I wish my ADHD and other issues would let me work 85 hours a MONTH with my toddler around all day every day. I'd be able to pay myself a very decent salary for the part of my country that I live in right now. If I could consistently work a reasonable 150 a month, I'd have the deep into 5 figures amounts of debt my ex put me into, paid off in 2 years. Worst part is, I used to be able to work over 200 a month easily, but I wore myself out like that and now that I'm an exhausted single parent, it's so, so hard to get anything done.

Best of luck to you and your kitty. It sucks that you need to work so much to be able to afford necessities.

Oof, I don't know how I'd function if I had a toddler. Single parents amaze me, I can barely function as a single person. I have pretty bad ADHD and work is an absolute white knuckle struggle, but I have absolutely no one since my last relationship failed and I don't want to be homeless so I cry a lot at home and then slap a smile on and grind through my shift.
