I guess I should have mentioned they are all court ordered to pay but choose not to. I got my tubes tied! I was married and couldnt handle the abuse! I wasnt just sleeping around with losers! I have done everything I can to make them pay. 1 of them even told the judge he would rather go to jail than to pay for a child he doesnt want! So he has been in jail once already for it. The other they cannot find. I have no way to contact him. I dont have family that can help. That is why it is so hard. I cant work multiple jobs without daycare. I have daycare assistance but it will only pay for 10 hours a bay. Which I work every day. I am not saying I cant I am just asking how do people handle it???? Thats the part I cant do.

I did it. It was not easy, but it is one day at a time.
How about the babies daddy? Perhaps he can help. Family?
I got little to no child support, I was an orphan, and I did it. A little crazy perhaps, but I earned it !
Good Luck & Blessings

First, call the electric company and ask for an extension. Then, Call the United Way and ask for " Family Services". Also, call the Red Cross. There are agencies and churches who can help you. Now, why in the world are you not holding these daddies accountable for child support?? The state says they have to pay. Get busy on having papers served . Last, please, get on birth control.

Hind-sight is 20/20 isn't it. You don't have a choice but to survive and work three jobs if that's what it takes to take care of your children! You CHOSE to have the children. You CHOSE to be with losers! You can and will take care of your kids.
Get up off of the pitty potty and do something! Take those dead-beat dads back to court and get the child support coming in! Tap into family resources.
CAN'T never did anything for anyone. You CAN!

You need to go to your local state agencies and ask for help. There are things that hey can do for you and I don't know about your state but in mine the state will pay you the child support and track down the daddies and take the money from their wages.... including back support.
Go to you local welfare office... you are a hard working single mother... you are exactly the kind of person that they are there to help.

Well, if you are strapped for money...you need to start cutting back. This is the hardest thing a person can go through, as it will take a long time to get used to. You will have to get down to the bare necessaties.

If it's too much to expect, YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE DOING.
If you know who the dads are, they are required to pay child support.
