> What is better? Having a job to take care of kids? Or telling the story to your kids about how you left a place because you didn't believe in what the company believed/ was doing/ etc? It seems the latter would let your child see you as a genuine human being who doesn't allow money to dictate their lives.
I'd rather have a job that sucks in order to take care of my kids. It certainly beats telling them the story about how you quit your crappy job because money doesn't dictate your life. And how that's the reason behind why the state took them away and you can only see them during supervised visits once a week at their foster home. You know, because you can no longer adequately provide for them after quitting your job.
The above isn't being facetious; at least in the US, it's entirely possible to have your kids taken away if you end up living out of your car. And it will not look good when you go up to a judge to get your kids back that the circumstances that led to such an outcome were entirely of your own volition (i.e. you quit instead of getting fired).
