A little background info...I'm 28 yrs. old, married with three kids, ages 8, 4, and 3 mos. I graduated high school ten years ago, and attended two quarters of college, where I did OK, but not great. I was only 17 when I went to college, and not sure if my lack of success was due to the sudden complete freedom or because I just wasn't smart enough.
I have always valued staying home with my children and have made it a top priority in my life, HOWEVER, we are living well below the poverty level, on food stamps, the whole 9 yards, and barely able to pay rent in the tiny 2 bedroom house that we live in. The power is about to be shut off on Monday because we couldn't afford to pay it...
This whole situation got me thinking...my husband dropped out of high school, and as a result will never have a job making good money, and I'm tired of seeing my children suffer from our financial problems.
If I can get grants to cover the costs, should I go back? Why or why not?
