Would you feel bad for not attending or giving a gift to this birthday girl? (father, wedding)

Wow. I don't think that family "celebrates" so much. They probably buy "invitations" by the pound. They sound more like grifters.

Do they always use these "parties" to pay their bills?

Thank you taxpayer!

You ask why does she keep having babies? Well the more babies you have the more your entitlements get increased.

They're not scammers....they're making very clear what it is they're doing.

This is very distasteful, rude, and inappropriate, but they're being honest about their own lack of boundaries or standards.

As far as welfare, she could be doing this to avoid having to go on welfare. I doubt it, but it is possible.

That's exactly what they are. I would bet that the "birthday gals" rent is covered by welfare. Or she is Section 8. This is just a scam to get extra money.

Ah, but the invitation said to send it to the apartment complex, not the daughter herself.

Never heard of such. Is bad enough that it seems OK to get invitations to help pay for honeymoons. Guess we can now looks forward to stuff like this.

I'd have suggested that they use the party money to help support this grown woman and her multiple children. She can't even make the rent and they're throwing a grown adult a party that requires INVITATIONS?

Oh hell no.

If it was me, I'd send a box of condoms.

This is beyond tacky.

I'd rep you if I could

Multiple babies with multiple daddies yet everyone else should kick in to help pay for her bad choices. SMH.
