[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 387273, member: 84"] Valid questions Susie........and I've figured out a few things since they've been here, along with added info from the grands. And they sure do provide info. lol I'd been wondering how they'd paid for the motel they'd been living in for the past 2 yrs back in Springfield Mo (before the jump to St Louis). I knew they'd had to have run out of their welfare monthly checks, although they were still getting food stamps and insurance. I knew katie's husband wouldn't be getting unemployment as he's never held a job long enough to my knowledge. And until they went to St Louis katie had denied her Mom had been living with them. (I'd figured it out already though, I'm not that stupid and a phone slip by kayla had sealed it) Ok, here's the low down. Biomom had a great job with Tyson, paid well. She moved in with the kids 5 yrs ago because she's never lived alone and is absolutely terrified to live alone. (thnx to katies enabling grandpa now deceased) So, odds are she "helped" support the kids during the 1st 3 yrs she was with them. Then she got laid off from Tyson not long before katie contacted us.
