[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you are vile for posting this, especially because it sounds like mom is struggling but doesn’t want to leave her family and go live in a bachelor pad. Why don’t you get off the internet and help her?

I am in a similar situation and you just make it work, honestly. My child is the most important thing to me and they need one stable parent who is reliable 24/7 and that’s me. I can go to happy hour or whatever in 10 years. [/quote]

with all due respect, it's MUCH harder when you have 3+ kids as a single working parent.  Apples and oranges compared to having 1 kid. And the chaos starts scrambling your brain.  We're not talking a happy hour, we're talking having an occasional day to catch up on sleep so she can function, or go get the car fixed, or necessary life needs.

I mean, you don’t get a day to catch up on sleep or get the car fixed when you’re a single mom. Ever. You take the kids with you to get the car fixed, and you’re always short on sleep. I’m sorry, OP. It sucks. It’s really hard. Although it actually sounds like you ARE going to get breaks every other weekend.[/quote]
