So I’m a single mom of 2 kids. I’m drowning slowly. I have no babysitter for my kids. My family doesn’t help much anymore (they all have their own kids, jobs & lives - totally get it), their dad isn’t in their lives (maybe in jail i think) & the only babysitter willing to watch my kids my twelve hour third shift is 760 dollars a month . Which is out of my budget by a lot. I live 30 mins from all my family & im also trying to go to school. I had to drop 2 classes last semester so I’m taking a break from school. My boyfriend wants me to move an hour from my friends & family & everyone i know to live with him. We’ve been together for 2 years off & on. Problem is i feel like if i can’t get help with my kids this close to everyone i know, why would i move farther with absolutely NO help or knowing anyone ? He has a son he does shares parenting with that his grandma watches for free anytime he ever needs it & when he works so i don’t think he understands how expensive it is for 2 kids to be babysat.. I’m stressed to the max & thinking about dropping school til they’re both in school. I’m venting mostly but does anyone have any advice or thoughts on my situation.. i own my own mobile home on a rented lot & i can’t go stay with family like some suggested. They don’t have room & they won’t watch my kids. #myfirstpost
