Something does not add up.

If she worked 9 to 4 at fast food and 5 to 1:30 cleaning, she would never be with her kids, for one thing. She would also drop from exhaustion.

She would, however, bring in about $3,400.00 monthly. Is that not enough to live on in Kansas? I would have to question her spending.

I didn’t know Popeye’s was a career?

I did the math, too. This is not poverty income, if she is working both jobs five days each week, it is a decent income. I have spent most of my life working two jobs, often with little sleep. Most of my adult life I didn’t go to a Dr. I still have succeeded putting kids through school, providing healthy meals, and a house to live in. That’s what parents do.
I am not familiar with the cost of housing and food in her area, but that income and living with someone else, she should have a very positive cash situation. She isn’t paying for housing, utilities, insurance, gas, feeding her children, buying them clothing, transporting them to school, etc. where is her $800+ a week going?
She works hard, she makes good money, why all the boo hoo?

Math is racist and you’re racist for noticing that the story is BS./sarc

Exactly! Story is fishy.

You assume both are 40 hour a week jobs. The story doesn't say but it's doubtful that they are.

Notice how the article pictures her with a cute little 8 year old “ niece” , not her beloved 14 and-15 year old son and daughter

Wonder what her kids look like and why she didn't use them for the family picture :-)

I don’t know about KC but in western Illinois $40k will buy a decent house.. 40k for 15 years is under $300/month... Then you add in all the welfare benefits she collects but aren’t named in this story ,,, she can do it .. she’s just too stupid.

I worked 2 jobs for 10 years. Wasn’t easy but I scheduled it right.
I worked 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday for the county.
Then I worked 6 to 2 5 nights a week but insisted I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off.
So on Saturday and Sunday I could sleep half the day away before going in at night and Tuesdays and Thursdays when I got off at 5 I’d go straight home and go to bed.
