If mother is 38 and the girls are teenagers, why isn't SHE working? No excuse. I have two children, and have never had more than six months off since my eldest was born - with my son I took maternity leave. And what for? - obviously so that I can pay for dropouts like these. And I had a husband who was earning - but we wanted a decent life, so we worked to pay for it. I would agree with compulsory adoption - otherwise we are just going to breed another generation with the same inability to take responsiblity for themselves. There are plenty of people out there who would love to take on a child, and would bring it up decently and properly, and fund it themselves.
