[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 305802, member: 4264"] Hmmm, interesting problem. Sounds like in so many ways she is doing so well. Something jumped out at me. She is hoping for child care certification. She would be PAID money to work in that field. Next thing, she would need to PAY someone to help keep her apartment clean. SOooooo .... How about a swap? How about if you help her find a ORGANIZED young mom who really could use a break during the week and can't afford the child care? So, difficult child tells this person that she doesn't like a messy apartment but she has issues regarding organization and is in need of ... say 3 hours a week? Of housecleaning services. Her part of keeping it going could be ensuring all clothes are picked up and trash taken out BEFORE the cleaner arrived so that the cleaner could mop, vacuum, dust, do bathroom and kitchen etc. It cant' get out of control too much with a weekly clean sweep by someone who IS organized! In return, she can offer x amount of free child care services that the young woman can use, on a schedule, Say a certain night of the week. Or whatever works for both of them??? In this economy, a barter of services is the new kinda norm for alot of people. It may just work! That would just leave the laundry situation. I don't know how that would work without a laundrymat nearby to her. But a clean apartment weekly to start fresh every 7 days would probably be a confidence booster. Maybe she'll keep her clothes better after she gets used to enjoying the cleanliness after the cleaner was in? [/QUOTE]
