[QUOTE="Steely, post: 98537, member: 3301"] SO so sorry you are going through this still with him. Perhaps not answering the phone when he calls would be helpful? Although maybe not possible. I struggled with aftercare for years and years........UGH. You are right the Y and corp daycares do not want kids that have issues. I finally resorted to hiring high school girls. They were the same price as daycare, and in my opinion, did a heckva lot better job. Sometimes you can call your local HS and they have a list of names of kids who are interested in sitting in their community. As far as benefits, there are actually a lot of companies that are now offering benefits for part time people. I can think of at least 4 off the top of my head - Starbucks, REI, Container Store, Coldwater Creek. I know there are many others, but maybe that will give you a start. Plus those are companies that are known to pay very well - and it is the holidays so I imagine they need the help right now. As far as your dad........I am sending you massive hugs to get through that one. If I had to live with my dad, they might have to check me into long term psychiatric care, seriously! I can't imagine. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
