What are you gonna do, leave the kids alone while you take an hour for lunch? Everyone who makes that kind of money works their ass off and is stressed - who expects 9 K a month for a nice, cushy job where you sit on the internet all day? I'm working in a hotel now where I make around $1600/month for working all hours - every weekend, late nights, overnights, running around attending to peoples' needs. 9K to look after 2 babies........ where do I send my resume?

Amen, girl. I have done the same thing, I too would send my resume.
