HELP ME!

Answer 1

I hope and pray that everything will work out for you and the kids. I'm sorry but working at mc donalds wont even be enough to pay for day care expenses, gas , electricity, and food etc.. it's totally a waste of time unless you have some sort of help already. Is there an temp agency near? Try to go to the unemployment office and see if they can assist you in finding a job. You have way to much on your hands and mind. Please  go to places that can help you find work.

Answer 2

The only advice I have is take it one day at a time. If your kids are getting to you see if you have a relative that can care for them until you get back on your feet. Everyone needs help sometimes and don't be afraid to get it. The most important thing is the children's well being. I am not saying you are on the verge of hurting them  but it sounds like you need a break.

As far as the job goes, its hard to find employment. And working at mcdonalds you don't make enough money to even pay a babysitter. Try temp services and you should check your countys job and family service department. Its there to help people who need it and it sounds like you do.

Good Luck.

i think giving your kids to your sister would be helpful. tell them they're going on holiday, so they can't see your stressed. that will just make them worry.

take your time alone to relax, breathe, find a job, spend all day searching. go an visit your kids, so they don't think you've forgotten them, and tell them you're looking for a new home, ro something, so they look forward to coming home.

i really hope things work out for you, i understand it can't be easy, especially not having someone to lean on. just remember that you have 2 gorgeous angels who depend on you, and you're stronger than you think you are. you can get through this. just take things one step at a time...if you look at the next week you'll collapse from exhaustion...just take it day by day. you'll get there...

Answer 4

Take their dad to court and get child support u are entitled to that.  The state can also help they have well-fare/food stamps to help u get back on your feet and even provide affordable housing.  If your electric turns off again just call them because if u have kids it is illegal for them to cut off your electric.  I wish u all the best and YES u can do it because your strong!!

Answer 5

relax take a deep breath and hold on

go to the food bank to feed the kids

i assume you have lot rent fees call up the land lord and tell him what is up

apply for aid for you and the kids

turn the basterd in for child suport

and breathe

any job is better than none so take what u can get

apply to the local ymca for day care for the kids

ask relatives friends for help

i feel for you deep breath collect yourself and ask for help

Answer 6

Just pray on it are there places that you can get help from like food stamps or wic call 211 united way they can give you numbers for places that can help keep the Faith God will work it out God Bless

Answer 7

Apply for financial assistance if you haven't already.  Get food stamps, unemployment, etc..  If your sister will have you and your children, go for it.  Give yourself a timeline and follow it.  Get that job, get some child support and look at this as your chance to make a better life for you and your children.  We are only given what we can handle.

Answer 8

You know, I feel super bad saying this......But I almost dont believe you. Well, If you are telling the truth....You need to get it together. There MUST be someone to help. A mother, father, sister, brother, friend, grandmother, any relation or friends at all? I mean, there are cheap daycares. And food and clothes closets until you can get it together! Dont worry! There are tons of jobs, if your good at begging. Groceries, gas stations, pot stores, resteraunts! I live in a small town but there are plenty of places to work! Your kids, the rivalry? Well  thats all kids. You have to buckle down, maybe they arent old enough to understand, but you could try to clue them in on the issue. Thats all I have, and a fever is simple, tell him not to move around. Sit him down and make him stay! A cool rag on his forehead and a goodnights rest and he should be fine. :] Hope I helped.

Sincerely,

Emma

Contact social services . Theres many agencies that can help you. Do you go to church? Many

churches will help you with rent and essentials in

times of crisis like this.

I'll pray for you and your children. Trust in God that he will take care of you.

God Bless.

Answer 10

dont lose hope. i have a friend that this happened to about 3 years ago. i know it is so hard now. my friend is now happily married and a director at a daycare. no matter what keep moving in a forward direction. even if at times its only an inch at a time. if you have to work at mcdonalds, do it and go to college. even online classes are great. your children are lucky to have you and always try to be bettering their life and yours.

Answer 11

Get off the computer and go find a job. I don't mean to be rude, but that's what you need to do. Stop asking US what you should do and just go out there and do it!

PS - Beggers can't be choosers. If you need a job and you're so broke that you can't even feed your kids......work at McDonald's. It's $7.00 more an hour than you're making now!

Answer 12

you go to work at Mcdonalds... apply for food stamps and get child support and another things at welfare office that you can get...

Smack little pix on the butt and tell him there is more were that came from if he does NOT leave sam alone..

out everyone one in one room and watch a movie on your lap top..
