I am a single mother of two. Same father we once where madly in love & happily married but well that being said. I am now single working 40 hours & starting college tomorrow evening.
A friend of mine recently left her husband. She left her 28 hour a week job as a waitress to tend bar 8 hours a week at a little dive. No reason more than other than being a bartender sounds better than Im a waitress. She has a 5 yo daughter, and has applied for every type of financial aid under the sun. She is now recieving food stamps, Husky for both her & her child, financial assistance & applying for section 8. I dont see how she could live with herself being just so god damned lazy. We are supporting her & her daughter while she refuses to get a fulltime job or at least educate herself to get a better job.
I am the only one who finds this wrong? I think that she is making single mothers look bad. She has a new boyfriend even though she just filed for divorce on November 17th. And is planning on him moving in with her & her daughter. I aslo feel that this child has already had many changes and now will be moving from mom & dads to a "new daddy" in such a short time span, is very selfish to the mother. In these past 2 month the child has moved twice & changed schools twice.
I have been seperated for 3 years (we divorced in may of 05) and havent yet shared anyone special with the kids, I worry about them and am almost ready to let them meet the guy I have been seeing. I feel that its our job to protect our children from our wrong decsions. I think we shouldnt allow them to just meet people we are dating but those relationships that will be long term.
