Boo hoo, not like we ever had tough times or shitty jobs. We did get food stamps once for 3 months - that was the total extent of "help" we got from the government. Raised 4 kids, got better skills and better jobs. Cooked nearly all our own meals (to save money) and even washed diapers. Lived in shitty trailer, drove shitty cars, had nothing handed to us. Some will remember how bad the job market was back in late 70's- 1990s. Few and far between, you took what you could get until something better came along. Never passed on a job because it was beneath me. Sorry girl, that's life. Your baby daddy bailed on you.
