Given that she is a divorced mother of three including a mentally challenged child, I doubt she is working three jobs for any other reason than to support her family. Working three jobs (unless they were all part-time) would leave little time with her children.
I wasn't speaking of her specifically, I was just trying to point out that different people do things for different reasons. The 3 jobs she has may well be part time so that she can spend more time with her children, and some may well be seasonal, meaning that they don't all overlap so you're working 3 jobs at all the same time. I see many single parents working for the sports teams since it is only a limited number of days or evenings, and only in a specific season. Actually those type of jobs provide some flexibility since you can choose when you work, and with both the theatre and the sports teams they don't have work available seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.
Just trying to provide alternate views. Don't shot the messenger!!
The woman is in her LATE 50's!
I hate it that any American has to work three jobs to get by, but I can't believe she has children of an age that they require a lot of attention.
It's hard to say how bad the situation is with such skimpy info.
