Also dont listen the bs in the answers above. I have food stamps, medicaid for my kids and we live in rent assisted apartments. Just because we didnt get an education b4 having out kids doesn’t mean that it is wrong now. We are obviously proving that we are productive people in society that are learning to do bigger and better things with our lives. A couple years of not making a lot and living very carefully will be rewarded in the end when we make enough to support our families without any help from anyone. The education is the most important thing. Only work if a) you have to, and b) it will still give you time with your kids. school and kids is hard enough to do. i have a very flexible work schedule that goes around kids and school and I hope you can find one too.

As a single mother of twins I had to put myself on the back burner and put my children first with getting a job to provide for my children. No matter what the job was. How can you pay for a sitter if you have no money or support from relatives.

That is what I had to face, so I decided to work and go to school later. Now my twins are 13 and I just got my MBA while still working.
