"If your son is 8 years old, he should be eligible for a ton of school-oriented assistance from your city or county, which has nothing to do with your income. Does he have an IEP? If he's at school, why not get a job during those hours? If nothing else, a lot of schools hire aides during the day, which would give you the same hours. McDonald's, WalMart, 24 hour stores also might be options for you. "
Trbl, I agree with you...
Work opposite shifts, work when he is at school, work from home... Dont ever say you cant get a job... There are ways around it... you may not want to work....
