playhouse of a relative, with a toddler. No job, did have a car though. No money, how the hell to get a job when all the decent day cares were full and expensive. Why pay to have someone else raise my child while I worked to bring home $1/hour (after paying for childcare). Living off family sucks. Is ok for a while, then gets really hard since no matter what, everything comes with a price.
