The trip did not have to be right, Two of the sisters are stay at home moms that live in the winter area and wanted to go now! And it wasn't the one who's birthday it was. So the two non-workers got their way! Even though it wasn't good for us now. I don't get laid off frequently but my company had to do temp layoffs.

As for the single parent thing, I am just saying everyone knows it is busy raising 4 kids without financial issues. Daily im pulling strings to get through each day right now.
