Working in social services I met so many people. They didn’t want to accept the fact the answer to a lot of their problems was having a steady 40 hour a week job. They thought they could work a couple hours here and there, and get state assistance, and that was a long term solution. In their mind the problem was never they didn’t work enough. The problem was always the state wasn’t providing enough assistance, and they always had reason to believe the state was going to start paying them more money through one of a numbers of programs. Either be they were going to get more food stamps or more disability ect….

This is the problem with America. A woman gets to divorce a man we don’t ask why but he must pay child support even if he doesn’t want the family separated.

If it was infidelity or abuse then that’s a good reason, but if she just divorced him simply because she didn’t want to be with him anymore, her struggle might just be her punishment from God.

So while he appreciated her childcare services when given, he was not dependent on it because IT WAS REPLACEABLE. It not like he stopped parenting while they were married. So those skills transfer out to the 50% of time he has the kids. The problem on the women side is they don't make it a "while I was appreciative of his income, it was replaceable" situation. They flat out become obsolete. I personally don't get the stay at home fantasy. Get some paying skills even if the guy is footing all the bills.

What if one partner dies? - man, was working full time, parenting part time. just needs to bridge parenting to 100% - IF woman, was parenting fulltime, working part time, then it's bridge work to 100% - What happens in reality, woman parenting full time, has no work (stay at home).

Ex husband chose his mother over me. Can't fix that.

[@kristencobb230]

I chose to be a single mom because of years of abuse. I left a stable job (with a pension!) of 21 years to move to another state and take a job offering 50% more income and more opportunities for advancement. I left my oldest child behind in college in my previous state (painful 😢). You make choices and you have consequences. I don’t regret my decision for a minute but it wasn’t easy. 7 years later I’ve tripled my previous income, my oldest and her baby live 10 minutes away, and I reconnected with my HS boyfriend and love of my life. YOU have to put in the work to make your life better. I remember thinking, “if I have to live in a cardboard box it will be better than this”. My marriage was killing me and my kids. I made a list of pros and cons and knew it was going to be painful for awhile. I wish her luck and discernment. ❤️🙏🏻

My daughter was born in another country and I got 100 a month in child support. The day after I got back to the US, I walked into a temp agency and got a job at a call center stuffing envelopes (had been a teacher with a masters abroad). I was young and though it was scary as heck it was a life filled with meaning and purpose. I worked my way up, stayed close to daughters family with whom she is still very close, 99% because of my efforts. Yet I hardly dare breathe my success story because its not pitiful enough for sympathy and my strength just makes people mad

[@natashadickson4819]

​​@@Excalibur2 It's just as impressive as being a widow who has children. Especially if the man died and had nothing to leave behind as many men do. $100 a month is so pathetic, yet he probably felt proud of himself. When kids grow up to be rich and famous without help from their fathers, I don't feel sorry if the father is rejected. Jeff Bezos is an example...Jeff's biological father signed away parental rights but wanted to meet Jeff when Amazon prospered.

[@Excalibur2]

@@natashadickson4819 statistically, being a single parent is one of the worst things that can happen to a kid. That's why I hate all the praise people give them. I'm sure it is hard, but all the more reason to do everything in your power to find a second, quality parental figure.

[@israelrivers8280]

Had a friend who put himself on child support, the mother can say she wants none and 20 years later change her mind and sue for full support going back to the time of separation and is legally allowed to do so. Then if you cant pay you could end up in prison. Always go through a good attorney, and dont go along with what an ex says they want. That time of joint decision making is over.

[@9liveslisa]

For whatever job she applies for she should highlight her skills as a stay at home mom (i.e. scheduler, decision maker, caretaker, buyer, etc. ) You get the drift. Often times, stay at home moms don't think they have any skills because they have never worked or they have been out of the work force a long time. She has lots of skills. She just needs to recognize them and feel confident in them. A good employer will recognize that.

[@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment]

I sort of agree, but a good potential employee won't need to make an employer see between the lines and interpret. Being able to argue, even from a "weaker" position (less work experience), is a key skill in most workplaces. I will have a lot of time for just about anybody who can convince me of transferrable skills, regardless of what the skills are, but it's really on them to argue that well and convincingly.

[@HelosWorldRailroadReseller]

They maybe be reluctant to hire that the person in front of them is all over the place. They need someone who’s reliable.

[@anneshirley9560]

True, when I applied for certain jobs I would reference my mom skills. Being a good listener, and being patient, calming people down who being are angry, and being sympathetic for a receptionist at a doctors office is also a good skill set that a lot of people don't have, or my current job, I clean a day care, and asked if I knew how to fix broken toys and clean. I said obviously, I'm a mom. 😁 best part, I get to take my child with me, so I still feel like a stay-at-home mom.

No child support if 50/50 which is what I begged the courts for. Good luck with that in SC. Sucks to go through a divorce you don't choose and then see your kids part time and pay child support when you want 50/50 joint legal and physical custody. Dave, no CS for 50/50.

[@myyt3824]

If you commit to someone and start a life together and have children, and that person provides for all your needs so you can raise the kids and take care of the home, and you choose to file for divorce and drastically change and complicate your life because you felt like it, YOU need to figure that sht out. YOU need to get a skill and an income that can adequately support you and the kids. Unless your spouse is verbally, emotionally, financially, mentally, or physically ab-sing you or the kids, or cheating, there really isn’t a valid reason to blow up your life and bail on your marriage. Seriously. This woman didn’t think any of this through. She didn’t ask herself the most basic questions like where will I live, how will I earn money, how will I buy groceries and clothing, etc. Nothing. She just got a feeling, filed for divorce, and expected to still not have to work. The delusion of the modern woman is insane.

[@Jenda-ld8dj]

Evidently, he wasn't abusing her. Though probability has it that she will create the narrative "look what your Father has done to us" then alienates the kids from the Father. This happens to 22 million families/year in the USA. This, by definition is an epidemic. The Family Court laws need to be changed now.

She needs to look into insurance companies. Most claims jobs are Full time positions, with benefits, and many can be worked remote from home after a probationary period. Days shift 8-10 hours with weekends and holidays off typically. Single parent life is hard without help, but there are jobs out there that will put food on the table and their own roof over their heads. Even if you're barely getting by at times, there's always a way to get it done. She has help if she's getting support and living with family, there's already some foundation to build off of for her and her kids.

[@bailey-k6b]

Maybe since she got rid of the family element for her children, she should let the kids live with the father who didn’t ask for a divorce. She created this problem, she should suck it up and deal with the consequences.
