My oldest daughter must be an exception. She is a single parent; gets no child support from her ex-husband, her son has a life threatening illness that costs her a lot in co-pays. She has never been on government assistance and at times has had two jobs. It would have been much easier for her to go on assistance and stay there- but not what she chose to do.
It sounds like you’ve raised a very smart daughter and you should be proud of her as we all should.
My point is that there are a lot of folks out there that aren’t like your daughter and want Santa Clause to take care of them.
