[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is never a good day for me. I’m a single parent so nothing “special” is ever done. [/quote]

You deserve something special! Hire a sitter and schedule a massage or take the kids out for pedicures. [/quote]

I know you're trying to be nice. I think many people don't realize that some of us truly do not have an extra dollar available. Literally everything is budgeted. I cancelled cable, but have to have the internet at home for kids homework--i know people who go to the library for that. I don't eat out and my lunch at my desk costs about 75 cents. The rainy day fund ends up going to school field trips or doctor visits. [/quote]

This. Part of the problem is I just want someone else to plan stuff. I plan all vacations, meals, bills, health insurance, activity schedules etc. someone else do something for once!! Also, while my ex is living on the beach the last time he paid child support was March and it was $59. Barely enough to cover dance shoes. [/quote]

I’m the PP who said single moms deserve something special...I’ve been there. It’s HARD - I know. I’ve done the not an extra dollar thing. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now. I hope it gets better/easier soon. [/quote]
