Desmond Hatchett is 29 years old and has 21 children with 11 different women. The Knoxville, TN native also works for minimum wage and can't support all of his kids. The state is only allowed to take 50% of his paycheck, which doesn't amount to very much for each child.
What do we make of Hatchett's decision? This is clearly a question for Financial Lovemaking.
In this episode of Financial Lovemaking with Dr. Boyce, we discuss Hatchett's choice within the context of non-judgmental analysis. Should a person without resources be allowed to have this many children? If the man has the resources, is it acceptable for him to have this many kids with this many women? What about being able to provide the time and love for each child?
What if Hatchett were a wealthy man who had 21 children by just 1 or 2 women? Would that be acceptable? What if he chose not to get married?
