I have been in the situation where I had a elderly mother to look after (she has since passed away). I was run to death working all day and having to go see about her at night and take off work to take her to the doctor. I was on my husband's insurance so I was able to cut back my hours at work to part-time.

I bet there are a lot of people who have faced this same thing and can't cut back because of the insurance.
