I am so sick of people that think it's ok to work 3 jobs.

55. Well it could be. On the other hand I don't think she honestly can give her child the

quality time. My husband and I worked 2 yrs before he got out of the military to save for a down payment on a house. My husband was in the military and he had to be to work at 5:00 am to do PT. He would come home and clean up and take our son to school. Then on Fri, he go to his part time job at the Youth Center and work til 10pm. Then on Saturday he would work from 5-10pm. They were closed on sundays. Working Monday - Friday active duty from 5:00 am- 5:00 pm. Two of those 2 days in the evening he would go 1hr away to take college courses. He would get home late. Sundays was catch up days helping each other getting the house in order.

I worked Mon - Fri 7:30 am- 2:00 pm. Then I would go and pick up our son at school and drop him off at home. Then I went to the Youth Center for my other part time job from 2:30pm - 6:00 pm. I would take care of children at the day care that was there. Then I went home. On fridays I would sometimes bring our son so he could play basketball and other games they had for teens. All free. Sometimes he'd stay with his dad there. He had a ball. We did it for 2 years.

But honestly you can cut back on things so you don't have to work so many jobs. We did that. I don't regret it. I hated going to work because I always had a stay at home mother. I felt my son lost out on that. I try to tell my daughter-in-law to enjoy it. But I don't think she does. She doesn't like working and she doesn't like being home. You can't make her happy.
