The obvious solution is to sell the car and, if she needs a car, buy the cheapest car that functions on decent mileage. Use the profit to pay for day care. Have them all drop their kids to the same place and share a sitter. She'll lose money on the car obviously, but it's better to lose some money than a family member or schooling.
Take the freaking government assistance. There are other programs out there that help with the costs of child care. Research daycare centers before enrolling the kids.
I agree with Kim. They are not in a position to be picky, take the government assistance for now. That is why we have them, what's the point of having them if you're not going to use them. Use it until you are capable of standing up all by yourself. Until then, no point of being picky or getting flashy.
The solution most people are trying to find is for them to get to a quality of living that the people, themselves, think is decent and that's not just going to happen so I don't think all the berating is totally unfair.
Exactly. Either that or take the government daycare (and either way that car purchase wasn't smart). Sad, but this is what happens when people have children at a young age without a stable partner or the complete education that would enable them to get a better paying job.
The second girl needs to move in with the first girl and they can help one another with costs. Foreigners do it all the time for a reason. It works. The other sister can even help some with car expenses if she can also use it if she needs to.
for crying out loud, OP. pay the balance on your credit cards, put on your lefty lady pants, and man up.
