From the little OP has posted, I tend to agree. Her husband works while she cares for her son. So why can't he care for the son when he comes home so she can work a while? Why isn't he in school where he would be receiving FREE assistance for six or so hours a day?

She has two choices: make more money to pay for the care or make less to get state assistance. Given that her son is young enough to be in the school system, I don't know why he's not there.

ETA: I hope OP comes back and give us more info. Some of us actually are trying to make useful suggestions, even if our way of helping doesn't suit some others . . .
