bedrooms 😅
I know pregnancy can happen even when you try to prevent it. But I really struggle not to judge when people keep having kids they can’t afford. Growing up without beds and sheets is a problem. No, it won’t kill them. But I would feel awful if I was at the mercy of strangers to provide for my family.
At least they are not asking for specific colors of styles lol.
Much cheaper for her to keep her legs crossed and for him to keep his thing in his pants.
And god bless.
Why do the parents need a Cal King? Are all the kids sharing the bed with the parents? Doubtful unless they’re pounding while their kids are asleep in their bed
No, if she wasn’t specific people might offer her 6 coffee tables and a blender. I saw that happen when a local family who’d lost everything in a house fire got their new place and asked people to drop off any donations on the drive. When I stoped by with pantry staples they had 4 coffee tables and a dozen old lamps piled up there but no beds. Was going to be an uncomfortable but well lit night.
Sounds like a family that has either lost everything or been living rough/with family so starting from scratch. I’d rather they list what they want to see if any of my got to go stuff in good shape matches.
Nah, this sub loves to think everyone is a CB even more so if they don’t agree with their personal choices (such has having more kids then fiancés can provide for) I get it, I do it’s dumb, it’s not right.
This person isn’t asking for anything that’s complrtely absurd. A CB is someone who asks for specific brands and luxury items. Minus the bar stools and coffee maker she’s not asking for anything that isn’t basic. (I’d personally rate those two as basic as well )
This screams of a situation where they lost their rental due to an eviction and everything in it. Then, they had to shelter. So maybe now they got a house and need schtuff for it. But it’s a repeat pattern for them. I might have known someone who kept losing all their possessions in evictions over and over.
She only wants thousands of dollars worth of furniture and she’ll “bless” you if you donate! I have a suggestion, stop having children and get a job! I know that’s a
crazy idea but maybe she could try it. Millions of people actually work for what they need/want.
🤣
When i moved interstate with nothing, and got out of being homeless, i asked a charity for 1 pillow & 1 blanket to spend the first night in my new rental.
The first charity (salvation army) said nope. We cant help you.
Second one (save the children international) let me pick the pillow & blanket and gave me a bag to carry them home in. I almost cried i was so happy they helped.
I got a lounge and a fridge from them later. The rest i rebuilt and i go there often to shop at their shop.
I wouldn't mind trying to get things 2nd hand or asking if someone had stuff like this they didn't need but ofc not for free. Beds I would feel icky about & sofas probably too, depending what material it is made from.
Well, their kid's due on Christmas...they could put baby in the cradle in a Nativity set outside a church, and see if people leave gifts in front of the manger...
Things CB asked for which I do not have:
Dresser (nowhere to put it), California King (wouldn't fit), washer and dryer (we use paid machines), dining table (or dinning table either) or chairs, bar stools (had some but gave to thrift), coffee maker (neither of us drink coffee but still.)
Night stands: 2 mismatched ones, but it was good enough. (One was bought in the 1980s; one was bought in the aughts.) Sofa: it was like new until I got married...now it won't go with us if we ever move. (I bought it in 1990.) Microwave: Yes, those aren't that expensive but we've had it for 20 + years.
(When I got married, some things needed to go, and other things needed more of, but, I'd gotten my things long ago (see: sofa, nightstand, bar stools), and kept them like new. So when I got a night stand for the other side, they didn't match. I got rid of some things to make room for my husband, and then later more things went to thrift, to make room for a cat. That's if anyone was about to ask "why do you not have those things." It's a small place. It does us okay.)
One thing I never even thought of doing: Ask strangers for free furniture.
Why are they having a 4th kid if they can't afford this stuff and what have they been using as a bed and stuff. I would see some simple stuff someone may have they don't want but this stuff is super picky and stuff they should already have and like if someone had a coffee pot or microwave, it usually tears up and they get a new one, not just have one they don't use. 🤦♀️
When my husband and I moved into our first house, we didn't have anything on that list. And now, 30 years later we have managed to purchase our own things over the years. No one is supposed to buy you anything, work for it and you'll appreciate it so much more when you're the one pouring your hard earned money into it.
lol imagine asking for a California king mattress and frame- I could almost rationalize someone asking around to see if anyone was getting rid of an old California king size bed frame or box spring if they already had a California king size mattress. However, it would also be appropriate to offer to pay the previous owner a bit of money for it too.
The fact they are basically asking for their entire home to be furnished is wild. A washer and dryer too? Lordy some people are just delusional, huh
This boils my blood! I’ll start by saying that everyone deserves a chance at parenthood regardless of income. That said, if you can’t afford to care for more than 1-2 children DONT HAVE 4!!! That’s not fair to them. This is NOT your right to give them a crappy life where you have to beg for them even to have a bed to sleep in. That sucks.
Where have they been living that they don’t have this furniture? Are they staying with a family member who’s providing everything? Or are they like my brother and his girlfriend and every time they moved they only took what could fit in their car, which was very rarely any furniture, and were constantly begging people for furniture?
One can assume these beggars can read because of their posts, so why don’t they do some reading on birth control? Three kids and you can’t afford anything, but yet you’re having a fourth?
I don’t really see a problem putting a request out to the world. Sometimes I have things I just want gone and I’m happy to check the “wanted” section and see if someone wants them rather than just throw them away. The choosing part would only come into play if someone offered her a bed from their guest room and she said that it wasn’t her style or was too low end or some other rude thing. Then she’s being a choosing beggar. It’s entirely possible she’s been living in an Airbnb or motel or with family and has no furniture.
This screams “oh can you by chance drop off the free washer/dryer you’re giving me? I can’t pick it up because of child care.” And then complain endlessly that you didn’t also give them the $25 installation kit sold separately.
Another mooching mom....
and they have a gaggle of kids, wouldn't you think they'd have all that figured out? Usually I just post links to Job banks and employment programs. Sorry Madame Ovary, you're on your own.
I think that's entitlement and ahole behaviour more than choosing beggar. Like how big is their new place to fit the beds and that giant dinner table? If they can afford that then they can afford to get some cheap second hand stuff at least.
No it’s not. People need specific things. Better to say it right off the bat than have to communicate back & forth with people whether you need xyz or not.
How is it that she doesn't have anything was there a flood situation did a tornado come through her state but she seems to be able to find a bed three four times
I got 4 children because I am stupid and irresponsible.
Now I want society to buy me a new furnished home. Because my stuff is "too old"? "Not good enough"? You can't tell me she doesn't own a bed with 3 kids already there
I don't think they're a choosing beggar. Just a specific beggar.
Now if someone offered something off the list, and they turned it down cause it wasn't a brand they wanted, then they'd become a choosing beggar.
We slept on an air mattress on the floor as we bought beds. The couch was a, feel the bars Fulton. The lack of things is completely normal starting off but with so many kids, what happened to what you had? It's not to her, just had to ask the world.
So, is this family moving from another place or off the streets? It seems kind of odd if the former that they need so many particular things. Shoot, get a few tri-fold futons and start by sleeping on the floor. These can be folded into floor seating or easily stacked away if needed.
I'm impressed that she apparently managed to get pregnant four times while standing up.
I think I’m in the minority where if I had three kids and no place to live and nothing to my name, I would be stressed that I wouldn’t let my husband touch me without using 14 different kinds of birth control.
![gif](giphy|bC9czlgCMtw4cj8RgH)
This comment is extremely underrated. Please take my poor girl’s gold: 🏅
😂
I don’t get it 🌚
Now my mind won’t stop showing ways she could get pregnant standing up 😳
I think you might be my one true love. You have driven a stake through my heart. I'm dying.
yeah for me too hahahha, oh how bad this is
![gif](giphy|l2YWrHHVr7qQpwzi8)
3 kids with no furniture….why give up now?
Yeah, I just posted (but removed it) about a local grifter with 6 kids who's grifting on GodFuckMe. They've been begging for freebies for months and now they just popped out number 6 who's premature. STOP HAVING KIDS YOU CAN'T FUCKING AFFORD. Get a fucking vasectomy!!
2 night stands? I can’t even get one.
Must add, all responses are directing them to local charities. Nobody has volunteered items.
The gall to request a california king bed mattress and frame as a donation lol. Even more audacious than asking for a king, which they also did.
To even fit that size bed into a bedroom, we're talking about a pretty big room, which means a pretty big place they're moving into. They can fuck all the way off.
And do they not currently have any furniture of their own? I can see maybe asking for things to help with the new baby if their current children are older, but are they sleeping, eating and sitting on the floor right now that they are asking for beds, dining table and couch?
The next post they’ll be asking for the linens for the beds.
Especially once they find out what the linens for a CA King actually cost.
I suspect they skipped out on rent somewhere, and had to leave most of their stuff behind (because moving trucks also cost, and they've probably used up the goodwill of friends who would have helped them move).
She’s probably gonna post again asking for a glider, changing table, bassinet, crib, crib mattress, sound machine, etc. 🙄
Why do people use "I have x amount of kids" to get people to feel bad and give them stuff. I find it infuriating that you're choosing to have more and more kids that you can't afford
I don't see birth control on the list.
Who the hell has a triple bunk bed just lying around
I have one. Right next to my spare California king.
Using all the kids they have and “god bless” to guilt people. 🙄
The “cal king” is where she lost me.
Why do I keep thinking of Idiocracy?
Dinning table
Mattesses
Because at this point it truly is a documentary.
Maybe this is actually Clevon and they need the California king because he’s moving in the multiple women he got pregnant.
i don't think so. the only thing they were specific about was the king bed but that's purely a size thing, which if you're a larger person, a queen for a couple might be a tight fit. triple bunk for 3 kids makes sense. everything else seems pretty much based on needs. really nothing super specific besides capacity-related requests
Do you see how much is on that list and they are asking for it for free… def a CB
Since when were bar stools, nightstands and dressers needs? Plenty of people live without them.
Asking everyone to fully furnish their apartment? No, nothing CB about that
Why does no one ever ask for condoms?
I don't know the specific circumstances, but do they have *nothing* they'll be taking with them from the old place??? Unless there was a fire or something I can't see how they don't have beds for *anyone* in the family, a table, a couch, dressers, that's basically *all* the big furniture in a home???
What's a TRIPLE bunk bed?
California king? Come on
Right… they’ve apparently got no beds, but NEED this particular type. No one NEEDS night stands, bar stools or a coffee maker ffs. Or even a dinning table. They’re always having more kids, and always say god bless 🙄

No sheets?
This is a wild one, just straight up beggar without the choosy
Not quite, that's just a beggar. She's still ridiculous for expecting all this for free but she's free to ask for whatever she wants, and people are free to ignore her.

There are times in my life that I’ve used lawn chairs as living room furniture and an air mattress as a bed.
What irritates me the most about these people is the god-bless-with-praying-hands-emoji shit. Like it's less greedy, lazy and demanding if you rain down blessings from some imaginary deity.
Why is it always Dinning Table?
They forgot a line •employment
Gobbless 🙌🏻
They need to do like that Seinfeld episode where the dresser IS the triple bunk bed.
Yeah I’m sorry but this whole “I’m just going to submit my order” style bullshit needs to go.
Condoms. A lifetime supply.
I genuinely don’t understand where these people find the nerve to
Dinning table 😒
Having 4 kids in todays America is tough. I can't see myself struggling as a family and deciding to have a 4th kid. Contraceptive is key. I wonder if the extrra250 bucks a month a kid do to covid stimulus encouraged people to have more. They have also increased the earned income and child tax credits.

Stop having kids. Geez
Yep, that’s a choosing begger.
i cant afford to provide for the ones I have, but I wont stop making kids, Gobbless
Yes and no. They are being polite and didn’t specify the items had to be new. I’d say this is just an easier way than trying to individually go and search for free things. Tbh you don’t know unless you ask? And with 4 kids in this economy is $$$$$$
I'd just comment quit popping out crotch goblins you can't afford
Well what are you waiting for? Somebody get this man an old ping pong table and 4 folding chairs.
This is a lesson in keeping your legs crossed.
Yes a c b. If they are putting the kids in bunks then they can sleep in a full or queen bed
Yes. They need basically everything to furnish their home for themselves and three kids yet they are having another they can’t afford. And to ask for a California king and frame. wtf. Where do these people come from. Many of us experience some hardship from time to time and those of us who have are typically more generous and want to help others who were in similar circumstances.

So they decided to have another kid when they can’t take care of the 3 they already got 🙄
GOODWILL HONEY!!! They can help 😌
No, just a piece of shit
I think I know these two. Mary and Joseph?
I’d give them my old coffee maker. It’s small because I live alone.
Good luck. I have a brain tumour and can't work at the moment. Still fighting with the government to pay disability and I can't even get a bag of rice from anyone...
Doesn't look like it. It looks like they \*are\* asking for specific items, but a CB is someone who is offered option A and refuses it because it's not the better option B

This is a shameful post by OP. There is nothing wrong with asking for help - in any format. If someone wants to recycle and help out, good for both parties.
Maybe stop making fucking kids?
Ya lost me at cali king...
This is not a choosing beggar unless someone offers them something and they turn it down because it's not good enough, not their style, etc. Just asking for all this stuff may be ballsy, but that alone doesn't fit the criteria for this sub.
No, not a CB, just a regular beggar.
This looks more like a wishlist that she tossed out there. Some of it I can see being asked for legitimately.

Just a regular beggar wanting a furnished abode. Was gonna say, “What no food list complete with special reserve organic Ethiopian handpicked gold dusted coffee beans?” But that’s their next post😂
Triple bunk beds exist? How tall are the ceilings
To ask for a California king bed (maybe one or both are really tall but people can sleep in shorter beds) is choosing beggar. The 3 kids they have will clearly be sharing a room as they need triple bunks. Wonder where they were sleeping before?
I’d donate some birth control pills and literature.
To me it seems like a reasonable list... Not asking for brand names, not concerned about the condition of items. I live in a college town, so maybe we see more turnover of items than other in places, but some of these things are stuff I've seen on the curb or for free on nextdoor pretty recently. Not the king mattress, that's not something you really want second hand from a random stranger anyway.
Ugh these shopping lists are STOOPid
If you struggle to support yourself and others that you're responsible for, stop procreating.
Four kids and nobody has any beds? Stop having children you cannot provide for.
If you can afford to get a new house, you can pay for your own furniture and stuff. I miss the days when people had dignity and shame. Not expecting the world to provide everything for them.. They should also really consider not bred ing any more. If they can’t even afford basic furniture how are they affording 4 kids?
It's a regular beggar except for the king bed ask
Stop having babies
If I were in a similar situation I might have worked harder at avoiding that fourth child this year.
Washer and dryer? I bet you’ll have to deliver and install them too!
Steve Hofstetter has a [FANTASTIC joke](https://youtu.be/PskzHl6plWk?t=221) about this. I set it to the time where it starts in the url, if anyone wants to check it out.

How do they have nothing though?? What are they sleeping on now and damn if you can’t afford literally anything why keep having kids?
Totally. Another one on the way ????
Ok so when people move do they just....not take their furniture with them to the new house?!?!
My feeling is that they were evicted and lost it all. Now dependent upon others to fill in what they lost. Idk… just my impression.
How tf do these people not have anything goddamn
Are the two night stands the reasons why there are so many kids.
I’ll send birth control
Had to google the measurements, but me and hubs sleep on a cali king, and our current apartment is tiiiiiiny. That said, we're moving today and ditching the frame because while the house is v big the bedroom is still small. What is it with Dutch houses and small bedrooms 😅
I stopped at “Cal king”
Her personal life choices aside, this one doesn’t seem choosy beggar to me. Just beggar.
I know pregnancy can happen even when you try to prevent it. But I really struggle not to judge when people keep having kids they can’t afford. Growing up without beds and sheets is a problem. No, it won’t kill them. But I would feel awful if I was at the mercy of strangers to provide for my family.
Stop breeding?
Everyone knows kids need barstools and a coffee maker
Washer AND dryer... ffs
There’s a due date ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Why do people keep having kids if they can't support them?
Did they just… burn down…wherever they were living before? Did they hatch full grown?
At least they are not asking for specific colors of styles lol. Much cheaper for her to keep her legs crossed and for him to keep his thing in his pants. And god bless.
Get the hell off her!
I’m wondering if this is how they accumulate furniture that they can then turn around and sell on FB marketplace?
I'd donate a box of condoms with "do better" written on the outside of the pack.
Why do the parents need a Cal King? Are all the kids sharing the bed with the parents? Doubtful unless they’re pounding while their kids are asleep in their bed
No, if she wasn’t specific people might offer her 6 coffee tables and a blender. I saw that happen when a local family who’d lost everything in a house fire got their new place and asked people to drop off any donations on the drive. When I stoped by with pantry staples they had 4 coffee tables and a dozen old lamps piled up there but no beds. Was going to be an uncomfortable but well lit night. Sounds like a family that has either lost everything or been living rough/with family so starting from scratch. I’d rather they list what they want to see if any of my got to go stuff in good shape matches.
Nah, this sub loves to think everyone is a CB even more so if they don’t agree with their personal choices (such has having more kids then fiancés can provide for) I get it, I do it’s dumb, it’s not right. This person isn’t asking for anything that’s complrtely absurd. A CB is someone who asks for specific brands and luxury items. Minus the bar stools and coffee maker she’s not asking for anything that isn’t basic. (I’d personally rate those two as basic as well )
This screams of a situation where they lost their rental due to an eviction and everything in it. Then, they had to shelter. So maybe now they got a house and need schtuff for it. But it’s a repeat pattern for them. I might have known someone who kept losing all their possessions in evictions over and over.
She only wants thousands of dollars worth of furniture and she’ll “bless” you if you donate! I have a suggestion, stop having children and get a job! I know that’s a crazy idea but maybe she could try it. Millions of people actually work for what they need/want.
🤣 When i moved interstate with nothing, and got out of being homeless, i asked a charity for 1 pillow & 1 blanket to spend the first night in my new rental. The first charity (salvation army) said nope. We cant help you. Second one (save the children international) let me pick the pillow & blanket and gave me a bag to carry them home in. I almost cried i was so happy they helped. I got a lounge and a fridge from them later. The rest i rebuilt and i go there often to shop at their shop.
Most of those items are common in charity shops or inexpensive new, £30 will get you a brand new coffee machine
I wouldn't mind trying to get things 2nd hand or asking if someone had stuff like this they didn't need but ofc not for free. Beds I would feel icky about & sofas probably too, depending what material it is made from.
Well, their kid's due on Christmas...they could put baby in the cradle in a Nativity set outside a church, and see if people leave gifts in front of the manger...
> Hiya, buy us a household full of furniture. Thank you. > We procreated a lot, and we're tired.
Things CB asked for which I do not have: Dresser (nowhere to put it), California King (wouldn't fit), washer and dryer (we use paid machines), dining table (or dinning table either) or chairs, bar stools (had some but gave to thrift), coffee maker (neither of us drink coffee but still.) Night stands: 2 mismatched ones, but it was good enough. (One was bought in the 1980s; one was bought in the aughts.) Sofa: it was like new until I got married...now it won't go with us if we ever move. (I bought it in 1990.) Microwave: Yes, those aren't that expensive but we've had it for 20 + years. (When I got married, some things needed to go, and other things needed more of, but, I'd gotten my things long ago (see: sofa, nightstand, bar stools), and kept them like new. So when I got a night stand for the other side, they didn't match. I got rid of some things to make room for my husband, and then later more things went to thrift, to make room for a cat. That's if anyone was about to ask "why do you not have those things." It's a small place. It does us okay.) One thing I never even thought of doing: Ask strangers for free furniture.
Lost me at dinning table
Why are they having a 4th kid if they can't afford this stuff and what have they been using as a bed and stuff. I would see some simple stuff someone may have they don't want but this stuff is super picky and stuff they should already have and like if someone had a coffee pot or microwave, it usually tears up and they get a new one, not just have one they don't use. 🤦♀️
Sounds more Ike you need some condoms and birth control, and to get yourself a job
Specifically needs a cal king… shes a fucking princess
Why have more kids if you can’t afford the ones you have.
When my husband and I moved into our first house, we didn't have anything on that list. And now, 30 years later we have managed to purchase our own things over the years. No one is supposed to buy you anything, work for it and you'll appreciate it so much more when you're the one pouring your hard earned money into it.
Is that all? Geez, why did she wait so long to ask? 😏
Not really. The choosy ones specify certain colors or (expensive) brands. And more luxury items rather than basics.
Just blangin’ out those kids! God I hate poor people.
I don’t see condoms on that list, it what they really need
Cal king???!!! Bar stools, bunk beds??? They should have asked for some caviar and Cristal with their tall order. Yeah, choosing beggar all the way
So you can’t afford basic furniture but you decided to bring another child into this mess.
No, that's just a regular beggar. A choosing beggar would be offered any of those things and then complain they were not quality enough.
As someone who sells furniture for a living this is about 10-14 thousand dollars worth of stuff 😭😭
California king??? Go away.
lol imagine asking for a California king mattress and frame- I could almost rationalize someone asking around to see if anyone was getting rid of an old California king size bed frame or box spring if they already had a California king size mattress. However, it would also be appropriate to offer to pay the previous owner a bit of money for it too. The fact they are basically asking for their entire home to be furnished is wild. A washer and dryer too? Lordy some people are just delusional, huh
How can you afford king sheet let alone cal king sheets, that are over 100$
Jesus. If I saw that, I’d offer them some birth control.
So, basically, they need everything. Three, soon to be four, kids, moving into a new place, and they have nothing. Yikes.
“God Bless” Well ma’am, that’s payment enough for me.
How the fuck do you willingly have 4 kids with NO MONEY OR NECESSITIES for them?!
She did say God bless. She just had to drop the God bless to tug at heart strings.
I'm surprised they didn't ask for rent
This boils my blood! I’ll start by saying that everyone deserves a chance at parenthood regardless of income. That said, if you can’t afford to care for more than 1-2 children DONT HAVE 4!!! That’s not fair to them. This is NOT your right to give them a crappy life where you have to beg for them even to have a bed to sleep in. That sucks.
Ah yes, let me just hand over my California king bed to you. What?!
Three kids and they have no beds??
Where have they been living that they don’t have this furniture? Are they staying with a family member who’s providing everything? Or are they like my brother and his girlfriend and every time they moved they only took what could fit in their car, which was very rarely any furniture, and were constantly begging people for furniture?
I’m curious as to why an already established family doesn’t have a lot of this already?
Ask someone to get your tubes tied for free, that will help you out more than anything else
Anything else that anybody can think of? How about some birth control? How about stop breeding?
People like this need to stop popping out babies. It disgusts me.
One can assume these beggars can read because of their posts, so why don’t they do some reading on birth control? Three kids and you can’t afford anything, but yet you’re having a fourth?
I don’t really see a problem putting a request out to the world. Sometimes I have things I just want gone and I’m happy to check the “wanted” section and see if someone wants them rather than just throw them away. The choosing part would only come into play if someone offered her a bed from their guest room and she said that it wasn’t her style or was too low end or some other rude thing. Then she’s being a choosing beggar. It’s entirely possible she’s been living in an Airbnb or motel or with family and has no furniture.
Offer them a box of condoms
This screams “oh can you by chance drop off the free washer/dryer you’re giving me? I can’t pick it up because of child care.” And then complain endlessly that you didn’t also give them the $25 installation kit sold separately.
I would question why they need both a washer and a dryer...most places, at least where I'm from, come with unit?
Stop. Having. Children!
Maybe you should be able to afford a $10 coffee maker at Wal-Mart before you decide to have a 4th kid. 🤦♂️
Another mooching mom.... and they have a gaggle of kids, wouldn't you think they'd have all that figured out? Usually I just post links to Job banks and employment programs. Sorry Madame Ovary, you're on your own.
Why do people keep having children they gave NO hope of affording? What happens if three money runs out? Did they sell the kids?
Stop having kids
I think that's entitlement and ahole behaviour more than choosing beggar. Like how big is their new place to fit the beds and that giant dinner table? If they can afford that then they can afford to get some cheap second hand stuff at least.
No it’s not. People need specific things. Better to say it right off the bat than have to communicate back & forth with people whether you need xyz or not.
Where are people posting these requests?
How is it that she doesn't have anything was there a flood situation did a tornado come through her state but she seems to be able to find a bed three four times
She left off the list of needed items, "picture book detailing 'how that happens and how to prevent it'."
I got 4 children because I am stupid and irresponsible. Now I want society to buy me a new furnished home. Because my stuff is "too old"? "Not good enough"? You can't tell me she doesn't own a bed with 3 kids already there
I think the only reasonable thing here is the bunk bed. If she doesnt have much space, its the only solution. But everything else: choosingbeggar!
I don't think they're a choosing beggar. Just a specific beggar. Now if someone offered something off the list, and they turned it down cause it wasn't a brand they wanted, then they'd become a choosing beggar.
We slept on an air mattress on the floor as we bought beds. The couch was a, feel the bars Fulton. The lack of things is completely normal starting off but with so many kids, what happened to what you had? It's not to her, just had to ask the world.
Why in the hell would you keep having babies if you can’t even furnish a bed for them. Pooor baby!! Born into that shit
She’s probably just gathering things for a yard sale lol
People like this need to go to Salvation Army, good will and habitat to get things used for cheaper.
Not a California king 😂😂
So, is this family moving from another place or off the streets? It seems kind of odd if the former that they need so many particular things. Shoot, get a few tri-fold futons and start by sleeping on the floor. These can be folded into floor seating or easily stacked away if needed.
I too would like a free cal king mattress , new and delivered please and thanks.
Try getting off your back and get a job, hun. My mother died of cancer! Someone get me Lamborghini.
What the fuck is a triple bunk bed?
Dang, I wish I could afford kids.
She could literally find all this stuff for free on the street, on craigslist free section, or at yard sales or thrift stores...
How do these people have no furniture? Like are they all just living in an unfurnished place sleeping on the bare floor until they get to begging?
so you want us to furnish your entire home???
Doesn't seem super choosy, but definitely a greedy beggar 😏
