My daughter has 2 little girls. She is college educated and was married when both girls were conceived. Her Military husband kicked all of them out and moved in some slut he met on facebook.
My daughter can barely make the bills. She had to find a job (after being a stay-at-home mother) in the worst economy I can remember. What she found was good and related to her degree but she had to work shifts and call-ins. She can’t do that and leave a 3 and 5 year old at home alone. We live 5 hours away and cannot watch the girls while she works. SHe found another job...straight days...but between childcare and gas costs, she was paying more then she was earning.
Now, she sells cosmetics on her own schedule.
Maybe you should have a clue before you paint all parents with such a broad brush....
That’s a really crappy story. I hope your daughter comes through it stronger and better for it.
If her hubby is still on active duty she would have been getting up to 60% of his check.
