<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinance, Im in somewhat of a dire situation and I dont know where to go from here. Im a 22-year-old single mother with a 2-year-old son. I was divorced from my ex-husband and father of the child earlier this year and have yet to receive a single dollar in child support through the courts. Hes over 1,000 behind.I live with my parents, but they cant watch my child enough so that I can hold down a regular job. I bought a used car from a private seller with my income tax returns, but Im unable to pay the sales tax and registration 300 and the 30-day period just ended. I also have a 130month auto insurance bill due in a couple of days.I need some form of daycare assistance so that I can find employment, but I have to have a job first before I apply. I realize I made some big mistakes financially along the way and its putting myself and my child in a tough position... but I really want to find a way out of this.Bills: Vehicle sales tax registration: 300 past due Auto insurance: 130 due in a couple of days Phone bill: 45 due in a week and a half Necessities: 70 on diapers and wipes Gas: Probably 100 every monthReceiving: Food Stamps: 360 every month Child Support: 0 every monthMy parents arent going to help me regarding the vehicle, day care, phone, gas, etc. I dont want to ask anyone for money, but I dont know what Im going to do! :Thanks to anyone with any advice  <response>: Have you considered seeing if there is any way one of your parents could watch over your son at night, while he would mostly be sleeping, so you can work the graveyard shift somewhere? Do they have a vehicle you could borrow at night? Maybe you could offer them some of your earnings in exchange for this form of assistance? If so perhaps you could sell that car for the time being to gain some savings.
