How do the single moms do it?

I’m grateful my son got to go to daycare and I had time to clean and look for work. The hard part is looking for a job with no weekends , which is hard as hell, I’m grateful to have the people in my sons daycare even though I gotta pay them for days i work . God this hard, the jobs I come across find my schedule difficult because I need weekends off idk wat to do

My mom has full custody of my 1 year old .. it is hard! .. 1/3 of my check goes to his pampers and food and I take him out every chance I get! I don’t want to get into why she has custody of him but he’s in a safe place and I’m not .. I work two jobs just to take care of me !.. it’s hard!! It really is! I feel your pain !

@SW-User girl don’t wait you so young, try to apply to just take the test without going to the class , if you fail then go to a program but you might get it on beginner’s luck, I got mine in 2019! It took 3 tries the math fucked me up.. don’t wait this the only thing that will help you to get out of those dead end jobs
