[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pull your kids out of daycare. You aren’t working so why are they in Daycare?[/quote] I found a daycare so I can start working. He hasn't started yet. I have just found a PT job that pays minimum wage - obviously I am applying for higher paying work. [/quote] Why would you take a minimum wage job and pay for childcare? It makes no sense! You should be watching OTHER people's kids and getting paid more than minimum wage. I don't understand your logic at all, especially preschool. You could be a pet sitter and make more money than minimum. Hell, I pay my pet sitter $15 hour just to drop in for 30 minutes. Rover.com. Please rethink this before you lose your kids for good. this is going to sound harsh, but you sound more sentimental about the ring than you do your own kids. And making a move to MD without knowing for sure you'd get the support you need sounds like very bad judgement. I'm concerned about your judgement and planning. In a dire situation, you do not send a kid to preschool instead of feeding your family.[/quote] It's a means to an end. Better to have something coming in than nothing. I don't want o put my daughter through the upheaval of leaving a school then going back when I am in the process of getting a better paying job. My friend suggested she would be helpful to me before I moved here. She got me the job I had and has helped with food and introducing me to people. I just don't have a localized support system, and the rest of my friends/family live in prohibitively expensive places (DC, Chicago, San Francisco) and this seemed like the best bet. [/quote] You don't want to put your daughter through the upheaval of leaving school, but you'll send her to another country????? You are lying and making excuses. You have family living in expensive places like DC, Chicago, and San Francisco, so they have MONEY and they're not helping you? WTF?? You are not asking them. Instead of asking for help from them, not wanting to make your EXdh mad, and not wanting to bother your friend (where you moved near her for the support), you're going to give up your own kids. That is what you're saying. DO YOU SEE THAT?! [/quote]
