When I was 18 - 3 years ago - it was near impossible for me to find a job. I can't imagine what it's like now with the economy the way that it is. Experience is an extremely valuable thing - and it's hard to have it when you've just turned 18.

again, I cover this because it may be too upsetting to you Le Petitie Moi.
Spoiler:
IMHO she's not hungry enough, she's not worried enough, she's not motivated enough. It means that if she had NOTHING to fall back on... she'd have no choice and she would get it done.
that doesn't mean she isn't trying. she's trying at her own comfort level.
LPM I don't want to seem like I'm picking on you because I'm not. I'm pointing out that there are people who have it worse off than you with no experience with a child and somehow making it happen without taking government assitance.
time is ticking I'm not making a value judgement here, but we still haven't heard of any volunteer opportunities she's taken advantage to gain this now "necessary" experience.
