Is it ok for a person to be 21 with 3 kids and live with their parent because they can't afford daycare?

no I don't think it is OK for a person 21 years old with 3 kids to live with there parent If she was ready to have kids then she need to be ready to live on her own if she can't afford daycare then get two job or look for a cheaper daycare or look for a babysitter cause they are less expensive. I am 21 years old have 2 kids and I live with my husband.Is it ok for a person to be 21 with 3 kids and live with their parent because they can't afford daycare?
A person who is 21 with 3 kids must do what is necessary to care for the kids, which may include living with their parent. It is not where you live that is the issue, but whether you act responsibly. In many cultures, it is common to have several generations under one roof.





Do you have a plan for getting to a point where you could support yourself and your 3 kids indpendently? This is important even if your parent is OK with your arrangement, because if something happened and your parent's support was no longer available, then you would need another plan, and you are ultimately responsible for supporting yourself and your 3 kids. You have a wonderful opportunity, some breathing room, while your parent is helping to support you, so now is the time to prepare for a career that could support the four of you.





Do you contribute to your living arrangement, do housework, buy groceries, pay money towards the expenses, and avoid excessive demands on your parent for money or free childcare or other assistance? Do you frequently say and do nice things for your parent to remind them that you recognize how fortunate you are to have their assistance? Do you respect your parent's authority to decide certain aspects of the living arrangement, since it is their house, and therefore, their rules?





If this arrangement is acceptable to both you and your parent, if you act as a partner in this venture rather than a dependent, then, of course it is OK.





This is temporary, of course, because when your children are old enough to go to school, then you will no longer need full time daycare, and you should be able to afford an alternate living arrangement. In the meantime, there is usually more than just one solution to any problem, so if your parent is not in favor of this solution, don't give up. There may be another answer.





Best of luck to you.Is it ok for a person to be 21 with 3 kids and live with their parent because they can't afford daycare?
I'm not going to say whether it is ok or not.. If you are working hard to provide a good life for you and your children, and having temporary problems.. then bravo!! Stay w/ your parents if needed, until you can get on your feet and PROVIDE for you and your family. If you are just living off your parents.. then I think you should reevaluate yourself and what you want outta your life. And if your children's' needs can't be met, I think you should think twice about having more children at this time. I'm not trying to be mean.. just real. If you can't afford daycare, look into some assistance such as daycare vouchers. You may be able to qualify..it is based on your income etc.
No. It sounds like this person made not just one, but at least 3 mistakes. I doubt she is educated, and obviously cannot afford her children. I am guessing she is on at least one form of public assistance (welfare, WIC, food stamps, Medicaid, etc.). The public (including me) gets tired of supporting women who can't use birth control.





She needs to get sterilized, go to college, and try to make the best of her life.
Well, it's better then making the kids live on the streets. But I would hope that the mother is PREVENTING pregnancy at all costs. It's one thing to bring a child into the world, but when you bring two, three and more when you KNOW you cannot properly care for them...it's selfish. It's harming the child, it's hurting the other already born children and it's selfish to put the grandparents through something they shouldn't be doing in the first place.
Well I think this question should have been asked prior to having three kids. If a person cannot afford to take proper care of their children they shouldnt have them. It is one thing if someone is going through a rough patch, but if this is a permanant situation then it is wrong.
What does it matter now...they have the kids and can't afford daycare...so what are they supposed to do about it now? That doesn't mean that the situation can't change. I was in the same position but with 2 children but i worked my way through school and can afford it now.
I think it's more common than some people realize.


With the cost of living being so high anymore I'd say yes it's ok.. Temporarily anyway.


My question for you would be ';What do your parents think about it?';


I'm also assuming that your a single parent.
I guess it's ok for some people, but it isn't right or proper thats for sure. I am 21 with 2 kids, and 13 weeks 4 days with our third and last. Bought my house at 19. I couldn't imagine living with parents. I moved out at 17, pregnant, got married, and moved 2200 miles away.
Are you working to better yourself, or are you just using your parents so you can live like you want to? For your kids sake, try to get where you can take care of yourself and the kids. Your parents can still help, but not as much.
Yes. No one understand stands family anymore. Family's are suppose to stick together, help each other out, be apart of each other's lives. People forget that now adays.
If they have to.





but they should have used bc in the first place until they were stable enough to support a family.
I wont say it's ok but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
no if they cant afford day care they cant afford children....
probley not Partents dont need that much stress on there hands i would say try to find your way around it ....
