Some great decision making there. Massive debt she's never likely to pay, two children out of wedlock, and no steady income to show for the two degrees. The guy doesn't seem to smart either for getting her pregnant twice.

It's even worse, I don't think he's the father of both kids, the article said "I have one kid and another on the way," and not "we have."

That seems more than likely. These people are terrible. See this story: https://www.marketwatch.com/picks/my-husband-refuses-to-pay-my-student-loans-his-reason-i-took-out-the-loans-before-we-were-together-is-there-some-loophole-to-get-him-to-pay-01643839946?mod=mw_more_headlines

No mention of being a mother - just long-term unemployed. She's attempting to find a 'loophole' that'd force her husband to pay her student loans.

Effectively what we have here are two entitled women with something equivalent to gambling debts, desperately seeking anybody but themselves to pay the bill.
