I've had experience dealing with DCF before because my ex-husband had some drug issues, so, the last time, I made sure my kids had a relative to go to in case it took some time to get everything done, and I straight up told them what I did, and they made sure that the children were not exposed to anything adult in nature and closed my case.
If I were to work more to afford an office, they wouldn't get the care they deserve. My little ones are 3 and almost 5, so I can't just shut my bedroom door from 9 to 5 and leave them to fend for themselves. And while my son is older, 12yo, he is at an age that he is constantly testing boundaries, and I need to be there to enforce the ones I set. So I care for them all day, sneak a few minutes here and there to check the boards or email, and I work at night when everyone is in bed. I get about 4 hours of sleep a night..if I'm lucky, lol. If I worked more, either I'd be working when they are running around and they WOULD be exposed to inappropriate materials, or they'd be neglected because I was in my room with the door shut. So I'm trying to work smarter, get better organized, and manage my time better.
But even so, my rent and utilities just doubled with no warning. I'm struggling a little right now, and if I can't comfortably pay my expenses at home, I'd be nuts to take on additional expenses, especially when I would have to take my kids to the office to work there, anyway. Single mom, and all.
However, with even the little one starting school soon, I'm getting an extra 7 hours to work, so I anticipate my budget issues being short-lived.
In any case, I appreciate your concern and advice.
