yep! divorced here (19 years ago) and had no other choice BUT to use child care. parents did not agree with my choice of a husband, so when kids came along, they literally moved 500 miles away and washed their hands of the whole situation. actually had kids 3 years after being married (no premarital hoo haw here!) ex-hubby did not want a kid (these things DO happen; even with birth control), so he left and fought child support all the way. had to earn a living somehow with my spendiferous high school education (which nowadays guarantees me an interview at micky dees; you need an associates to run the register). i guess people would be happier had i stayed home with kiddies and lived off the gov't teat?

I hear you.Got your back on this topic.I depend on privately paid childcare in order to support my small family.I spend more on childcare than rent.I choose life.But I am still a "really bad person", according to the RINO's on this site.What do the perfect people expect happens when a single mother chooses life?Or an abandoned wife keeps her family together?I have yet to win millions in the LOTTO, nor has anyone ever offered any financial support.

At some point, people will agree there is a need for decent child care if we are going to continue to villify women who refuse to be "welfare" statistics.Under various circumstances, a lot of women will face the same situation, through no fault of their own.I have seen this to be more the norm than the exception.With a more than 50% divorce rate in the US, I will sit back and be heartily amused by the "perfect people" responces.there but for the grace of God......
