I don't know where you live Rhap but many communities have daycares that offer their services by income - they are re-imbursed by state monies to make up the difference. A call to your local human services department may be able to guide your neice in the right direction.

You are right to take care of your family first though. I know it's hard to justify when you see the problems that can arrise for your neice and her kids, but they are life's difficulties that have to be dealt with......you did not put them in their position hon. You have been more than generous with your neice and now it's time she starts depending on her own abilities to take care of her children the best way she can. You can be there for her emotionally for support......but you and your family do come first!

Things will work out hon....they always do. We always get what we need........maybe not what we want...but what we need.

Wishing you strength and hope.
