[quote=Anonymous]I would offer to pay for a mother's helper, babysitter or housecleaner for a few months. Many of the people I know in situations like yours have time issues. They have trouble working and finding better jobs because of household duties, like cleaning the house, doing laundry (especially for 7 people!), cooking, or childcare (often the most important). If you can get someone to come in, maybe 3 afternoons a week for like 4 hours each time, to help with keeping the household running and the children cared for, it becomes easier to both work jobs and find work. It's hard to find jobs with flexibility and also hard to even job search when all of your time is spoken for every day of every week. So, while it is throwing money at the situation, it is doing so in a calculated manner to try and help her help herself.[/quote]
