Would you be homeless or just living in a less ideal home?
I am lucky to live in a country where my choice really is just a trade in the level of material comfort, but I understand this is not the same for everyone.
I would be homeless, first and foremost, because I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage and the bank would seize my assets.
Eventually I would be eligible for state benefits and placed on a waiting list for a council owned property, but waiting lists are long. I might be able to get shelter in a women's refuge in the mean time, but I'm not sure that's an ideal place to raise my children just so that I can claim the moral high ground on childcare use.
