If my hubby is going to work early and I have to go away for work then my kids will stay with my parents - reason being that schools don't let kids in before 7:50-8am and most kids don't like before school care. By staying a g'parents the kids get a sleep in watch cartoons and eat grandma's breakfast and grandpa takes them to school. Its a win win. Its a treat for them to have a bit of a different routine and if this had to be the case regularly - kids are flexible and grandparents enjoy their company so I don't really see this as being a big deal in the life of working parents or in the case of Allison easing herself back into the workplace.
One thing tho - and absolute no disrespect intended to ABC but if my hubby's business was going under and I had the potential to earn an income - despite how pathetic it was and I had some family support even GBC parents - I would be working my little butt off to provide for my girls. So I am thinking there are reasons that ABC was not able to move straight back into the workforce besides finding the right job. We all have to have a fall back position in times of financial crisis but I think she was probably so tormented by her family problems that this made it impossible for her to work a regular job.
