Depends...I say there's still factors.
Depends on the job, depends on how qualified you are and what kind've/stability of job you're in, depends if you already own the house, or you're renting...sometimes a situation can be the one parents thrust upon you, sometimes it can be due to the fact you had kids too early and narrowed down your options somewhat...Depends on if you consider bare minimum, or yknow, a "little more" as satisfactory by the standards you set for yourself or kid/s.
It's easy to ignore the fact there's some people in pretty shitty situations, because it isn't ALWAYS the case, there's scores or difference between people..what if the only jobs available at the time were shitty p/t jobs that offered fuck-all pay, so you have to take on other jobs...jobs that start right as one of your jobs finish...just saying for some people it might in fact be harder than the situation you're used to yourself?

Not saying that the person you're talking about is in this situation, or commenting on whether or not they spend enough time with their kids, 'cos I don't know them...I wasn't speaking in relation to them in the first place...just that yknow, sometimes, shit happens.
