Oh, and the next 3 weeks should have a bonus side effect. W has relied almost completely on the family she's been staying with to go out and get away from the kids, go out with friends, etc.

Now she's on her own, and she'll have the kids 24/7 unless she pays a babysitter which she can't really afford, especially once the bills hit. Also, she won't be able to stay out all hours now too. Interesting times ahead!
