[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re a very low earning family and rely on assistance. We qualify for a childcare stipend but due to my past abuse I did not feel comfortable putting my kids in the daycare center that was available to us. So we’re making it work the best we can. I know generally SAHM are demonized, but you wouldn’t believe what people have said to me. It’s kind of funny. Lot’s of “women should stay home and care for their children” folks change their mind when they find out we are poor. It quickly changes to, “you should work!” All exhausting. [/quote] Can’t imagine why people think someone who is using public assistance so they can be a SAHP should work instead…[/quote] When I worked we still needed public assistance. *shrug*. I don’t think my children should be forced to go to subpar daycare because we’re poor. Even with a childcare stipend the majority of my checks would go to childcare.[/quote]
