Question for working mothers?

Question

If you were fired and had small children to feed, would you turn tricks in a back alley to make ends meet.... if you had to?

Answer 1

No. To be honest I would rather hit up McDonalds and Wal Mart for jobs. Working 2 jobs is much better than putting your self into harms way.

Answer 2

If you hate yourself that much, go ahead and sell your body in the back alley. If you think you have a hard time making ends meet now, wait until you get beat up by one of your tricks and end up in the hospital with an enormous hospital bill to pay. Or, wait until you get an STD. Think long and hard about your question. There are jobs out there that don't require a lot of experience (e.g. retail). Get two or three jobs if you have to but don't lower yourself to selling your body.

Answer 3

I would do what ever it took to care for my small children. BUT I feel that caring for my children is more than feeding them. I believe giving them pride and self confidence and a strong spiritual awareness is also possible. How would you feel if your child was asked by one of their friends or teachers what you did for a job and they had to say their mother was a whore. Their are always other ways, maybe not as easy as laying on your back.

Answer 4

I never want to go on welfare because my parents raised me to take care of myself and my family without having to rely on other people. But they also raised me to believe that whoring in a back alley is wrong. I would go on welfare or move back in with my parents before I degraded myself in the worst way possible. What kind of role model to my child would I be if I slept with random men for money? Thats just wrong.

Answer 5

HELL NO!! I have babies and damn it if I ever had to do that. I have been in poor spots in my life but hell. No one and nothing on this earth can ever make me turn to that EVER. There is so much help out there to help mothers who are having problems with making ends meet that I have had to use some years ago. I know what its like to have Two kids hungry, clothes that don't fit them, and a eviction notice handed to me. I had a rough life but now I am living well enough to stay at home with my kids (and its driving me nuts) and still have money to see my family in Alaska. So I know that one mistake in life can lead to more but hell to end up on my back for money is low to my standards.

Answer 6

NO! There are ALL kinds of places that can help you get back on your feet! Do you have any relatives nearby? Out of state and start over? There are ALL kinds of options. If you are going to start doing that PLEASE give your children to someone that will deserve them because you'll NEVER turn back once you've put yourself in that situation. We have too many children in this world that are screwed up because they are unwanted don't DO THIS TO THEM!!!!!!!

Answer 7

I would do what is necessary. I would probably go work in a strip club before I turned tricks. It's a little less degrading, safer, and you make more money.

Answer 8

Are you crazy. There is a better way to go about money. There are all kinds of jobs, out there. They may not be the most perfect job but it would be alot better than that. How would you take care of your kids when you die of some awful disease.

Answer 9

Turn tricks? Defiantly not! I'd sell crack.
Come on what kind of question is this.
Luckily my husband has a great job. So if I ever lost mine we would be fine until I found something else.

Answer 10

this was an option, but i went into a shelter instead, they housed me and opened me up to agencies who helped i got on housing got a welfare check, went to school for free, got a small grant for 700 dollars bought a car. went off welfare and housing in 5 years, no babies were small and never new till i told them................there is something very humbling about that experience that never goes away................
