It's what is right with America. She could take advantage of a temporary safety net until she's back on her feet.[/quote]

How is she going to "get back on her feet" by working fewer hours just to qualify for welfare? [/quote]
Well, the kids will grow and get older, and there is time. OP has a lot of time to devote to a career, but she does not have to do so now.
Holding a full time job with toddlers is challenging. They get sick and day care will not take them. You can also never work overtime without knowing ahead of time, it really gets exhausting. A mother must look after herself as well. The kids even need dr appointments.
Very hard to find a flexible employer, or a position with a high enough salary and the fflexibility. Until the salarries go up and the flexibility is availabe, this is how it goes[/quote]

Just because she is leaving her marriage doesnt mean she has to be the only one dealing with flexibility, scheduling, drs appointment issues, ect. Those will be shared with her ex as well as he is also a Parent, she doesnt have to do it all alone just because she is leaving. She can still keep her job and make it work and the older hte kids get the easier it will be. The dad will have to step up and stay home with the kids when they are sick sometimes as he is also a parent, she doesnt have to do it alone[/quote]
