I just don't understand

I was reading on Craigslist again and seen where people we asking for help with items and their messages are getting flagged and people posting to them telling them to get jobs and stop begging, etc. When I posted the other day looking for a bed I was told the same thing along with to stop having kids. So I don't understand what makes these people think they have the right to judge other people. They don't know if I have a job or not or how many kids I have or anything else about me or the other people posting on there. Yet there sat up there on their highhorse passing judgement. They are no better than anyone else. BTW I do not work outside of my home. I am a stay at home mom of 4. And while I may not have a job that includes a paycheck and benefits such as insurance, 401k, etc. my job is more important and special than any job they could have to earn them paychecks they are so proud of. And while my kids may not have everything their hearts desire they do have a roof over their heads, food in their bellys, clothes on their backs and toys to play with they also have a momma waiting on them at the bus stop, fixing their dinners, giving them baths, tucking them in at night. Three of my 4 children have never stepped foot in a daycare and as long as my husband can support us never will have to. And yes sometimes I would like to go back to work and give them those extra things they want not need but want. But it is stupid to go back to work and pay $500 a week for daycare when I would only be making $200. So for me to work I would be putting us $300 in the hole every week. Now those people on CL would say "You should have had the children if you can't pay for them". Well that is just it. My kids are taken care of and I still stay home. Just because someone posts that they are wanting something or are down on their luck and need help with something doesn't mean they are trash or deserved to be treated as such.
