    What Do You Think? Cl Ad

    Childcare needed for my twins!
    Hi, I'm a teenage mom of 12 month old twins ( boy & girl) Their father is still in my life & we are a things. His start working full time in June & I have to go to spend the summer with my dad has I'm 17 years old. I well be back on weekends for my children, but my boyfriend still needs someone to watch them while I'm at my dad's & his working.
    Days would be Monday-Friday form 8am-7pm.
    With just home working we don't make a lot of money has we do live in a two bedroom without really any help from family. The most we can pay is $150 a week for both, but would be better if someone is willing to do it for less!
    Thank you!

    That's kind of strange IMO that she has her own children and still is being required to spend the summer with her father...WITHOUT the kids.

    Even if her parents were still requiring her to spend the summer with dad, she could at least get a job while she's there. It's not like she'll have her twins to care for 5 days of the week

      I would hope thats not true....if she moved out and has children, can a parent legally enforce a custody issue with her because she is still 17? why would she leave her kids behind??

      sounds like a troll to me.

        All I could pay attention to was $150 a week for 2 12 month olds. Where is this??

        Something about this ad seems off to me.

          Knoxville TN, some SAHM do charge $75/week/child,but most are $100-$130

          I hope it is not true,but It was on craigslist this morning and made me mad,she needs to take her kids with her,of course I do not know whole situation ,but her dad should have offer her to bring kids with her or something

            Maybe her mother has legal custody of the children since she is a minor.

            Maybe she lives in a foster care type situation for young mother's and she isn't allowed or capable of taking her children on her own?

            Maybe her dad is forcing her to visit?

            Maybe her father can't have contact or won't have contact with her children

            Perhaps it is a situation in which we don't know all the details and should not necessarily be mad about what is going on in her life but be understanding and empathetic instead.

            We have NO idea what path she has walked to get herself where she is right now.

              This is 1.36 per hour per child for eleven hour days.

              It isn't enough to cover the babies living expenses while under the provider's roof much less pay a salary for care.

              If the parents can't afford their children and don't have time to be with them awake then the parents need to place them with parents that can afford them rather than ask a stranger to do it for free. Offering 150 or less for two babies for eleven hour days is asking someone to provide living expenses at a loss and physical care and supervision for free.

                I agree. It sounds sad.

                  yeah the ad does not sound good....if you arent able to pay for your child's needs and are not even physically present, I guess I dont understand....what is it that she IS doing for her children???
