Message:: [QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 3060262, member: 29452"]don't know the man's situation, but with two kids being a single father. And depending on the age of his children, daycare can cost up to $250 a week per child. I don't know if he's gotten help from the state, or what state he is in, but even going through those channels can be difficult when you're a single father. Trust me I know I just went through something very very similar. Only in my case I was ordered not to leave my daughter alone with her mother. I had to care for her 24/7. And when you are in a situation where you have no friends, that could help out, not that I expect any of them to, or no family living with you. It is very difficult.  In my situation I was forced to quit my job, and when I asked DSS how I'm going to provide for my child if she's got to be in my care 24/7 how can I work  to provide? The DSs worker told me quote "I don't know that's your problem."     There is a discrimination against single fathers versus single mothers,  I know, I just experienced it over this past year.  But yes he is foolish if he thinks he can buy coins and instantly flip them. I had to sell my whole coin collection once I was told I had to be around my daughter 24/7 and couldn't work anymore. Now a year later things have turned around, new place to live, moved back to the state I grew up in, I have family here, and most importantly, employed again.  But it took a year.  Good luck to the OP.[/QUOTE]
