[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 359204, member: 84"] help me, K's husband has no family. None. He grew up in the foster care system and only has a "foster" grandmother who still let's him come around occasionally........but she has much experience with difficult children and doesn't offer help. I guessing she's been burned in the past. K only has her bio mom and us. Bio mom is also out of work.....and somewhat of a difficult child herself. Ten yrs ago I brought K here from Mo with the oldest grandchild (a baby at the time) because they were homeless and out of work.....with the stipulation that her husband (her boyfriend at the time) did not come along. Nothing personal necessarily against the man, but to me a man can work for what he needs, homeless or not. A woman and infant have no place on the streets. Got burned bad because he followed her here. She was given an amazing amount of opportunity to change her life around ( I still can't believe how much everyone reached out to help her) and she threw it away. Briefly a while back I considered maybe letting her and the kids come here to stay. I think the thought lasted maybe an hour tops. Because nothing has changed in those 10 yrs. Yeah Janet......something is fishy. I know welfare won't pay for a hotel here either.....and we have more housing issues they where she lives. And she doesn't make it sound as if they get a monthly check....just food stamps and insurance. So I've been wondering the same thing for the past 2 yrs. But then decided maybe I just plain don't want to know how they're paying for things other than food.:raspberry-tounge: I do send the grands something from time to time. And Alex and Kayla's birthday's are coming up. Now I'm afraid to send them a walmart card in their birthday cards (cheaper than shipping a gift) for fear they'll never see it and know I sent something. Guess I may have to bite the bullet and go buy them each a present and ship it to them. K wants her life to change, she just wants someone else to change it for her while she doesn't have to put forth any effort. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
