She may not mind looking after your daughter for you so that you can finish school first, however, she may also think that your idea is a good one. Speak with her and see if you can work something out between the two of you. Not having a child myself, I'm not the best person to give too much advice, but I wanted to say I think you're doing really well at the moment. Your daughter is lucky to have a mum who cares for her so much.
Thank you, it is really nice to see someone say that. I don't usually hear that from anyone. My Grandma is the only one who has really been supportive. I am leaning more towards wanting to find a full-time job as my Grandma is falling behind on her bills. And I know most people say stay in school it's important you need it for a good career. But right now working feels more important to me. I just don't know if I will regret it one day or not. I'm hoping maybe someday I will be able to go back to school if I want to. Also does anyone know what sort of jobs I should be able to apply to? I've thought of fast food restaurants, grocery & retail stores, waitress jobs. All of those jobs though pay minimum wage and are usually not full time or with benefits. I know without even finishing high school I can't expect much better but I'm just wondering if there are any other jobs I haven't thought of that I might be qualified for.
