I was a divorced mom of 2 toddlers, I worked 40 hrs a week in a factory. Sat morning was rummage sales for clothes, and the afternoon for grocery store. My dad kept the boys, and I took mom for her groceries too.
Plus I taught my boys the basic required for school. Drove them to baseball practice and games.
I did all the grass mowing, and putting plastic on the windows in the winter. I could do most any thing in the rental shack. As long as it was not electrical, my dad did that and kept the old used washer and dryer working.
Awesome job!
