Sorry. I said, "No offense" when I asked. I was just curious why you were counting on the money so much on a certain day. Makes sense. I feel for you because I've never had to rely on money from someone else. I also know that some people in your situation have a hard time getting a job (if they are a stay at home mom) because it makes it hard to collect social security or other benefits, if you make too much. Also, daycare expenses sometimes offset what you would make. Sorry to hear about your situation. I don't think there is much you can do about the "system" though.
