I don't understand you point or what you are getting at??

Please, don't play dumb with me.

I legitimately don't think she does.

Michelle, I think he thinks you are trying to defend the sister because you see a bit of yourself in the sister, figuratively speaking ofc. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

To me, the fact that your mom is retired brings up two things.

For one, are you assuming that your mom will watch the kids fulltime? After all, retired people don't often jump at the idea of working fulltime again, even if it means watching their grandkids. It is not their inherent duty and they don't have to unless they want to. Most are only willing to watch the kids for one day, which is why I brought it up.

Second, although retired doesn't mean 62.5+, it often does (otherwise the word to describe such situations is usally unemployed). So assuming she is up there in age, can she actually watch what I assume are two young kids + an infant fulltime?

She said she would look after the kids, didn't you read it.

And, I agree that it is incredibly stupid to have kids you can't afford, but it happened and now all they can do is to try to push through it. And if they are wll under 5, then, tbh, I can understand how the house is a mess.

I obviously have my 3 month old daughter, but my 4 year old nephew comes over every other weekend and holy shit that kid can tear up a room in no time. I won't get into why it is up to me to clean up after him, but toddlers are extraordinarily messy.

The mess isn't the problem since mother cleaned the house.

Would you say that lowering expenses has an equal impact on available funds as much as increasing revenue would impact available funds?

That would imply fiscal responsibility, which on one hand they claim they're poor (They're on Medicaid and receive WIC/SNAP), but he can take his biological daughter out to Kentucky to see the eclipse. Mind you, that IS good quality time, but when you're having to call your billing company regularly saying you can't make the payments on time...

If so, would you say that what your sister would pay in childcare costs should be considered?

Considering my mother has volunteered to look after her kids while she was out at work (or school), that cost is, by and large, irrelevant. I'm also fairly certain the father's parents also volunteered. Hence what I mean by "willful" when I say things like "willful laziness/indolence"

Although I agree that you shouldn't have kids if you can't afford them, I also feel like the father could abstain as well and is equally at fault for the situation they are in. After all, he knew that she was apparently garbage and that they couldn't afford another kid. (Unless he was tricked, ofc)

It's...complicated.

She quit her management job because of more elevated management being idiotic backbiters apparently (tough shit, it's the fucking business world), and hasn't been back in employment since.

What's more disappointing is what went on before that- she was valedictorian, graduated high school at 16, has a higher IQ than me (she's 160, while I capped the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (132, meaning at least 132)), and was going to a premier uni for biomedical engineering, buuuuuuut she flubbed that up.

K, Considering my mother has volunteered to look after her kids while she was out at work (or school), that cost is, by and large, irrelevant. I'm also fairly certain the father's parents also volunteered. Hence what I mean by "willful" when I say things like "willful laziness/indolence"
