Another situation is if everything stays the same, does that mean I'll have to help look after the kid while she is working nights? The father lives at home and is looking after his mother. I'm not exactly in the best state to look after and kid and change diapers. This may sound nuts, but I just don't want her to get rid of the cats or dog. I'd be heart-broken if they were given up. I've gotten really attached to them. They're like family to me.

I just feel like I'm going to be saddled with this. (Sigh) What to do....
