Amanda needs to grow up herself. Neither she nor Brenda can change Mike.
I agree. Why is the baby not in daycare? They should both work and make an income. Mike was right they can't survive on $8 an hour but if they both work, it can be $16 an hr. Plus the (grand)parents need a break from both of them and not be expected to also do all the mothering for that baby. They daycare can give them all a break.
Plus Mike and Brenda said they provide everything for the baby and not the grandparents. That is not true. If the grandparents where not giving them shelter and looking after them there would be not money for the baby. So, indirectly, they are providing everything for the baby.
Thirdly, They are complaining about sleeping on the floor and (grand) parents doing housework at 6 in the morning. Are you kidding me? Mike and Brenda should be doing all the housecleaning not complaining how they are not treated like six yrs old kids
